Kayakers: What rods do you carry?
16x16 blackpack pro has 10 rod holders... 30 qt engel cooler has 4 holders.. And I also have 4 factory rod holders on my autopilot 120....

If you were gifted a G.Loomis NRX+...
I can't seem to find its niche in my arsenal... I've yet to discover what it excels at...I actually find it's taper much more like an mbr than it's jwr designation... I've thrown everything from chatterbaits/spinnerbait /shallow cranks/t rig/weightless plastics on it...

If you were gifted a G.Loomis NRX+...
873 is way too soft for any heavy cover... I use mine for any baits I'll be dragging along the bottom... 894 is my go to 1/2 Oz jig rod...893 for 1/4 to 3/8... 895 is my flipping/punch rod...

If you were gifted a G.Loomis NRX+...
894c is the perfect jig rod...

If you were gifted a G.Loomis NRX+...
904c mbr... My favourite rod out of the entire lineup.. Great do it all rod... It's the most sensitive one in my hands out all the nrx I currently have..

Kayakers: What rods do you carry?
4 to 12 different setups.. All depends on what lake I'm on and how I plan on fishing...

What's your dream kayak setup?
I love my ap120 too much to ever consider another kayak... I've come to terms with it not being fast during travel to and from spots... But the minn kota is perfect for fishing....I've seen friends with bow mounted trolling motors on their pdls, but they still can't get into heavy cover the way I can.. I can always add an NK motor in the future to solve speed issues...

Why an expensive rod?
I consider my gear tools... And some people prefer to use nicer tools... I'd rather spend my money on high end gear than yearly vacations... I'll get more enjoyment that way instead of sitting on a beach somewhere warm...

If you could have one reel.
Current Gen Shimano metanium...

Favorite Megabass Destroyer P5 rods?
Paired with a shallow spool metanium.. Can easily handle.. That's as bfs as I get.. Ned rigs catch big fish.. I don't find it enjoyable trying to finesse a big fish in with light line and gear... Xbites is not my idea of a heavy power rod, I have zero confidence in using anything over 3/8 on it.. It's a fantastic rod, that and the javelin are the only 2 p5s I still have and use...

Extending the life of a Keitech
I've tried melting the heads with a lighter... Not the best solution because it does heat the inside too well... I got a soldering iron to try to insert to melt the interior to see if that will be better but I haven't tested out my theory just yet lol...

Crankbait rods

Feedback on 2-Rod Setup for Versatile Bass Fishing (Casting + Spinning)
I would go with a 7 to 72 m spinning rod... You can still do finesse.. Drop shot... More versitle than just an ultra lite setup...
-
Favorite New Plastics
Anything Xzone.. They are affordable and catch fish...
-
Dumb line storage on rod question..
I have lures tied on all season.. Never notice any issues with line kinks or breakage in all my years doing so..
-
Rod for Frogging/Punching/Swimbaits, and possibly Pitching/Flipping
What's your budget?... If around 300..expride 73 XH is a great choice..
-
do you own more rods or more reels, or same?
Pretty close.. But have more rods than reels currently...

NRX+ vs Conquest: So What's the Verdict?
I prefer my 873 for any baits I'm dragging along the bottom like a football jig or trig big worm... 894 is my go to 1/2 flipping jig rod... 904 is my dedicated 4.8 Keitech swing fat impact rod... I have them all in nrx plus versions... Out of all 8 nrx I currently have... 904 is the most sensitive in my hands and is my favorite model... I've never tried any conquest rods to compare to the nrx..
