Had mine a couple months now paired to a GLX 844 MBR and I absolutely love it. Still think my Metaniums are slightly better but this is a close second.

Sierra in my opinion is a better rod and better looking as well. The 734 in particular is a great versatile rod I'd recommend to anyone.

If it was me and specifically for cranking I'd get a Bantam

I use a Metanium Mgl and couldn't be happier.

Ya I'm probably overly worried about it. I'll have to add "The one" to the list to check out.

That's reassuring. I've heard from a lot of people that use braid to leader and never had any issues but with my luck I always worry.

Ya I thought about "the one" but the AGS guides worry me as I will be using braid to leader. Ill have to take a look at the kistler I've heard good things about them but never used one. The legend X2 look great and I've heard nothing but great things about them.

Appreciate all the help from everyone. Made the first order have a GLX 844 MBR, P5 Madbull, and Went with a Poison Adrena 610m on the way. Got one metanium mgl already and another one on the way along with a Zillion TW HD. So as the line up sits right now it will be. Levante Shakeyhead/ Tatula MQ LT Poison Adrena 610M/ Metanium MGL P5 Madbull/ Metanium MGL GLX 844 MBR/ Zillion TW HD Orochi XX Launcher/ Curado 200m Levante Leviathan/ Curado 300k Phenix Classic BFS/ Curado BFS But I'm still trying to decide on a versatile spinning rod to upgrade to from the shakeyhead. So any opinions would be appreciated. Considering 852 JWR, 842 SJR, 822 DSR, P5 addermine, also considering St. Croix and Great lakes finesse rods. But open to other suggestions outside of those.

Looks like the Casting side is pretty similar to what they already had but doubled the spinning

Ok I see. Thanks I'll go take a look at it and watch the video.

No... lol I don't even know what your talking about? What's "The One"?

Appreciate your input. I planned on the Zillion TW HD being an 8:1. I considered the Tequila but most of my jig and T-rig fishing is with 3/8-1/2oz weight + Trailer. Haven't weighed trailers but I assume it would be close to that low end of the rating around 3/4oz. I've heard people like the GLX 844MBR for frogging but still have some doubts on it. I do prefer a softer tip for walking frogs and feel my hook up ratio is better with a softer tip. I currently have a perfect pitch that I use for frogging. I plan on keeping it as a back up just in case. I could just take that when I plan on doing some frogging. But kinda defeats my whole purpose of downsizing.

I'll look into it some more Ya I can of expect that might happen with the P5s but could have worse problems lol. I appreciate the input. I'm kind of on the fence about the windbuster now though after listening to some others opinions.

I prefer a longer rod. I like 6'10"-7'2" for most things. Ya the shorter length does worry me a bit. I prefer 6'10"-7'2" for most things

Ya I'm looking for a versatile bottom contact spinning combo. Mainly for neds and senkos but the ability to do other things. The online videos praised the windbuster as a do all even though it's designed as a hard bait rod. Thinking I might go with something like the 822 DSR instead. For the jerkbait rod I'm still between the expride or making the jump to the 110 special. Thanks again for your help.
