Nice, interestingly I eyeballed the PX68 for a while but never pulled the trigger, I went for the Zonda 68.

    When I need to toss the really light baits (1/16 to 1/4 oz) I use a Saros 1000 with a Custom Phenix K2.

I have four. 

Two 7'6" Phenix UMBX M/F. I use one for drop shotting and the other for Neko. 

Megabass Orochi XX Shaky Head for scroungers, Ned, and shaky heads. 

Lamiglas Infiniti 723 for weightless plastics which I consider a finesse technique.

Sure thing, want to buy me an early birthday gift by chance?  :D  It's likely only a matter of time, but thankfully seeing one isn't a daily occurrence/temptation for me.

That sounds about right. I think the size range is 2500 for Neko, 3000 for drop shot, and 3500 for shaky head. I could be off one size either way. 

The Supreme has caught well over 500 Spots and a good number of largemouth up into the 7lb range and it still runs like a champ. The other two are new for this season so we will see how they do.

I love my supreme 2500 for everything finesse. The supreme Xt looks like a very nice reel also.

Reel: Daiwa Taula w/ Chinese DIY BFS spool and 6lb abrazx for small cranks

Rod: 6'6" Custom St.Croix legend inshore blank with spiral wrapped micro guides Xtra-light

I use a 6'10", medium-lite Abu Garcia villain spinning rod with a 2500 size Abu Garcia Orra.  The Orra is spooled with a 8 pound gliss, usually with a short 8-10 pound test flourocarbon leader.

DVT built custom

MHX HM 7'1 Mag ML/F with Torzite Guides

Was built balanced to a Stradic ci4+ but I've since switch to a Daiwa Ballistic 2500EX 

Line I'm using 16lb SX1 with 7lb Sniper leader

My finesse rod is spinning.  G. Loomis WPJR 821s GLX (Mag-Light/XF), Shimano Stradic Ci4+ 3000 size, 10# Sufix 832 in neon lime and 8# FC leader (brand varies).

Yes, this rod is part of Loomis' walleye series.  Shhhhhh, please don't tell the bass!!!

They're sweet little reels. I found it 60% off at the new F&S in my area. That's cheaper than my sponsorship discount!
