SproDD79 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 It seems that some retailers have started hefty discounts on the current line up, does anyone have any intel on the rods that are replacing them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combine the two and the decision was a no for me. I much prefer cork! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatulatard Posted Wednesday at 02:25 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:25 PM Somebody left some rods out on deck for a photo shoot. Looks like production type test mules that he forgot were top secret. For those that are really bad a Where's Waldo the new rods are the cork grip rods with the silver blanks in the rod locker pic. Also there is a spinning rod on deck with a silver to black fade that also has cork grips. https://www.bassmaster.com/gear/slideshow/inside-elite-boats-cory-johnston/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetFishorDieTryin Posted Wednesday at 07:14 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:14 PM I love my Tatula, I really think there's a strong argument that its the best all around value at its price point. The elites felt really nice, but according to a Daiwa the blanks are the same and the elite represents and upgrade in the guide train and that goes for both elite models. I would have gone for the Elite had they not been so hideous. The prototypes look a little better, I like the flatter grey over the chrome silver of the current model, but the grey to black fade looks like something you would see on a rack at wal mart.

GetFishorDieTryin Posted Wednesday at 07:28 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:28 PM The cork helps a whole lot IMO. I do wish they would have changed the reel seat on the casting models. Im not a fan of how it bows out towards the rear grip . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
