That's a nice rod, huh? It is an awesome worm/jig rod if you use braided line. I smack em down left and right with that bad boy.

Caught this monster on a senko 

 

get a load of this.

That gives a new meaning to "frogging" 

Pick up a Majorcraft Skyroad 9' light for castinig spoons, darter heads/plastic.

A few new reels. Bought the TDZ 100m used but the Alphas SV and Exscence DC new. Both of the new reels arrived today. Hoping to try them soon. Spooled them up with line now to add "fish slime" And for all the color coordinators out there everything matches!

Which XX model is the TD Z riding on?

Thanks Goose. What do you use your Antares '12 for?

Thanks Goose. What do you use your Antares '12 for?

 

It's the standard Antares - 5.6:1 ratio (26IPT).  I have it on a St. Croix MH-Mod cranking rod and mostly use it for shallow to mid-depth cranks from 3/8 to 3/4 ounce.  It's good for lipless cranks as well.

 

Smooooooth...!

In love with this setup.

 

Picture is kind of blurry... must be a sasquatch in the background.

Here's another equally blurry pic

 

I have always wondered if mixing Shimano and Megabass was the right thing to do and I am still undecided on it but right or wrong, your combo looks great.

Don't know either! But it feels so right. Thanks man.

Nice combo, bfs xg feels really good on the megabass bfs rods

Everything looks sharp Matt! Well done sir.

Aldebaran Mg7 and Poison Glorious combos. At the top is a PG164L Multirole and at the bottom is a PG168L Long Distance.

 

Well done on those John! Ever tried the Poison Ultima?

Lotta nice shimanos on this page! Sweet rods all around too

 

thehooligan how do you like those zpi knobs? I'm debating between those and some black avail wood knobs. Would love something with a similar shape but with EVA foam.

Well done on those John! Ever tried the Poison Ultima?

Thank you!

 

No. The Poison Ultima was supposed to be next on my buy list but I wanted to get the PG Multirole while Samurai Tackle had it in stock. I am now saving for a PG Hardbait Finesse or the Poison Ultima 162L-S and if a Hardbait Finesse doesn't turn up, then I will get the Ultima. The Hooligan has the PU 162L-S.
