Couldn't refuse, price was too good.

Go domestic!

New babies!!!!!

My first Megabass, F2-60X Criffhanger.

i broke a gen 1 *** casting rod i had like a moron....  went through the oops replacement and got a different spec ***, but was gen 2 for $50.  not a bad deal for me.  rod components and everything are a step up from gen 1, full cork handle is nice.  BUT, whoever put these guides on was still drunk from the night before.  they wobble back and forth like me on some crown and sprites.  i mean not terribly bad, but noticeable for sure.  anyhow, had to fish it last night and managed a tiny guy in this dumpster looking overflow at some apartment complex near my house.

Very nice

Thank you Matt. It should work fine for throwing finesse jigs into tight spots. I met the owner of Ultraskiff this morning and I found out that we live in the same town. You know him?

 

Pretty sure we grew up in the same town in jersey.

I asked and he is from New Jersey. Small world. LOL

Quick question for you guys with the slim ZPI knobs. Do they come with end caps?

They come with same color screwed end caps.

Thanks! Gonna order a pair

These knobs fit both Daiwa and Shimano and they are not uncomfortable at all. The thinner plastic piece is for a Shimano handle and the thicker plastic piece is for a Daiwa handle.

I have a like new pair of orange slim zpi knobs if anyone is interested. Pm me.

Some Livre action for the conquest, thanks Cheng.

Looking sharp!

Sick combo! Very solid feeling!

First cast of the day& first victim of the metanium DC.

Nice one ^ I'd love to get my hands on a met DC...

Nice looking victim! What your impressions of the Met DC to say other DC reels or even the standard 13 Met?

I think the DC is a cool feature especially for the whine. The XG ratio makes it a nice frog/jig reel. However I rarely fishing frogs and I dont think DC shines for jig application. If let me choose again I may get a low gear ratio, which may see more long casting use or the standard Met plus the yumeya BFS spool. The later one would be the best of both worlds.

Thanks for the reply. I may just get a second Exscence DC. I have yet to find a reel that I like more.

This thread is giving me withdrawals. Haven't fished in 6 weeks and I cant reasonably justify buying any fishing equipment because of my schedule. I hope black Friday slaps some sense back into me.

I hadn't purchased a fishing related product in close to 3 months. Last night I spent a bit of coin on something I have been wanting for a long time. I had a lot of anxiety about spending the $$$ but now I'm excited it's on it's way. Like nike says "just do it".
