...and the yak is now full.

Picked up a Dobyns fury 735 for my new frog rod. I am really loving it so far.

Liking the Fenwicks.

Added this guy to the club.  Going to be using it for Trigs and small jigs.  I have been really happy with my kistler KLX (crank rip and twitch).  Their sale on FB made it a no brainer.  I am going to be putting this MGL on a Kistler Magnesium 2 rod (7ft Heavy-MH XFast).

I guess it still counts even if I'm not keeping any of them. Newer Steez SV reels with 2nd gen Zillion rods. Buy em up folks.

Might be the 1st person in USA with this!

I have not had a chance to fish it yet.  I like what I have felt of it so far.  I had a last generation ci4+ and sold it because it did not feel as solid as my FK...it felt hollow to me for lack of a better term.  This one feels more like the FK and is even lighter than the outgoing ci4+.

After you fish it a few times could you do a review on it. I am in the market for a new spinning reel and have been looking at the new stradic.

Tdz 103 with red SV 1012 spool, T3 1016 cast control cap, 100 mm Steez handle, and black Zillion Type R drag star I took off this SV103. SV103 with Steez drag star and green trim pieces. My current 2 favorite reels. 

Just bought this.  Can't wait to try it out soon.

So I'm done and ready for the opener tomorrow.  Here are my 2016 addition to the family.

3 Zodias rods, a 7' Medium Glass, 6'10 ML and 6'10 Medium.

for reels bought a Metanium XG '13, Metanium HG '13, Curado 200I HG, Curado 70 XG, Core 100 MG and Chronarch E5/E6/E7.

 

Stellar collection LMB!

New addition to the roster. Pflueger Supreme XT. I love Pflueger spinning reels so I'm seeing how I like their casting reels. As soon as I get a rod to pair her with, she'll be inserted into the starting lineup.

Tried it out yesterday morning and that thing is sweet! You really can't go wrong with anything made by Pflueger I guess.

The ALX Brawler I picked up recently is an awesome rod...It's a 7'6" XH/F that's lightweight and balanced.  Very impressed with this rod, especially in the $200 price range.  My last tournament (where this fish was caught ) and my next one are on tidal water so it'll be dedicated to flipping...But the next two after that on lakes so it'll get a reel swap for some flouro and a 3/4oz jig for deep water fishing.  

Don't see ALX mentioned a lot on here so I figured I'd toss it out there .

nice rod and VERY nice fish!

Just receive the rod today after a fairly long wait. Custom Curado 50e and a MHX Spin jig 842 but trimmed to 6'10. Dedicated jerkbait and small topwater outfit. Reel seat was sourced from Matagi in what is called vintage green which is sort of mettalic green marble color. Perfect match for the reel! Fuji alconite guides with green and gold trim work. Full cork handle and gold winding checks.
