Cbump Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Nothing fancy. Trying to figure out what to do with these rods I didn’t need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redmeansdistortion Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Finally got around to finishing this one, going to take it out tomorrow morning on the local trout stream and see how she does. I'm planning on fishing it with my 4'10" Major Craft Finetail Stream Glass. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User bulldog1935 Posted July 16, 2022 Super User Share Posted July 16, 2022 @redmeansdistortion looking forward to your fishing report. In the meantime, I assume you cast to set up the Avail internal mag. How many magnets, and how light will it throw? Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I feel I need the mag, then I'm throw it in on the water. I just finished spooling it up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmeansdistortion Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Maiden trip with the 1600C today, hammered the white bass in the canals of Lake St Clair. I was throwing a little bit of everything, Rapala CD1, 3" Powerbait Minnow on a 1/32 head, some Daiwa Silver Creek 44S sinking minnows, and some Major Craft Eden 50H minnows. I have no need for the mag brake. Zero spool tension and a pair of ultralight weight brake blocks and this thing is a zinger. Not much thumb input required either, I just have to thumb when I want my bait to drop. Now I understand why the 1500C/2500C platform is so admired, this thing is fantastic! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User bulldog1935 Posted July 17, 2022 Super User Share Posted July 17, 2022 @redmeansdistortion yeah, thumb-stop is kind of optional on 1500C - it kind of plays out right where you want to fish 3 g, 5 g, 7g ... It will also zing 3.5 g spoons a Long Way - the width of any TX hill country river, anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2DM Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Finally got mine in today, took it out for a few and I can already tell it's better than my 18 Bantam for sure. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice rig dude. I see you are in Norman....lived there from '99-'07. Went to school there and stayed around a few years after. Great ponds to fish, which Tulsa doesn't have.

Cbump Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I was at the tackle store the other day looking at a Poison Adrena and It had a made in China sticker on It. Really confused me for the price and It being Shimano. Are they all this way? Not bashing. Also noticed a USA Zillion there that was made in Thailand. But my JDM Zillion was made in Japan. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that chinese manufacturing has improved...one of my nicest built rods is made in china (Daiwa BLX). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4g63power Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Finally gave in and picked up a new zillion tw hd. This is my first new reel purchase since early last year. It's very smooth for an 8.1 ratio reel. The boost spool is okay, obviously meant for lures on heavier side, it's nice to have a deep spool option, i use mostly 34mm SV spools. Happy with it so far. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted July 23, 2022 Super User Share Posted July 23, 2022 My first BFS casting rod Kuying Super Lite Ajing 7'6" Used with Daiwa T3 RoroX spool 8# X5 line and 1/32jig with Keitech 2.5" swing impact. I think around 3 grams or so total lure weight. Lots of fun with this today. first fish first catfish, rod handled it well. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User bulldog1935 Posted July 25, 2022 Super User Share Posted July 25, 2022 Ooh, ooh, ooh... Fresh outta da box. Sorry guys, got the last one on Amazon.JP for $257 shipped DHL Express. Like any good warewolf tale, he'll change... OK, I just checked - they still say Only 1 left - so it's still there. I'm quite sure no exchange rate fluctuation will give me buyer's remorse. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbump Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Bad picture but just picked this up for $50. Going to try my hand at customizing It for a swimbait reel. Going to make a thread about It because I don’t know where to start. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
