I have officially lost my mind. Metanium DC on the way.. Anyone fish one yet?

 

Yes. See:  Shimano Metanium Dc Reel - Initial Review / Impressions

The dancing partner for my stradic ci4+ will be here tomorrow...a 13 *** 7'1 MLXF

Well after some buying and selling my starting lineup is basically complete. I'd like to sell one of the PX68's and try the new Alphas SV. I have a built Chronarch 51e that I'd like to sell to fund an SS SV. I want a MB Diablo for the Zonda also.

Where did you get that rack? I dig it.

Where did you get that rack? I dig it.

You can't tell because of the rods but it says PING across the back glass. It's a rack used to display a set of clubs in a pro shop. A friend of mine gave it to me when they got new displays at his course. Just happens to work perfectly for 7 combos. Now I need to find a second.

Here are my setups for now.  Still trying to find the right feel between all of the rods and reels. 

Got this back today from Trey Harpel.

Chronarch 51e - core gears and drag star assy.

Metanium XG 96mm handle.

Carbontex drag and boca OS7 bearings.

It's for sale in the flea market too.

Hey Goose, you're slipping, there's no line on those reels.

He was just excited to see the E6X, a reel sighting.

Exactly what I was thinking. Loomis rod shock.

The more i see the e6x the more i want one!

I think a chronarch 51 would be sweet on one

Well, since the OP doesn't have a location specified, I gave him/her the benefit of the doubt and assumed that they live in Alaska and wouldn't need line on the reels........................

 

I can't be the "Line Police" on this thread anyway - takes too much time that could be better spent fishing.......which is what I will be doing in about 30 minutes.....

^{The new dropshot rig AKA "Deadly Sin Stick"}

No line on it yet. I just got the e6x yesterday and the ice here in Ohio is gonna be here for awhile still unfortunately.

Curado I is here. My first Shimano and it won't be my last. 

 

 

I don't normally get on here to post pics of my stuff.......but this one I just had to! (Assist goes to Dwight Hottle)

that is AWESOME!!!

Picked up these two this morning, MBR 843 & 844. Hoping to fish them Sunday.

Outstanding!  One of those MBRs was going to be my choice in the E6X contests...

Pleaseen provide a review on the E6X rods after you get some time on the water with them

Will do! They feel really nice to me, especially in this price range. I again compared them to the new Zodias rods today and I came away with the exact same impression as last time, these feel like the better rod. I know "better" isn't really the correct word here more like the E6X feels more like how I think a rod should. Doesn't mean I'm right, just means I made the best choice for me.

Jealous I want to fish mine now
