What pairing is that Matt? Any upgrades to the reel?

That's an IS63L with a MB IS Finesse spool. I will take a shot in the dark. The rod is a Destroyer Phase 3 Criffhanger....?

Tim is close, lol

Mb x7 super criffhanger, Mb IS71, hedgehog air bearings, MB carbon knobs with zpi bearings, and IS finesse spool.

Couldn't see the reel seat, Matt- otherwise I would have known it was from the X7 line. Sweet set-up, no doubt!

My abu's. All 7ft. Far right is a winch with the orra winch reel. Mid is a micro guide with orra 2 sx. HAvent decided on a third reel yet

That's another amazing combo man, I love it!

NRX has landed!! Ordered 6/20/15 and got it 6/25/15.

 

803C JWR

 

Don't worry Goose, I will be working on getting a fish with it later this evening...

You beat me to it...I was going to post my usual "now you need a reel, line, and fish slime" comment...

 

My new NRX 852S will be arriving tomorrow. Thanks for the tip about the sale!

Awesome!  Have fun catching!!

 

I'm contemplating on purchasing either my first NRX or JDM reel.  I have budget only enough for 1 right now, but this sure is making me lean towards a NRX.

d**n....when are you putting that up for sale? LOL

I expect epic pics after July 4th sales. I may have 1-2 more purchases in my future but the extreme heat probably wont allow me to fish them until January =/

Where are you fishing, the equator?

 

 

2nd fish on the NRX was a dink. 1st was also. This rod is crazy sensitive....... I'm liking how this 803 handles 1/4 oz jigs.

Nice, that should get the "Goose52" highest level of approval rating!

 

Rod in use - Check

Reel in use and spooled with line - Check

Fish slime - Check

Small fish, big fish - they all have slime...

 

Congrats on getting the new rod on the water and catching fish...

Added some knobs to the finesse combo. Plus a 90mm tatula handle until I get a carbon one.

That's awesome Adam

Thanks Goose. I'm not a big fan of red, but it works well on this reel.

Looks good!   

I think that red looks clean af on that rod and reel.

Goose52 won't like this but I am working on getting the approval rating. Spooling it up tommorow night and will be fishing it for a bit this weekend. Fish slime will depend upon a bit of luck and good fortune!

New reel came in today Pretty similar to the Curado I. It's lighter and narrower but longer. I'm definitely a fan of the longer handle. Out of the box feels about as smooth as the Curado, should loosen up when I throw some line on it and catch some fish
Have it on an E6X for now: Bought it from Japan Lure Shop. Not bad for $260! Also thought it was nice they threw in a Fuji lure keeper as a "gift", which is perfect because I'm buying a Megabass rod for it.

Very nice carpet, eh... Reels!

Thanks! Lol. It's actually pretty dirty    It's an oriental rug, only open place I could find in the house that was soft enough for the reel!

Did you buy the Megabass rod from JLS? All they have ever given me is stickers. Stickers are cool but a hook keeper is cooler.
