Thank you. I have Levante EMTF and Flat Side Special. both very interesting and functional in their respective roles - though I don't fish anything less than 1/2oz on the FSS.

I'm also looking...

Thank you Mark. I was trying to get a handle on the Dark sleeper rod. I currently own Orochi XX Brailist and Perfect Pitch. Would either of these be similar?

I would really like a way to be able to relate any of the higher end MB rods to the less expensive Orochi XX.

It's understood that the less expensive Levante rod will not perform exactly like the...

hmmmm, now you got ME thinking...

y'all use 854 for lighter baits than 873?..

Hi, can you compare your GLX 852, 853, and 854 to your NRX versions? thanks...

OK I was confused. I have both JDM XG and 2020 US Metanium HG and I can find no difference in feel or function. I know the the JDM is cheaper, the spool is smaller, and the XG handle is the same size...

you mean Curado 150? the Curado 150 MGL is a very good reel. the Metanium 2020 is a great reel. it's a difference I can tell with my eyes closed.

edit: wait, you mean JDM 2020?..

thank you for your reply. I already have the previous non-MGL 70 and like it except the drag is silly weak. I'm going to pull it apart and look at it tonight.

Anyway, I almost got the new one but...

not related to your issue but how do you like that reel otherwise? how do you fish it, lures/sizes,? how is it compared to your other reels, maybe the Curado 150?

thanks. I'm almost unwilling to send it to them as it took soooooo long to get it in the first place. interestingly, Punch (member here and Youtube dude) mentioned the same situation with a Gloomis...

I finally got a 7M spinning and the cork is standing proud of the grip on one side of the lower handle. this is irritating to say the least as it's noticeable in the hand and high enough to catch on...

Sssssshhhhh!

:laugh:

Sssshhhhhhh!

:beers:

Is that C-Map chip any good? I've been told to get the Navionics Platinum + for my Lowrance Elite Ti9

yep. I use if for my did divers and chatterbaits as well...

overkill for what?..

yeah I've seen a handful of them online. but what I'm talking about is I've had a pre-order in at tackle warehouse since they were first listed. the available date was originally stated, I think, as...

What's with the new Expride? it was supposed to be available in "early spring". then that date got changed to June. now I see it's listed as September. this is not how things are supposed to be......

ah ok, now I see... I'm thinking maybe I should keep the 3 bank for if/when I go to a 24v system.

thanks. my fishing shop said 3 bank charger with 2-banks for 2 batteries parallel. I called NOCO and they said 1 bank for 2 batteries parallel. so now I have a 3x5 and a 2x5 charger sitting here. I...

I have a 12v trolling motor using 2 x 12v batteries run parallel. I bought a 3-bank charging system but I was later told I only need a 2-bank charger. Which is correct?..

I've got an HG on my 7'3" Expride and I plan to give it a workout tomorrow. I know it's nowhere's near frog conditions on Oconee right now but that's not going to stop me trying out this combination

interesting. I never heard of this.

perhaps even more interesting is I can't stop seeing it with constant advertisements of this exact reel popping up in all my newsfeeds...

sounds to me like you got a 500 reel, not a 2500...
