Wow, thank you for this info! This helps a lot!

I am wondering if it would be capable of handling 20lb fluorocarbon, or 65 lb braid

I see it now, sorry I’m an idiot! Lol. So all gear ratios are brass for the regular Metainium? If I understand right, the JDM versions have shallower spools in general than the USDM reels. Would a...

Not sure how to determine if the Metainium is shallow spool or not on Japan Lure Shop, or Digitaka. Any way to tell?

I was wondering if anyone knew of Shimano or Daiwa reels that are JDM, and have brass gearing… have been looking at some reels to throw swim jigs, and swimming worms in heavy cover, and would like...

Thanks to all for the responses!

I am looking for a generally good overall lineup in that range. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to purge a lot of my old tackle, and am trying to build it back up. Rods in this range would...

Looking for input on rods in that $150 or so price range. Have eyed a few brands online, and looking to see if anyone can give me first hand experience with them. Specifically, Powell Endurance, ALX...

Awesome! Thanks everyone for the replies.

Thanks for the replies!

Usually 17-20 lb fluro, but occasionally braid

Thank you for the info! I guess I would have to admit that I like a rod replacement program, in addition to a warranty. If I knowingly did something, I can see the issue. I take very good care of my...

Can anyone tell me what they think of the warranty program from St. Croix? It’s a little different than the warranty that I have dealt with with Dobyns before. Thanks in advance!

Curious to get opinions on this. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!

Just curious as to how big the handle on this reel is. Thanks!

Title says it all. Let’s here some suggestions!

Ordered this rod, and was wondering if anyone had an opinion on what it was best for. Felt one in store (which was a medium action), and it felt stiffer than what the action says. Bought it as a jack...

It was an awesome rod, but I broke two of them. Moving on from them now.

Awesome video as always!

Thanks for the links to those products! Will certainly have to look into those items.

Thanks for all the responses! Willwork4fish, I sent you a PM.

I am about to dive into this world, and I hope to build my own complete lineup of rods. Eventually, I wouldn’t mind doing some custom work for people on the side (of course, if I’m any good), and who...

So far, ALX is the rod to beat for me.

Thanks a lot for that feedback! Pretty much covers all my questions regarding these rods. :thumb up2:
