+1 against neoprene. They are quite heavy in comparison so the tip droops a lot in travel if not supported. I also had a tip bump break that was definitely my fault, but the sleeve was a massive...
I've seen some posts on a different forum (and a YouTuber) touting the Levante version of the Whipsnake being superior to the Orochi version, despite the price and graphite material difference. It...
If you like the length, I personally find the Expride a little stiffer than I like and enjoy the p5 substantially more. Though I actually relegate it to a braid rod for mostly topwater but also big...
Broken St Croixs but never broke a Megabass (or to be fair a shimano/Loomis) so I don’t know about that. And I got mostly Megabass now.
I always hear the Orochi Megabass XX Launcher brought up from a big array of different people as the go to deep crank rod.
Did you happen to give CXX a shot and if so how did it compare? I’d love to hear more about your findings.
I bet you're right about a trade, but I actually wouldn't mind holding onto it and using it for plus sized BFS work or thin braid as an alternative to switch things up. Might shoot for a purchase...
Awesome, thanks so much for the solution! Does that work with the SV system or does it change the way it casts?
Also you mention throwing braid on yours, is it the shallow spool and if so what...
Wanted to try one of those Alphas SV TW reels after reading a bunch about them, and since I couldn't find one stateside at the time I ordered from one of the Japan>America tackle sites. I didn't...
The NRX JWR rods always felt too fast for my tastes and I much prefer the slightly slower actions of the P5 rods. Tried the FMJ but for me felt it was too close to the JWR rods, sold it and got the...
Sounds like you got the right one, sorry I didn’t help you confirm in time. I would happily sell my
Metaniums for the Zillion, I ordered one after all the positive feedback earlier and it’s just...

Y'all got me stoked to try the Zillion!
thanks for the breakdown, helps a lot!
Where do you keep that one metanium, why do the bantams stay over the metanium and for what, and where do you prefer the Zillions over those two? Thanks!
Where do you find each reel excels? Which one do you pick for jerk baits and topwater, vs which one do you pick for bottom contact, vs moving bait single hooks, vs crank baits etc. Light, heavy, hard...

That Steez is one of my favorite rods ever! Part of why I was wondering is that it might be nice to get kayak backups in my favorite styles when hitting sketchy areas. If they cross over with rods...
