I can’t compare to the 7’6h, I don’t have it. It’s not a perfect mat punching rod in florida but I was able to punch 1.5oz with a gambler why not without it being too mushy, it was definitely at the...
I know it’s not all about weight but for comparison the zillion 7’2H weighs over an ounce more than the expride 73 xh, 5.6 vs 4.4
This rod is amazing. I used it for five consecutive days in Florida and was super happy. I originally bought it for some flipping and frogging as one pro recommended it for that. After fishing it, I...
What hardware is needed to mount these ?
you can get away with one strut on the 1999 58vx main center front compartment ?
Ranger was not able to tell me if the originals called for 30 or 40lb...

Think 1/2 - 1 1/4 ounce, thick grass & cheese. Does the extra leverage above 7’3 make a big difference ?
What is it? Why? Do you prefer longer or shorter ? I’ve been using my 73xh expride...
are we saying the middle compartment shock is the same as the rod lockers ? 10 inch extended, 7 inch compressed ?
Does the main center lid have one or two shocks ?
Anything new on this? I’d like some clips but have a hard time paying $50 for frito clips lol. I’d rather buy the firto clips and the tape separately. Anything else better out there?
I’ve tried a lot of reels on that rod. Personally, I’d never put a mentanium on it, it feels like a brick for may reasons. The absolute best pairing I’ve found is. Steez ct sv 70.
The old model is...
Bobby’s perfect and scum launch frog. Got 100 frogs and these are the only two I’ll throw.
Daiwa SV!! As someone else said the more you spend you tend to get a little more control.skipping is SO much more difficult on my Shimano reels. Curado 70, met, bantam, slx, alderbaran, not of them...
I hear lifetime warranty but what’s the replacement like on these when compared to something like g loomis ?
783c
The conquest 783C might be the best dock skipping rod every built! Soft enough to anything and enough power when leaned into it will pull out much more than you’d expect. I caught a 9 flipping pads...
I totally agree with both versions of the Steez CT SV, I ended up with four of them and do everything with them. I slap a 100mm daiwa power handle on them to really open them up. It’s also the best...
While they aren’t the lightest rods I never considers my EMTF (Gen2) to be a heavy rod. That rod is long, is powerful and handles a variety of techniques from small to large without issue. I consider...
Brand new Megabass Orochi XX EMTF
$275 shipped
$325 with the crank baits. There’s $125+worth of crank baits there.
Bantam is a great reel but too much weight for an 873 in my opinion. That curado comes with a 100mm handle and while it’s not quite as rigid as the bantam I think we get all too caught up in that....
I recently had a guy break the top two inches off of my Orochi XX EMTF 7’5 F5 and is having it replaced. He’s giving me back the broken one with a new tip on it but it will obviously be two inches...
Send it in for repair. Daiwa will send it back good as new for free
I know the zillion has been covered a million times but I’m considering the steez a II. I’m trying to figure out what I’m getting for the extra $300.
They weigh the same
They are both aluminum...
I’m 5’11 and my favorite rod is my 6’7 heavy powered Megabass p5 tachyon shaft. Skip senkos, Texas rigs anything. Throw a frog on it. Throw jig and hell, throw a chatterbait.
521914 96mm met 16 handle with roro knobs
They all work for light through heavy baits. A reel doesn’t care what is top water. All nice, sv reels are a bit more forgiving. Side note, my Mets have all been sold since the new post 16 models...
