Has anyone heard anything definitive about the future of Revenge Baits? I use a lot of their products and would hate if they were finished.

I want to buy a Steez A for deep cranking but I am stuck between the 5.3 and 6.3 gear ratio. I’ll be using cranks as large as the Big M 7.0. I would like more IPT than the 22” the 5.3 offers but I am concerned about cranking power if I go with the 6.3. I would like to hear everyone’s general thoughts about this. I would also like to hear if anyone has used the 6.3 Steez A for big deep cranks.

Zoom super fluke is one of my favorite baits. Catch a ton of fish on them every year but I’ve had my fair share of issues with them. They are at the cheaper end of the spectrum as far as baits go I’m sure that plays a role. Personally I’d be fine paying a little more per pack for a more consistent product.

I’ve bought two reels from Japan during this whole ordeal. One as recently as last week. Both shipped and received as usual and being from NY both obviously came through NY customs. Of course things could always change and the virus has really exploded here the past couple weeks, so you really never know.

Don’t write off the Exsence because of the 3000 label. It is very much in line with what most would expect out of a typical bass reel. Even regarding spool size the 3000 Exsence has a capacity of 8/110 the Stradic has a capacity of 8/140. Personally I don’t understand where the 3000 label comes from, what I do know is it’s a very nice reel and would definitely recommend it.

Was just about to post the same thing. But I like japanlureshop.com better. Got a Bantam for $288 with shipping and PayPal exchange rate.

Don’t have the current model but I use the original JDM version for jerkbaits and love it. Have had good hook up ratio and don’t have any troubles with handle length.

I have since sold all my Dobyn's rods, but have owned 743,744,745 and 745HP. All balanced well and we're very comfortable to fish. If you want the extra length I don't think you will be disappointed by balance.

Same here. Saw on TT a few people mention this so opened mine and it was dry.

What other issues are you hearing about? I have some interest in the regular Steez TW and would assume these issues would carry over.

If you really want to get the best rod possible for your money, I would say don't be afraid to buy used. I have gotten some great deals personally and have seen many more I missed out on. Over the the winter I got a Steez XT rod for $160 and I received it looking brand new, just one example. The Poison Adrena rods can found in your range often and retail for $400, they also fish like a $400 rod. Just make sure the guy seems trustworthy and use PayPal. I've become a big fan of the buy/sell forums. Honestly this site doesn't seem to have as much as others. Not sure if we're supposed to mention them but you probably know them already anyway.

No mine looks very nice, and still does after using it for two seasons. I do make a conscious effort to take good care of my gear though.

I have one and it is probably my favorite reel. If you are talking about the MGL metanium I have one of those as well. When it comes to pure casting distance the metanium is the better performer. The Steez wins every other category though, in my opinion. Comfort, smoothe retrieve ease of use and especially looks/cool factor.
