My BMAX2 is china, my Revo S and SX are Korea.

I checked with their online support, and they will do a straight exchange in store. Just not a refund, which is fine. Now I just hope our store has them in stock. If not, I'm gonna use 6 pay and get an STX and order a Villain rod from TW. I don't NEED the STX, but I'm so d**n impressed by the S I can't help but wonder how much better the stx is lol. We'll see.

I will check with them today and see if they have any. To see what I'm talking about remove your sideplate with the brakes. Then u can see where the thumb bar is integrated in with the frame. This is where I have the play. Will basspro do an in store exchange on a 6 pay item?

I use a lefty reel, so my issue is on the brake side. I pulled the brake side plate, and can see the tab of the thumb bar that runs in a "guide". It's almost like that guide is wider than it should be. Probably just swap it out.

Took my new Revo S out on the water all day, and the reel flat out kicks butt. The only issue I'm having, is the thumb bar has what I consider to have excessive play on the right side. Basically when I go to cast, the right side of the bar goes down a bit before the spool is disengaged. Is there any way to fix this my self, or should I exchange it out?

I always cut some of the body off from the mtrs. Never did much damage with them until I did. Guess bass here didn't like them that big.

I have some on the way that were freebies. Other than that, I don't feel there is a need to pay more for them than Gamakatsus which have worked well for me for years. Hype.

Anything Grandebass is amazing. I'm a big believer in the MTRS, especially in the trophy hunter color. Been wanting to nab some of these for a drop shot. Would work well on a tx rig when average size plastics aren't working.

Wow

Check out the Okuma Tarvos rod. Very nice for around $30.

Get you some smokin roosters for that rock. Those things are awesome.

Abu Garcia is definitely upping the ante with the new Revo line. Abu also made a smart move by creating the revo shop. Can't wait to trick out my S to make it even lighter.

Found 300yds of this stuff for $4.99, and was wondering if anyone has any experience with it? It's a copolymer line like Yo Zuri Hybrid which everyone swears by, but what is the general consensus on the C21? Thanks.

I wish the Wal Mart here carried Rage Tails.

I cant' catch anything with tubes, or craws as a jig trailer. I bought these weird looking creature baits out of the YUM bargain bin at Wal Mart, and have caught a ton of fish compared to the other trailers. I wanna buy more, but the label didn't have a name, so I don't know what to look for.

I can see a Gen 3 STX in my future sitting atop a Villain rod.

7' MH Veritas.

We are walking billboards no matter what we wear, and pay much more than $9.95 most of the time.

I have some, but haven't used them as trailers. I might give them a shot now that you mentioned it.

I'm getting 3. 2 from my revo s and sx purchase, and my veritas rod. 3rd one will be shipped to my mom's house.

Thanks. Were they in ok condition? Any gouges or anything on the anodized pieces ?

Do it!

I'm actually gonna buy another Vendetta. I have a 6'6 M right now, but Academy.com has a 6'9 MH for a great price. I've had issues with busted rods from Amazon, so I don't buy rods online anymore, but this deal is just too good to pass up. I was hoping someone would have some experience ordering from them, and if they arrive newly packaged in plastic, or if they are "off the shelf" rods. And I have a question for you since you're in this thread. For the Revo S, the spring loaded brakes are always on right? The only ones that click "on" are the pitch ones correct??

I have a Veritas micro guide rod, but I have yet to fish with it. It's incredibly light, and I really like the exposed reel seat but I didn't at first. Back to the REVO S, I can't wait until mid October so I can pick up a carbon fiber handle for mine.
