I guess I should have been more specific lol. Handle length and I have the original 70s non MGL. Curious if the stock JDM Mets are comparable in size to what is included on the original 70s or are they even smaller than that (handle length and knobs).

Thanks Scott! I'm a little curious on this before I pull the trigger. If it is something smaller than what the 70 has, I may take advantage of the Bass Pro Spring Sale and save a few dollars and not have to upgrade anything.

Can anyone share how the JDM Metanium and USDM Curado 70 compare when it comes to handle diameter and knob size? I hear a lot abou the JDM Metanium being undersized for some, and I was curious how it compares. I have a few 70s, and I don't mind the handle and knob sizing.

That is a good point. Do you have any recommendations on a ML/F?

Gents, I'm in the process of selling some of my gear as I normally do from time to time. However, I would like to get down to a good 3-4 rod setup. I'm starting to spend more time fishing out of my Kayak and tagging along with several buddies outside of using my boat the rest of the time. So I'm thinking of moving more towards a minimal approach. I am after a good 3-4 setups to cover 90% of what is out there. So my question, if you had to choose 3-4 rods to do this, what would you choose? As of right now, I am considering 842, 843, and 844 MBRs with the JDM metaniums. I'd like to see what you guys think on this topic.

Hello everyone. I'm looking to purchase two new setups. I mostly do a great deal of pitching and skipping soft plastics and spinner baits. I throw some top water from time to time (buzz and frogs) as well with some occasional craink baits (maybe 10% of the time). The areas where I wish tend to be grassy and fairly shallow for the most part through the year. I'm looking to get two new setups to cover what I stated above fairly well. I have a fair budget of around $650. Could you all offer up some recommendations based on my criteria? Any help would be great! I have been looking at the Lews Tournament Pro SS, St. Croix Avid series, The Gen 3 Revo SX (I love the ones I currently have), but I'm definately open to suggestions as I haven't been up to date on the latest offerings. I currently own the following. Revo SX Generation 1 6.4 - BPS Extreme 6'8" MH Revo SX Generation 1 7.1 - American Rod Smith 7' M Revo SX Generation 2 6.4 - Veritas 7'3" MH Shimano Curado200B - 6.2 - Allstar 6'6" MH Thanks all!!!! Hoping to put something new in the water this upcoming weekend!
