i have the same issue. it doesn't affect performance and that's all that matters.

if you are gonna do a lot of cranking then get the bantam MGL

st croix mojo bass is a sweet rod.

megabass levante rod

icast is july 11 where they announce new reels. i would wait for that first. maybe you'll see something you like.

i enjoy the beautiful st croix legend glass

i have the metanium. im deciding between the daiwa steez A and the bantam

they kinda seem like the same reel and the metanium can be had for $315 from japan. is it really worth it to get the bantam?

i used to use braid for cranking but i didnt like tearing up the fishes mouth

whats good about these reels?

i dont understand how it is more "powerful" if it is slower?

its very nice and seems like a good rod. they are in stock now at TW. i been waiting since may to use it which i did this evening.

It is the 7'2 medium version. definitely a lot more thicker and heavier then i expected. i never used a glass rod so i don't really know what to expect. The rod is beautiful thought. Nicest rod i own by far. 0-2 on fish on it though. which reel ratio should i use for it since its a cranking rod?? I currently have a 7:1 daiwa tatula type R on it.

just loosen your brakes

i bought 3 of them

longer the rod the better the distance. i like 7 foot medium. if u use alot of treble hook baits get a moderate action

i love my CT type R. its very enjoyable.

i've never taken apart a reel before like that.

what are u throwing? you should list more details also such as rod you are using and what line

does anyone who owns a MGL experience this? it doesnt seem to hurt the perfomance of the reel. it just sounds like a light grinding/rubbing noise when reeling the reel. kinda frustrating for a $325 reel. when i loosen the tension knob up a lot it seems to fix the issue but i would need to keep it very loose.
