Did y’all get a receipt in the tube with the rod or just printing the order confirmation from email for the rebate? I didn’t get one in the tube.

Any suggestions in the under $150 range? I don’t jb that often. Just a short window in the winter. So don’t need anything that expensive.

I try to stick with proven line. Power pro, 832.

Got my jackhammer ready to go for tournament tomorrow. Overrated my butt!

Dang, here I am thinking that’s light! Lol Mine will be here tomorrow! If It works out, it’ll be my 3/8 finesse jig rod. 16lb sunline bms. I have this rod also. It’s the only jerkbait rod I’ve ever used and you’re right. Big time noodle. I just thought that’s the way jb rods were supposed to be since I had no other experience. Makes me want to sell It to try something else. I always prefer more power.

I never had buyer’s remorse. I’m not the OP. I just bumped this old thread.

I just took my new Met out in the yard. Casts like a dream. No issues.

If it’s bass related three forums I frequent always pop up. I like the members at all of them.

Any time I want a review on anything - no matter the topic - I Google It and add “forum” To the search. Example: 20 Metanium forum, best cruise line forum That’s where you get the real scoop imo.

Inadvertent striper catch during bass tournament equaled dinner.

SV is exactly what I’m going with for my unplanned Rod purchases this week, one from midway. I ended up with 3 rods for one reel (Tat 150). I’ll swap the 150 between two rods as their techniques will never be used together. And the SV going on the third.

How about the week prior on Big O when the MLF tackle warehouse pro tournament was won on jackhammer and 8 of the top 10 threw It exclusively? I tend to believe the elites, fishing a week later of warming waters, were flipping more to spawn/bed fish where the week prior they were still more in prespawn chasing and eating heavily. Edit: I thought you meant the Elites who were doing more pitching. The MLF pro tourney on Big O was absolutely won with jackhammer. I watched every minute of that tournament.

You don’t think everyone and their mother throws spinnerbait and has for a lot longer than chatterbaits?

My tackle box is a boat.

Great reels!

Freaking striper destroyed my vision 110!

I know this is an old thread but I just got this reel. If I buy a $300 plus reel and then have to immediately have It professionally set up and tuned, that’s a problem to me.

First shimano! How would y’all set the internal and external brakes up on this reel for pitching? Also what’s preferred spool tension on these?

I have three tatula elite rods I bought for $180 in the past 1-2 years going for $90 now on close out every where. It happens with everything. I’m not mad about It.

I wasn’t even expecting It to ship until the 27th. When I ordered the website said they were closed for inventory and all orders would ship on the 27th. Then I got shipping notice next day!

How can you beat this shipping time from digitaka? Ordered 2/20.

I have a tournament this weekend on a 12000 acre lake. Water temps this morning are 48. Depending on time of day and area of the lake we will have some in winter mode and some in prespawn. Ill have the following on deck: MB vision 110 in chrome or white Luke Clausen 3/8 Finesse jig in green pumpkin or Alabama craw War eagle spinnerbait with gold willows Jackhammer in bruised green pumpkin And maybe a 1/2oz rattle trap in red or chrome If I can’t catch them on those then I suck lol

I don’t understand the problem. 50lb braid is pretty standard on a casting reel, especially for swimbaits. 50 braid to 12 leader is not a problem at all.

I would own Dobyns Colts or Furys and Falcon Lowriders only if I didn’t buy rods online without seeing them. Doesn’t bother me at all to order a rod from a proven company online.
