I got mine back in August and it was easily the lightest and smoothest reel I have. I upgraded the bearings to the SiC bearings and casting is effortless. I have a chronarch ci4+ that the MGL replaced, I'm not sure I need to try the Chronarch MGL. Couple of my purchases during the winter in N. IL. It's hard on the wallet... that Z limited is absolutely sick i would love to have one of those but man that price is steep 3 Quote

It has been on my list of reels for a while and one popped up. Pretty sweet condition and I really enjoy my Exsence DC. There's a video of a casting comparison between the met MGL, met DC and I think the 2013 met. Kind of surprising where it ended up. Pretty cool none the less. Bah, I can't find the video, but the met DC ended up casting the furthest with 2/3 baits (weightless worm, swimbait and crankbait). 1 hour ago, Scarborough817 said: that Z limited is absolutely sick i would love to have one of those but man that price is steep @Scarborough817 Thanks! Yeah I was on the look out for the older model Z2020 and they rarely if ever come up for sale. I kinda wish this one had a slower gear ratio as I'd probably have more uses for it. I am not sure if anyone has tried it yet but swapping gears from the older z2020 6.4:1 into the new body and see if it works. This reel has a great matte finish and I would imagine if Darth Vader was into bass fishing, this would be his reel...:) 1 Quote

ljd1971 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I recently scored some LC Pointers at half off. Never have tried them before. Are the hooks in the "immediately replace" category? You wouldn't think so on a bait that retails at $15. Quote

I would say no, especially if your not tournament fishing but that will be a decision u need to make once u receive them. Where did u score them half price from I'd like to pick some up. Thanks 1 Quote
Oklahoma Mike Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I don't feel the need to replace the trebles on any of my LC baits. 2 Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted January 25, 2017 Super User Posted January 25, 2017 A few more things i bit on this week.... (3) vision 110's (M Shad, Gingira Wakasagi, PM Threadfin Shad) wacky/Ned head assortments with owner hooks Ima squarebill/jackall aska which i acquired in a larger trade 7 Quote
Super User RoLo Posted January 25, 2017 Super User Posted January 25, 2017 You know you are finally catching-up when your tackle order consists only of Hooks & Sinker-Stops. My last order was "6th Sense Sinker Stops" and "Mustad 4/0 Grip-Pin Flippin Hooks" PATHETIC! Roger 2 Quote
