I may also try fishing them on an 1/8 oz Owner ultraround finesse jig head. i would also consider bed fishing it when it's on a jig head i feel a nose down would give a nice presentation to a fry guarder Quote
CTBassin860 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Lookie what I got.Returned the Curado 70 and grabbed the Tatula CT instead so I could use the rest of my gift card and BPS bonus points on a crank rod. 5 Quote
XzyluM Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 I ordered $200 worth of jigs and Rage plastics from the Siebert's sale. $150 worth of Seaguar and some other random stuff from the TW sale. A bunch of CRS bills from Academy I plan to try out this year and a couple packs of Lime Purple Passion Pit Boss. A new 8.3.1 Tournament Pro G from that auction site. A KastKing rod rack without the logos from the jungle. And I plan on picking up a 7'3" Duckett this weekend from Bass Pro Shop. The 2016 Lowe Stinger 175 I saw today, going to try and talk myself out of that one. 2 Quote

I have a tec spec black and love it and I was looking at getting a elite for a jig rod Yes i will. I haven't taken it out yet but will share my thoughts. Just holding it, i am wondering how it is so cheap...and what i am missing at this price point. I really want to know who made it for them.

stk Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 The MGL's are excellent. 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.

I needed a heavier rod for throwing these baits down in Mexico. The cover is heavier than here in South GA.  What do you use your's for? Quote

TxHawgs Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 @kickerfish1 Â Yeah I thought the DC, I have the 13 & 16 Mentaniums but the cap on the handle is silver on the new ones which made me ask which one this is but I'm pretty sure it is the DC. And my Chronarch comment was in regards to the members above talking about a new Chronarch MGL coming out. Was wondering where they heard or seen that and if there is any pic's of it out yet. Quote
LuckyHandsINC. Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Seems to me like it's the same reel, minus the red accents. With an MGL spool. 1 Quote
