Super User F14A-B Posted November 22, 2014 Super User Posted November 22, 2014 Edge Black Widow 705. Have one and nothing else compares. How's the details on that rod? Handle? Quote
Super User OkobojiEagle Posted November 22, 2014 Super User Posted November 22, 2014 Custom built... oe Quote
Super User Darren. Posted November 22, 2014 Super User Posted November 22, 2014 Heck if I know. Based on looks and such, I'd maybe opt for a St. Croix Legend Elite or maybe a JDM rod. Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted November 23, 2014 Super User Posted November 23, 2014 How's the details on that rod? Handle? It's just beautifully simple. There's no real bling or anything, but the build quality rivals my high end customs. It's just a fishing machine. It's the most sensitive rod in my stable, but the thing I love most is the balance. I've had a Steez, CI4+, Tatula, Curado, etc. and they all balance right under the nose of the reel. The handle is a beautiful woven carbon. It's smooth and can get a bit hot in the sun, but it doesn't slip at all when wet and it's easy to keep clean. 4 Quote

Thanks for the user feedback, been contemplating this for awhile, handle looks wicked cool. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 23, 2014 Super User Posted November 23, 2014 Of the rods I own it would be the G. Loomis GLX MBR852C or BCR893. Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted November 23, 2014 Super User Posted November 23, 2014 I use the NRX 853, I find it amazing. Quote

Super User Jeff H Posted November 24, 2014 Super User Posted November 24, 2014 I use a cork handle Shimano Crucial CRCX610MH. If I needed anything more I'd like a custom built on a St. Croix blank. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted November 24, 2014 Super User Posted November 24, 2014 I have three rods that I use for jigs: G.Loomis NRX 854C, G.Looomis GLX MBR844C, and a Powell Timax 734 HCF. All are excellent, but I give a slight edge to the Timax. Quote
