Kuenro02 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Hey guys. Just ordered 2 new reels and now need to attach them to something. Anyone have opinions on the cabelas zx series? I also love fen wick. I have a fenwick silverhawk for jig/wormin. I'm looking at the HMG or HMX series, any opinions there? If not then I'm going to pick up 2 more silverhawks. Thanks guys! Almost 60 degrees today in Iowa, this hard water will be soft soon! Quote
Djman72 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Fenwick Fenwick Fenwick. I own a HMG and my buddy has an HMX. I also own a few silverhawks (which are great). Go to a retail store and check out the HMG/HMX and see which one you like. Quote
Kuenro02 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Ok just looking at the cabelas zx cause they are on sale:) will be at cabelas next weekend to get the feel of the HMG and HMX . Thanks djman Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 The HMG's are solid rods. Definitely consider them. Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted March 8, 2015 Super User Posted March 8, 2015 The HMG is more responsive and is a better rod than the HMX or the Silver Hawk. I have a 1st generation Vendetta and I believe the Silver Hawk is made on the same 30 ton blank because they both feel quite similar to me with the edge being the Silver Hawk feels a tad lighter but it is probably due to the better guides and reel seat. Trust me, I have Fenwick rods in the Elite Tech Smallmouth series, the Aetos series, and the HMG series. If you like the Silver Hawk then the HMG you will love, it is a much better rod in just about every category. Quote

Almost 60 degrees today in Iowa, this hard water will be soft soon! Just picked up a Cabela's Tournament ZX casting rod based upon how they scored in reviews. Haven't had it out on the water yet but it seems pretty solid so far. I've fondled the HMG in the store and they seem like a sweet rod too. Quote
Kuenro02 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Really appreciate the responses fellas. Great info! Can't wait to get a couple in hand and I'll let you know what I decide Quote
robster80 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 if the zx is still on sale thats a great rod Quote
fisherrw Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 The new phenix maxum sure looks like a good rod to me. Quote
BigBassinBuckeye Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I have the tournament zx crankbait rod and I love it. Very light and the Winn grip on it is very comfortable especially in the rain because it doesn't get slippery. Quote
