MoBassRaider Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Big brown truck just dropped off some new fishing gear for me. Shimano Stradic CI4+ 3000 *** *** 6.6:1 G. Loomis E6X MH/F 7’ If the temp gets above freezing this week I’ll go out and give these a whirl and report back. Quote
Hulkster Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Very nice! I have the E6X MH MBR 843 as well and I really like it. some people don't like the E6X's but many do. I have two of them. (have a spinning rod as well) congrats! 1 Quote
LionHeart Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Would be really miserable to have that 'red bait casting reel' and not be able to fish it. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted January 19, 2018 Super User Posted January 19, 2018 Congratulations! Nice. Hopefully your temps are higher than ours. Been in the single digits several days. Warmest (except for one day) in the past few weeks has been in the low 20s. A day or two of warm weather isn't going to do much for me. I took advantage of TW's 25 Days of Christmas and spent way more than I should have on myself. Got a Procyon EX, SV103 and two ALX rods...Deputy and Toadface. Sucks not being able to use your new toys for a few months. Quote
TylerT123 Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Is the Z as smooth as a reel with ball bearings? Quote
Super User Darren. Posted January 20, 2018 Super User Posted January 20, 2018 All about that Stradic! Great reels. Though I'd only use a 3000 for saltwater . For me it's 1000 for bass! Quote

Super User Boomstick Posted January 23, 2018 Super User Posted January 23, 2018 Nice! The Gloomis E6X ML rods is one of the rods I am considering for drop shotting myself (My dream rod is the GLX series, but that'll put a huge dent into the boat fund). Quote

As for line loops, there are some, mostly around rod tips, but nothing too unusual, IMO. With the braided mainline, management is a breeze for the most part. 1 Quote

punch Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I'm so going to buy a pair of those polymer bearings to slap in my white reel. Just to try it. Heard they are going to be around 30-40 bucks? Quote
