Only my Trion-35 is from FFO - rest of my reels are from Amazon except the Pres-25 which was a gift from a member here. Rods are a mix of Amazon, TW and AL Quote

I wanted the Legalis, but found the Revros LT for a great price. The MP feels a little smoother. I haven't fished it much, but the little bit I did get to use it. Wow is all I can say. I will most likely be buying two more for the new rods on the way. 1 Quote

My options are: 1. Get another Tatula 150, 20lb fluro on the MH. 2. Tatula Elite on the Heavy, 20F on MH. 3. Tatula Elite Pitch and Flip on MH 20lb F, Tatula 150 on Heavy. 4. Any of the above but put 30/40lb braid on the 7'6" MH, allowing me to fish weeds with swim jig/chatterbait and throw the whopper plopper on this rod. Would sacrifice abrasion resistance in wood and rocks. 1 Quote
