Gazz Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 With a little help from another member, I finally completed my finesse rod upgrade after weeks of annoying everyone with questions. I just had to share as I am blown away by how truly mint this thing is. I have some nice high end baitcasters but I’ve been riding my Lew’s Mach II spinning combo til the wheels fall off. It has done its job but it was time for an upgrade. I know the step up was more of a leap up in quality so I should have expected a big difference but this thing just feels unbelievable and looks d**n pretty on top of that. Stradic Ci4+ 2500 + Megabass Destroyer Addermine. ? 15 Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted June 9, 2020 Super User Posted June 9, 2020 Doesn't get much better than that. Quote
walleyecrazy Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 Nice setup for sure! The difference between the Shimano and Daiwa spinning reels and the rest of the companies is pretty amazing. I hate using any of my older ones from other companies since making the switch. Quote
Gazz Posted June 9, 2020 Author Posted June 9, 2020 Thanks! The Lew’s has done well for me. It is actually a real smooth tank of a real as it’s all metal but it is quite a bit heavier and bulkier. This rig feels like I’m almost holding nothing in my hands. 1 Quote
Scrapiron Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 I’ve had that combo and enjoyed it. Quality right there. Congrats! Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted June 9, 2020 Super User Posted June 9, 2020 O.M.G.!!! Quantum leap. Nice. Nice. Nice. Congrats. 1 Quote
NOC 1 Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 You're not lying on either account. It is a huge leap up and it is beautiful to look at. Now you're probably going to hate all your cheaper gear. 3 Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted June 10, 2020 Super User Posted June 10, 2020 Awesome combo! Workhorse of a reel and the addermine is a great versatile rod. Quote

I’m sure I’ll find a justification to add even better gear at some point. 1 Quote
