Randy Price Posted September 23, 2024 Posted September 23, 2024 I'm going bass fishing in N. WI early next month and I'm having a hard time deciding what rod/reel combo to use for a variety of lures. I have a G. Loomis IMX-PRO 802 C TWR with a Metanium XG or a Shimano Zodias 70 MF with a Curado XG 70. I'll be throwing small spinner lures and wacky rigs.. What would you choose? Quote
Super User Bankc Posted September 23, 2024 Super User Posted September 23, 2024 I'd pick the Zodias since it's a fast vs. extra fast. But either would be fine. I doubt it would make one fish of a difference, either way. 1 Quote
GetFishorDieTryin Posted September 23, 2024 Posted September 23, 2024 I would probably put the Met on the Zodias and take that. Both rods are great, but the Zodias M is a probably more versatile IMO. 1 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted September 23, 2024 Super User Posted September 23, 2024 Probably the Zodias with the Metanium. Also, if that is braid on that Metanium, the toothy critters in WI will probably cut right through it. I would suggest a good leader material. 1 Quote
Randy Price Posted September 24, 2024 Author Posted September 24, 2024 @FishTank, yes I will be using a leader. Although I'm bass fishing up there I never know what is going to go after my bait. I caught my largest musky bass fishing using a #3 mepps bucktail. I looked at my Zodias and it's actually 72M. It's the A model not the B. 1 Quote
