Super User Redlinerobert Posted May 29, 2008 Super User Posted May 29, 2008 Wow. These guys at Megabass are nuts. The rods they put together are nothing short of works of art. This Shihru is no exception. I can't wait to break it in this weekend! Spiral wrapped fiberglass rod with the most incredible details. The reel is no slouch either, Calcutta DC with a drag upgrade and incoming Bassart carbon 90mm handle. That should be here by Friday. I'm going to spool it with 12lb flouro and use it primarily with 1/2 oz crankbaits. Quote
Super User Micro Posted May 29, 2008 Super User Posted May 29, 2008 Sweet! Nice looking rig. I'd be afraid to fish with it. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted May 29, 2008 Author Super User Posted May 29, 2008 Nah. My stuff gets used. Nicks and scuffs add charachter. Quote
Super User Micro Posted May 29, 2008 Super User Posted May 29, 2008 Nah. My stuff gets used. Nicks and scuffs add charachter. If that were mine, it would have saliva marks on it 'cuz I couldn't stop licking it. ;D I can't even bring myself to buy a GLX because I'm afraid I won't enjoy it becasue I'd baby it. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted May 29, 2008 Super User Posted May 29, 2008 That is one amazing setup..... Quote
Jake P Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Very nice setup Robert! I LOVE the gold, it matches so well with the Calcutta. Nah. My stuff gets used. Nicks and scuffs add charachter. If that were mine, it would have saliva marks on it 'cuz I couldn't stop licking it. ;D I can't even bring myself to buy a GLX because I'm afraid I won't enjoy it becasue I'd baby it. Pffft, i could never buy a 300+$ rod because it would never get fished. I baby my Crucials and those are only 140$ Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted May 29, 2008 Super User Posted May 29, 2008 A beautiful match. Congrats. Let us know what you think after she's been on the water. Now if only the domestic DC came in a 101. Quote
Super User islandbass Posted May 29, 2008 Super User Posted May 29, 2008 Wow, that is the pinnacle of beauty. Quote
Super User Alpster Posted May 29, 2008 Super User Posted May 29, 2008 Robert, My 200DC is mounted on a spiral fiberglass custom (Lamiglas blank) I built myself. You will love fishing with it, no doubt about it! Congrats on a beautiful setup. Ronnie Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted May 29, 2008 Author Super User Posted May 29, 2008 Thanks for the compliments guys, this rod feels fantastic, cant wait to load it up Saturday! Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Nah. My stuff gets used. Nicks and scuffs add charachter. I'll vouch for that,lol,....While I'm here, I guess I can also vouch for some of those nicks and scratches too,lol. Robert is no mizer with his luxury gear, he'll let any of his guests use the good stuff. Nothing worse than someone who buys all the good stuff but is afraid to use it or cries if it gets scratched, Robert knows those marks just add Karma and character. Looking forward to trying that one now too,lol. Quote
flippin4it. Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Give us a detailed review..............so I will know what it's like to fish with high end stuff. Kistler Helium is about as high as I go. Quote
