The_Natural Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Not my house...not yet anyway. I can tell you right now the fit and finish of these rods will be superior to anything available for $199 (have you checked out the Steez rods?!) The Zillion is rolling off the same assembly line. Will the sensitivity hand with the Cumara? Don't know yet. Who's going to be the first to buy one? Quote
bassripper2000 Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Not me........ but I would sure like to get my hands on one of dem reel seats. Quote

The_Natural Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 Geez, will the madness ever end? So, does that mean you've already ordered one and it's old news? They say pimpin' ain't easy...shoot...try being a tackle junky! Quote
bass wrangler569 Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Not me........ but I would sure like to get my hands on one of dem reel seats. Amen. I'd love to put a g loomis blank on one of those real seats. Quote
fishbear Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Them is some right purty fishin poles right there. : Quote
wagn Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 when are they going to be available in stores? Quote
Chad. Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 I will be getting one ( i wish ) high speed steez on the flipping stick. Quote
ptomacbass Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 hyperspeed zillion and flippin stick for me. a steez doesn't work in salt water(magnesium) and the potomac is partially brackish. Quote
The_Natural Posted August 2, 2008 Author Posted August 2, 2008 when are they going to be available in stores? Check the link I posted above...they are available right now. Simmons Sporting goods seems to be the first to receive their order. Tackle Warehouse is scheduled to get their shipement 8/6. I've got to wait until Cabelas gets theirs before I get one...it just makes more sense being I live 2 miles away. Quote

bchlr Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 zillion > cumara? :-? :-? :-? the reel seat indeed looks nice Quote

They say pimpin' ain't easy...shoot...try being a tackle junky! Nah, haven't ordered one. I'm on a bit of a Kistler kick now. Kistler . I'm glad Kistler finally switched to the Fuji reel seat and for '09 ditched the Batson Zirconium guides in favor of Fuji ceramics, but I still think the whole line is overpriced. I do praise them for their plans to roll their own blanks here in Texas...that gets bonus points. However..I've owned two Kistlers (crankbait composites), and kudos to Tackle Warehouse for taking them back. The price versus what I got didn't jibe. I generally respect everyone's rod choice, with the only tangible attribute being the components. With your jig and worm rods already decided and on-deck...it's a blast to shop in the ultra competitive middle rod market for my spinnerbait, chatterbait, fluke, etc. rods to do my 'dirty' work.

wisturkeyhunter Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Its awful tempting to buy it now on that 7 foot mh. Quote

Super User Redlinerobert Posted August 2, 2008 Super User Posted August 2, 2008 The rods are really nice guys. I'd say comparable to the Steez line for alot less. Quote

Amen Natural, probably the most fun I have tackle shopping. This is where I go for the bling. Although, one couldn't pry the boring old ho-hum BCR's from my cold dead hands. Quote
Chad. Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Now I want one of these REAL bad. Pimpin ain't easy was that tupac? Quote

The_Natural Posted August 4, 2008 Author Posted August 4, 2008 Now I want one of these REAL bad. Pimpin ain't easy was that tupac? I thought it was Ice-T. It's become a mainstay in rap culture; I'm not sure who originated it, but ICE-T sounds about right. From 'Cop Killer' to an actor on 'Law and Order'...pretty crazy. I've heard tupac say it before?

Chad. Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 I was listening to a song last night and biggie said it too? Quote
wisturkeyhunter Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 *** has them on there site now. Anyone have one in there hands yet. Quote
