Super User buzzed bait Posted October 9, 2015 Super User Posted October 9, 2015 i broke a gen 1 *** casting rod i had like a moron.... went through the oops replacement and got a different spec ***, but was gen 2 for $50. not a bad deal for me. rod components and everything are a step up from gen 1, full cork handle is nice. BUT, whoever put these guides on was still drunk from the night before. they wobble back and forth like me on some crown and sprites. i mean not terribly bad, but noticeable for sure. anyhow, had to fish it last night and managed a tiny guy in this dumpster looking overflow at some apartment complex near my house. *** black 7'1"MH lew's TP 7.1:1 big game mono 15lb war eagle spinnerbait 2 Quote
thehooligan Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 My first Megabass, F2-60X Criffhanger. Very nice 1 Quote
John G Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Very nice Thank you Matt. It should work fine for throwing finesse jigs into tight spots. I met the owner of Ultraskiff this morning and I found out that we live in the same town. You know him? Quote
thehooligan Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Pretty sure we grew up in the same town in jersey. Quote
John G Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Pretty sure we grew up in the same town in jersey. I asked and he is from New Jersey. Small world. LOL 1 Quote
dwong Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Quick question for you guys with the slim ZPI knobs. Do they come with end caps? Quote
hzzhangc Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Quick question for you guys with the slim ZPI knobs. Do they come with end caps? They come with same color screwed end caps. 1 Quote
John G Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 These knobs fit both Daiwa and Shimano and they are not uncomfortable at all. The thinner plastic piece is for a Shimano handle and the thicker plastic piece is for a Daiwa handle. Quote
thehooligan Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I have a like new pair of orange slim zpi knobs if anyone is interested. Pm me. Quote

hzzhangc Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 First cast of the day& first victim of the metanium DC. 5 Quote
thehooligan Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Nice one ^ I'd love to get my hands on a met DC... Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted October 12, 2015 Super User Posted October 12, 2015 Nice looking victim! What your impressions of the Met DC to say other DC reels or even the standard 13 Met? Quote
hzzhangc Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Nice looking victim! What your impressions of the Met DC to say other DC reels or even the standard 13 Met? I think the DC is a cool feature especially for the whine. The XG ratio makes it a nice frog/jig reel. However I rarely fishing frogs and I dont think DC shines for jig application. If let me choose again I may get a low gear ratio, which may see more long casting use or the standard Met plus the yumeya BFS spool. The later one would be the best of both worlds. Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted October 12, 2015 Super User Posted October 12, 2015 Thanks for the reply. I may just get a second Exscence DC. I have yet to find a reel that I like more. 3 Quote
Diggy Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 This thread is giving me withdrawals. Haven't fished in 6 weeks and I cant reasonably justify buying any fishing equipment because of my schedule. I hope black Friday slaps some sense back into me. Quote

Haven't fished in 6 weeks and I cant reasonably justify buying any fishing equipment because of my schedule. I hope black Friday slaps some sense back into me. I hadn't purchased a fishing related product in close to 3 months. Last night I spent a bit of coin on something I have been wanting for a long time. I had a lot of anxiety about spending the $$$ but now I'm excited it's on it's way. Like nike says "just do it". 1 Quote
