Ss 663 however due to some confusion on the boca order and me not paying attention I do have 6 lightning abec 5s in this. 2 each handle 2 level wind. Making this my dedicated Sammy/Fluke Rod I like bocas but man their site can be confusing. That type r is super solid. Kind of wish I kept it instead of selling it. I replaced it with a exsence DC for my frog reel. 4 Quote

stk Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I've got the fury 795 as well, I like the rod but I'm not sure what to expect when I'm throwing 3oz lures. I feel like it casts ok, maybe I just need to get used to it. I'm interested in what you think about that rod. Also, nice pick up on the tatula HD. Quote

This combo was more of a novelty. As state tourneys can't throw the a rig. Only time I may use it is in club tourneys, get a limit then hunt for a kicker with a swimbait. Just getting my feet wet with swimbaits myself. Days I go fun fishing I'll be throwing it mostly. While I'm at it ... 1 Quote

Cyacnba Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 My first DC reel ever on my first G. Loomis rod. The Exsence DC is definitely heavy, but it feels like a tank. I'm still debating whether I keep it or sell it to get a Met DC instead. I think it would work great in my next trip to Argentina 7 Quote

Super User rippin-lips Posted April 7, 2016 Super User Posted April 7, 2016 Now on its new permanent home. Orochi XX Perfect Pitch Balance is very good for a rod of its power rating. 8 Quote

Ordered 5 to hold me over until the 16 Met LH comes out. But my question is where did you get the green NRX? Looks like u got the MH, what length did u get it in? Mine should all be here within this coming wk I can't wait. Quote
