John G Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Well done on those John! Ever tried the Poison Ultima? Thank you! No. The Poison Ultima was supposed to be next on my buy list but I wanted to get the PG Multirole while Samurai Tackle had it in stock. I am now saving for a PG Hardbait Finesse or the Poison Ultima 162L-S and if a Hardbait Finesse doesn't turn up, then I will get the Ultima. The Hooligan has the PU 162L-S. Quote
John G Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Lotta nice shimanos on this page! Sweet rods all around too thehooligan how do you like those zpi knobs? I'm debating between those and some black avail wood knobs. Would love something with a similar shape but with EVA foam. I have a set of those knobs on the way from Shimreels and if I like them, I will be buying more. I hope they feel as good as they look. Quote

I am going back and forth on several rods to pair with an Alphas SV. I don't want a true BFS for but something that is versatile for lighter baits in the 1/8 to 3/8 is range. Considering a 2 powered NRX like the 802 or 842. I am early in the rod hunting process so I have some time... Quote

I am early in the rod hunting process so I have some time... The 802 is a sweet stick and would probably be just what you are looking for but I would not use a 3/8oz weight. When I had mine, I used a 1/4oz bullet weight + a smaller soft plastic like a Trick Worm or a 3/16oz Finesse Jig + trailer or an unweighted Super Fluke and they handled those weights with no issues.

thehooligan Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Aldebaran Mg7 and Poison Glorious combos. At the top is a PG164L Multirole and at the bottom is a PG168L Long Distance. Beautiful rods John !!. It's all down hill from here once you get into the jdm rod game... The pg's are awesome rods and I will always regret selling mine, lol. Quote

It was love at first sight when I opened the box and pulled it out. It is all down here from here. I thought that buying JDM reels was great but the JDM rods take it to a whole new level. 1 Quote
John G Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Not an expensive combo but they look great and I have not seen them anywhere but on Samurai Tackle's website. Fuji Premium Hookkeepers. Gold and Black and Gold. They also have silver. 2 Quote

Definitely, the pg was my first high end jdm rod over my cumulus & cumara's. I also remember how nice it was opening it up. The attention to detail is second to none. Only thing else is the Ultima, megabass, and evergreen... Quote

IAY Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 You guys are worried about putting Shimano on Megabass? Balance point 7 Quote
bass raider Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 You guys are worried about putting Shimano on Megabass? Balance point nooooo!!!! It's a wonder that the rod or reel hasn't self-destructed yet. Lol 1 Quote
John G Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Nice, I need one of those for the Ultima... I was thinking the same thing. Quote
