Fat-G Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Jig combo Custom Revo Premier Fully polished internals, all bearings upgraded to ABEC 7's, drag, etc. Blue/Purple shifting paint on the frame, gloss black sideplates. Took a couple of parts out of the cast control cap so now there is zero spool tension. This thing is buttery smooth and pitches a MILE. Sunline FX2 60# Dobyns Champion Extreme DX745-FH. The absolute perfect jig rod! Sensitivity is out of this world and balances perfectly. Perfect action for the way I fish jigs. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted November 16, 2011 Super User Posted November 16, 2011 Pretty sweet. Can't wait to see phase 2 Jeff Quote

ChiCityBasser Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Nice looking setup kinda looks like the energy reel from a couple years ago Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted November 16, 2011 Super User Posted November 16, 2011 Poor Hayden is going over to the dark side at such an early age - destined to be a victim forevermore of the rare species of "bait monkey exoticus." Very cool rig though...enjoy! Quote

Very cool rig though... I really wanna get my hands on an Alphas Type R soon. Also, a Steez 100HA, Zillion PE, and an SPR. Hopefully soon! Quote
Super User Shane J Posted November 16, 2011 Super User Posted November 16, 2011 That's nice, man, I bet it's like silk. Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Very pretty Major, very pretty......but can they fight? Quote
Fat-G Posted November 17, 2011 Author Posted November 17, 2011 Very pretty Major, very pretty......but can they fight? They were scheduled for a bout in the ring today until I slammed my Accord into the back of a Jeep. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted November 17, 2011 Super User Posted November 17, 2011 That combo is hot. Like Carrie Underwood hot. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted November 17, 2011 Super User Posted November 17, 2011 That combo is hot. Like Carrie Underwood hot. Let's not get crazy now. Even at my age I'll give the edge to Carrie. Good looking outfit G. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted November 17, 2011 Super User Posted November 17, 2011 745 is a very, very nice rod. Not a terrible reel, either, for that matter. I'd throw a Metanium MG on it if it were mine, though. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted November 17, 2011 Super User Posted November 17, 2011 Hopefully you can find a nice looking satchel that matches to carry your lures. But really, nice rig. Get it now, when you get a boat, there's no money left for nice gear. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Looks like a fun project. I'm not sure I'd have removed the spool tension parts when you can just back the cap off. Keep those parts. I just ordered a replacement cap and spacers for a customer and it cost $15 with shipping. Quote
hookingem Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 You lucky dawgg! That things looks like a beast nice set-up! Quote

I knew you would say something about the reel, LOL. I'm pretty impressed with it myself, as well. From what I understand it's basically an upgraded Lew's TP, and very similar to the Patriarch XT. I'm not sold on the handle, which will be replaced with a 4BB one complete with corks very soon. I was more concerned with the rod and getting the "perfect" jig rod for me, and I did! Quote
JIGFISHERMAN. Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Pretty nice setup. If you don't mind, I'm curious did you do the work to the reel yourself or have someone else do it? Quote

pitchinthejig Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 i love my Zillion PEs i have two one in the display and one in use, i love the faster level wind so i have changed a few Zillions with it, if you own a zillion and fish braid on it order those parts and swap it out it makes a big difference. imho the hottest zillion made was the HLC i have 4 of them only use two once you behold that reel and a Deps zillion you are truly in the dark side.
