Sea guide also offers titanium framed tangle free style as well. Have a couple sets and they aren’t bad for what they cost

I can cast 1/16 crappie jigs with little plastics,On the aldebaran, however it doesn’t handle them well without a lot of fineggling and dialing in. The plastic white brakes seem to be a lot more fussy than the brakes on my curado 71. If I can cast it 60ft in real world conditions...I am ok with that. If I have to mess with it, and keep adjusting, then it takes away some. Also my main issue w

Follow up ended up building the K2 713 and it turned out a little stiffer than was implied on paper. I think it’s more of a ML 6-12 1/8-3/8 as it didn’t load too well to cast the 1/16 crappie jig with tiny Shad trailer. Tried it with my aldebaran 15mg7 that has hedgehog bfs bearings, and it was okay with Ned rigs, little too powerful for my liking. Did end up catching personal best Smallie of

Yes, sometimes I will be throwing the Ned jig 1/8oz on the upper end and id like to be able to throw down to 1/16+ tiny trailer for crappie and panfish and turn around and throw the Ned rig or 1/16 oz trig with the likes of the zoom tiny brush hog or 1/16oz finesse bass jig. 6-8lb leaders only because where I fish has tons of chunk rock and boulders and brush and timber. The other day my dad an

I have a Rx6 medium 7ft, and a RX7 Light 7ft and revelation ML all inshore popping. I’d recommend the Revelation because I liked the faster tip on the 6-12lb rod I use for inshore and also making a great Ned rig for my dad. I put the Rx6 strictly on popping cork duties now.

That part I do understand. Trying to feel out some input on any of the blanks or any others I haven’t seen online that would fit in nicely. Normally, I would just get up and drive the 3hrs to FTU in Texas and feel up some rods they have there, but in the current state I’m not going to risk that drive. Their selection was mostly their ftu in house blanks, a couple Phenix blanks, rainshadow blan

Looking for some help in choosing a blank for the next build. Currently using a Rainshadow Revelation 68lf 4-10 1/16-5/16. Aldebaran 15 with hedgehog bfs bearings. Distance is decent, but I know I will need a 6’10 to 7’1 blank on the next build. My problem is that I only have had access to a Phenix k2 682c. Always wanted to build a k2 blank, however I’m asking for suggestions as I do not ha
