@@johncoopes1056 I have looked at those a number of times. I really like the new version over the old. I just wish the hook keeper wasn’t below the reel because that’s where I grab the rods to get them out of my rod locker. I might still try one as my next rod though. Everyone seems to like them
I’m still testing it out but it is a nice rod. I’ll have to see if it stands out as my favorite to use or if I prefer something else. So far it feels like you get what you pay for.
They're not worth $300. However, I'm a vet so I've talked them into giving me a veteran discount. It's a very nice rod. I have the 7'3" MH casting rod. The first fish I've caught on my Trika was a 15lb catfish. I thought the rod was going to snap but it hung in there for deal life.
I don't know for sure. Originally they said made in USA but then I think they changed it to built in USA because some parts were from China? I may be wrong, you'd have to research it yourself.
Hope you have nice holiday with the family.
Thanks! Hope you and your family do as well.
Shimano Expride are very nice and very sensitive for the same price range

@@geezersbassin2567 i have 4 of the old models and for that price point they are by far the most sensitive.
How was that trika rod? I e seen them lately. They look nice. Pricy tho. Is it worth it?

Are they as nice as Dobyns ?
I’ve never used a Dobyns so I can’t help you there, sorry.
No experienced spin fisherman closes the bail by cranking
OK
Made in USA or China?
