    own one that i use for must and chunking larger baits for smallies. flawless rods for the job. really liking the bend on a cast and the flex isn't too stiff nor soft.

    Nice rods .. Always liked the idea of multi piece rods . With the current Financial Situation looming in the United States / Arizona . I’m holding off on a lot of my toys and just putting $5.00 something gallon gas in my truck . 🤬 Great video and I like the
    way Ben presented the rods.

    This line is so sick. I have three right now and they are all worth it. They love to cast heavier baits in their ranges.
    I had the 6’1 XH out today tossing a Megadog. It was such a blast.
    Now I think I need the 7’11 XH.

      Hey man I’m very interested in the 6’1”. What’s your feed back on that rod. I heard it’s great for hard swim baits. That’s what I would like to use it for. What do you use that rod for and what is your thoughts on that rod. Thx

      @@juancanon1459Construction is awesome. I love the double footed guides. Handle length is long so the actual rod length is short which works but I think I want the 6'6" version to try before I get the 7'11. Short parallel cast are great. I have an Ant DC MD paired with it which is awesome so I can spool it if I want. I've noticed that this rod line really likes to be loaded up and casts amazing with heavier baits in their ranges. I've thrown the Megadog, Konosirus, i-Slide sized glides. I have a heavy chatterbait that I love on it. I'm waiting for my Combat Rat to arrive then I will be tossing that around. 8" Magdraft is great on it but I have to slow down too much on the reel for it to be fun. I'm going to pick up a K9 for this rod. It will throw the TK but I like the weight of the TK on the 6'5" MH which is amazing with the Osakana Slide.

    I bought a multi piece Legit Design Big Bait special, because these were not available at the time, I would probably rather have one of these... The piece don't "lock" together great, and it is way more powerful than I was expecting with it's lure rating. Good stick, but glide to see these, some day I'll have to get one

    I;m looking for a 4 piece travel rod for salt water. Mainly for tarpon off beaches, been using alot of NLBN swim baits like their mullets in5.5" to 8" with or without a weighted hook. I do not want a meat stick as i can land big fish fast on lighter gear. Looking for a rod more for distance casting. I am looking at Valkyrie as a 4 piece rod would be the best option for travel and can break down to 2 pieces when walking the beaches and flats with another rod in hand and one hung up on my back pack. I am debating over the heavy and xheavy. It will be paired up with a shimano scorpion 300xgmd.

      Salut, ils ont fait une vidéo qui s’intitule “the only 5 rods you will ever need to fish with again” si tu cherches les cannes les plus complètes. Après, plus particulièrement, si tu lances beaucoup les sleeper gill, dark sleeper et spinner bait, la canne Megabass destroyer P5 dark sleeper est la canne qu’il te faut. Chatterbait moins par contre car il te faudra une canne plus souple. Mais les NRX MBR pourraient peut être correspondre à tout ça, plus particulièrement la 904MBR.
