Love the reviews. I am really looking foward to getting a few Mojo rods in my hands. I have fished the St. Croix Mojo line for the last 2 years and love them. I deal with neopathy in my hands and it gets very painful fishing sometimes. I am hoping the new Trigon handle will help that alittle. Since I can't afford an $800.00+ rod I will give the new mojo a good shot. And I love my mojos.

Overall a good breakdown. Daiwa and Shimano are the only choice for reels imo. The new curado is a meh for me looks like they will get scratched up fast with the gloss. Just keeping the K’s I have. It would be really something if they went retro and released D’s or E series again. Just FYI , Daiwa didn’t get lighter with the new Tatula. Its construction definitely got stronger though.

I've got a request for a video or series of videos. I've gotten some decent gear so far and now I'm trying to upgrade the gear I have. Example is the 13 Fishing Defy rods I have are okay but I'd like to upgrade them with lighter and more sensitive brands/models. The Defy rods were cheap but I don't want to experiment with new rods by dropping $100 to see how they perform. I do my best to test how they feel in stores but do most of my shopping online. How about doing a video for best (lightest/most sensitive) rods $100-$150, $150-$200, etc.. I'll go back and rewatch your combo videos from this last year and see if I'm just forgetting info you've already given. Thanks.
@davidvanmaanen-icperch2797 Жыл бұрын
Hey mate, two footnotes: The new Curado M has also got a brand new drag washers that should be a hybrid form between felt and carbon and result in heavy spiking / more hooking power. Zodias and Expride got a Monocoque handle, Poison Adrena has got a Full Monocoque handle. Thats already a noticable difference. Curious whats different about the Ultima's handle.
@tacticalbassin Жыл бұрын
The entire structure of the Ultima's handle is different. It has 3 spines (each corner) instead of 1 so it's torsionally much stronger. Where all the existing monocoque handles are essentially a single rolled tube, this is multiple pieces overlapped to build the structure. And then I suspect shape has a lot to do with the vibration amplification though I am admittedly just an angler and some of that tech goes over my head.

You threw me on the Spro rod being too soft, too parabolic for braid but good for flouro. Braid has very little stretch ( much less than flouro) and that’s when you want a more forgiving rod. Mono can get by with the heavier rods. Braid, softer rods and flouro falls in between those two.
@tacticalbassin Жыл бұрын
To be clear... its not the braid, it's the style. Our style is HEAVY braid and DRAGGING those giants to the boat on stout gear. As opposed to the style of (relatively) light fluoro, parabolic rods to stay loaded up on a slower fight, and relying on steady pressure with light line to land swimbait fish. I hope that makes more sense.

@dustinwalker8152 11 ай бұрын
The new Aldebaran is a BFS specific reel and the only 2 Ultima baitcasting rods available on the US market are a 6'10" M and a 7' MH. You could use the Aldebaran BFS but would be severely limiting yourself with it over the Aldebaran 50. Personally, I have several Ultimas from Japan, and model dependant they have a mix of Aldebarans, Metaniums and Steezs on them. With the 2 US models, I'd go Aldebaran on both or Aldebaran on the 6'10"M and Metanium on the 7'MH.

Shimano needs to implement the G Loomis lifetime transferable warranty on that $900 Poison Ultima otherwise 👎🏻 but still glad to see TB put it to the test🙂

I added a M and MH Poison Ultima casting rods to cart but seeing as how I already have NRX+ and Conquests and the self admission that a Mojo Bass is probably the most rod my fishing requires, common sense took ahold of me before I clicked “pay now”. 😂

@@alfredcoates1422 I would go with the St. Croix Mojo Bass. The St. Croix Mojo has a 5 year warranty over Shimano Altenza 1 year. If you can I would try to get both in your hands to see which one feels best to you.

Love my BFS. Luckily I know people who work on JDM stuff. No way Im paying $200 more for the US version of the Aldebaran over ordering it from Japan.

We can't cover (or get our hands on) all of it, there's just too many launches at the same time. It looked really, really good in person! Hopefully we can test one in the coming weeks, if not we will cover it as soon as we do.

I wonder what will be the maximum weight reduction on these items before it backfires on performance . 🤔 There has to be a limit . still i love my glass rods much stronger anyway . Do not care about weight reduction at all to me its just a sales pitch to try and impress .
