  1. IMO, the Bantam either the previous generation or the current is amongst the best designed bait casters ever... I haven't had one issue with any and I have about 30 of them. It handles heavy duty applications better than any other I have ever tried, I live in Florida: frogging, flipping, punching etc. 50-80lb braid. It handles straight flouro better than any other reel I have ever tried, worming with 15-20lb test, swimbaits 20lb test, throwing a lipless, throwing a small 1.5 squarebill on 15lb, cranking on 10-12lb. It handles better than reels that are more expensive such as a metanium, and better than cheaper reels such as a curado as you suggested. I used to have a mix match of a bunch of different reels and I switched them all to bantams, I still have a couple of Metaniums for Jerkbaiting because of the super light setups but eventually I'll replace those. I have no interest in replacing any of my bantams. I also have some Tranx 300's, Scorpion MD's and Antares MD's for straight "bigger" swimbaiting. But I will still throw smaller swimbaits like a chad shad on a bantam without any hesitation and do so often. I fish my tackle super hard year over year and they keep on kicking unlike any other I have tried. Oh finally I forgot to add, and I have confirmed and reconfirmed it, they help significantly with sensitivity. because they are a one-piece construction and not a composite material, they transfer sensitivity through your hand much better than others such as a Chronarch.
  2. The TK is gone. The RM South and the 2 right top TSG 9" are still available.

Looking to sell baits, only trades I would consider are for Hinkle Trout and 86 Baits Doomriders, maybe a Phoney shad or shiner in a shad pattern, might consider other high end baits but please don't text me a bunch of junk, I like high end baits and I like to buy them in new or like new condition.

  10. I have the latest LDC XXH and I really really like it. It's pretty parabolic and casts incredibly smooth, like the smoothest casting rod I own. Not sure why that is but it is. However, IMO it's not truly an XXH rod, it feels amazing with a Hinkle Shad 5oz bait, but if I throw the 86 Baits Andromeda 6.2oz bait, it feels slightly over taxed, it throws it but it's at the max of it's range IMO.
  11. Hey guys looking for a couple of high end rods for the following applications: 2-5oz glide baits 6-12oz glide baits I was looking at the following rods, what is your opinion on these specifically if you have casted them and/or owned them only please? TS78X Baccarat: 7'8" Ex-heavy, med-fast, 20-40lb, 4-10oz TS79X Hunting Weapon: 7'9" XX-Heavy, regular taper, 20-40lb, 4-20oz, TS82X Tenchijin: 8'2" XX Heavy, regular taper, 25-45lb, 6-25oz I'm leaning to to the Baccarat and the Tenchijin, the Baccarat for the lighter applications and the Tenchijin for the heavier stuff. Or would a TS77X Casino be better for the lighter baits I mentioned? I really want the heavier rod to be able to throw from a Deps 250 to a Mother or bigger easily and not be under powered. Also, do you guys know the difference between the Baccarat and the King of Baccarat?
  12. Are those the wraps with the x4 clear dividers?
  13. I caught a 7lber that looked like that recently. In a lake that every fish is super stout and healthy looking especially the big ones, she legit had the length of an 11-12lber. IMO when this happens they are at the end of their life and just emaciated or they have been eating people's discarded/lost plastic worms and they get a blockage in their digestive tract and can't absorb nutrients properly nor defecate and end up perishing.
