It's absolutely sick. Can bomb a Deps 250 and fish both a treble or softbaits well. I highly recommend it.

My three main rods. • Conquest 905c + Met B MGL HG • Nameless 746 Adventure + Antares DC MD • Cotter Rodworks NFC SWB808 + Tatula 300H

I replaced my Antares DC MD 2018's spool bearings with Hedgehog Studio ZHi bearings 2 years ago once my stock bearings started screeching up. Haven't had any issues since. Service it once every 2-3 months religiously though.

Whoops. Forgot measuring board photo of the smallmouth.

Did my yearly Christmas fishing trip. 2021, caught my first swimbait catches ever. A 3.5 smallmouth, 9 and 10 pound striper. This year got a 10 pound striper and 4 pound smallmouth. Caught on the TiK in Joythief color with shallow lip, mode A, 1 gram lead strip to suspend. Worked out perfectly. I have bent out 5 STX-45 size 2 hooks this month on stripers. Strangely the ST-35, 180 degree stock hooks on my TiK didn’t today. Included all the stripers I’ve caught this month too, including my new 13 pound PB (3rd photo). Those were all on the KGB 7” and 9” TSG’s.

In, Merry Christmas to everyone on SBUG!!

Anyone else order a rod from Nick and it took way longer than what he quoted? I'm at 1 year now. Just want reinsurance I bought a custom from a trustworthy builder. Was originally told 3 months, but this is getting kinda ridiculous.

Battleshad 6 as well as Citizen 6 = Loomis Conquest 905c Battleshad 7.5, Citizen 7 = NFC SWB 807 or Nameless 746 Adventure.

I've had my 2018 Antares DC MD for 2 years now and have fished it heavily, still smooth. I also religiously service my reels once a month myself, but that really isn't needed, just twice a year will do.

The Daily by Leviathan. I fished with it exclusively on my Thailand trip. Handled 45 pound fish well, was throwing 1 ounce Deps Huge Buzzbaits and up to Deps 250. Fit perfectly in the overhead bin of an airliner, didn't have any problems going on a flight on Korean Air.

Been wanting a KGB bait for awhile. Was lucky enough to score a 7” and 9” TSG this week. They’re awesome baits.

Fish I caught in Thailand. 7 pound toman on the Toxic Whippersnapper, 40 pound Mekong on the UFO 6” Wake, 45 pound Mekong on DRT Joker, and two 4 pound barramundis on the DRT TiK and Toxic Wade Hoggs.

I use a Loomis 905c Conquest.

My arsenal for Thailand.
