Mikey99 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Been waiting for 13 to make swimbait rods for a while. Hopefully they live up to expectations. I've had an Envy Black for a couple of years and love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA Frog Man Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I wish I needed another rod so I could try one out. Reel doesn't look too bad either. I've put my 13 rod thru hell froggin and it hasn't skipped a beat yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin721 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 my birthday is on the 21st so im hoping ill get a suprise in the form of a muse a couple of days after lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynem Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I do wonder how accurate the recommended lure weights are. Four of the 6 models have a MINIMUM recommended lure weight of 8 oz and one has a minimum weight of 14 oz. If those are accurate then this is an extremely heavy action line of rods. I mean the XXH description (14 to 22 oz) implies that a RM Mother is too light a bait for it. How many of you guys are using 14 to 22 oz baits with any regularity?

The actual ratings are on the 13 website and make much more sense haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlF Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I wonder if the 8' heavy will be able to throw lighter baits like 68s etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmftattoo Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'm super excited about these. 13 is an awesome company that really listens to customer feedback and applies it to their gear. I'm def gonna order one or more. And the swimbait reel looks pretty great also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
