(10) 2020 Shimano Metanium XG's

hmm...too frugal to spring for the Antares AR's..

The other answer would be that line capacity sucks on the Antares....

According to the Shimano Jp website, they both have 34mm x 19mm spools....maybe the Met USA version is different, but I doubt it.

I know I know. I don't like them myself but at times they have their purpose.

Caught my first fish on that rig this weekend. So it's broke in. Really like the new casting rods I built.

No worries glad you like the rig I remember once back in the day and many many many many many moons ago I used to use them but none the less just a friendly jab as I am one of the resident ding dings here

I havent used my shimano discount codes yet, but I won't be buying near that much stuff when I do. That's a stockpile. I used to be a guy who wanted all my stuff to match for a congruent lineup, so I can appreciate that.

how can I get a shimano discount code too?

[KP Duty]

These are codes from a shimano rep. We used to call them 'pro-staff' deals (even though you aren't actually a staffer), where you get a form to order 10 or 12 items at 50% off. Now days they give you a code to order directly from the manufacturers website. The shimano codes come 2 per flyer and you can order 6 items per code. 50% off rods...40 off reels. The harder to get daiwa code is 10 items at 50%.

Wicked lineup man wow! Those Metaniums are calling my name

[BRONZEBACK32]

How you liking the Metaniums??

[18RangerZ520L]

I though I had problems....

But those are good problems to have

[18RangerZ520L]

My counting could be wrong, but I think there is a rod without a partner. Next purchase?

Yeah, your counting is off. 19 rod/reel combos and they all have partners. No new purchases right now, but I did just get all 5 of my custom F5 swimbait rods....

[18RangerZ520L]

my goodness...that's like 20k worth of stuff

Well, I don't pay full retail sir.......

[18RangerZ520L]

Would you mind kindly listing out the models of your conquests?

(5) Calcutta Conquest 400A's
