New to this ste but regular on many others ...

the red and black ones are sick, which handle did you get the long one or the knob. I personally love the new round pwer knobs althony my son (gman jr) got an upgraded long power handle

The handle on mine it the regular handle. I would upgrade to the ATD power handle if they had it in matching color like the reel. I hope I'm as impressed with it as I am with my 270's

Paul that rod looks most impressive

Care to expand on what and how?

that is the JigMaster 500g blank, i have been posting about them for a while. they are a Specific designed JIGGING Blank. to be used with the jap style of jigging. and a capable of Really catching BIG fish, my only problem with them is they are to short(for me) . i am designing a 7' blank that will be close the the JM..only longer..coming soon

I recently got one of the red and black 665's. I have yet to try it out but can't wait to do so. I'm planning on using mine for cod jigging and tuna jigging

those red and black are nice.. i have the 197 ..but it doesnt fit the reelseat. i use..so it is sitting in the box (for now)

Anthony went with the ATD power handle, check with chark bait they may have one in red and black...

By the way they have a smitty day belt in the red and black it is just plain sickness. I ordered the black and silver one

Thanks I'll check chark bait out. Those black and silver ones look pretty cool also. I heard but I'm not too sure of it that accurate was going to come out with a blue and black series too.
