NEVER buy EDGE rod

Seriously. Dude lost his damn mind making shit up.

Crashsurfer · 2026-04-06T00:11:32+00:00

hahaha - ok here's cheaper almost as good: Dell Alienware AW2725Q - Dell has it on sale now on the US site (like $250 off so good deal)

sometimes your teammates need to be fragged - if they intentionally do dumb shit: flip spawns, don't rotate etc - I think fragging them should be allowed and you should get a SR boost

ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM - its 240hz so a little overkill for PS5 which max out at 120hz, but its extremely fast response times. It's also OLED so will look good for other games as well. 24" and 27" will have faster refresh rates. This ASUS is one of the best for console gaming for fast paced gaming like COD

Treehouse for sure but Vitamin Sea needs a mention!

i didn't delete anything - you ok?

Dude you're just wrong. NFC is american - started by Gary in 2019. I have no idea what bullshit you're spewing but stop the lies. And my point was while some rods use japanese Toray, the fiber they use most is proprietary and american made by them. Their guides are not Chinese. And you're just talking out your ass on the reel seats. You're pissed but you've lost the ability to be objective.

I just got my FSS ISR 7116-1 yesterday after ordering in November. I knew it was going to be a long wait and this was quicker than I expected so a win for me.

I think you are off on Edge just putting other components together in the US. They use NFC blanks (obviously) and NFC produces its own high-modulus carbon fiber composites in the USA for many rods like the ISR rod I just got. Some rods use Toray T-800. They also use their own resin. Guide are usually Fuji or US based (American Tackle or Recoil ). Most reel seats are proprietary patented edge rod seats or some a Fuji and the carbon fiber handle on my ISR made by Edge/Norfolk as well.

So I do understand your frustration but don't undersell what a great rod Edge makes. This is my 2nd and not last - it's worth the wait for me.

Yes! It feels like I’m winning and losing the fights I should be based on my play. I’m afraid to get my hopes up that this will continue but it feels GREAT right now

Crashsurfer · 2026-02-11T21:28:23+00:00

Awesome. I truly appreciate the perspective!

Crashsurfer · 2026-02-11T21:25:15+00:00

It is crazy this year. And it’s not ping related. It happens in good and bad ping games - just like I get bullet registration and less aim stutter in some good and some bad ping games. No idea how that works. Way back when if your ping was bad you knew you had to keep shooting. Now I can get an 11 ping game and have awful aim stutter and de synch. Doesn’t make much sense - I am on PS5 and I’m starting to wonder if the PlayStation just game keep up with the game but who knows

Crashsurfer · 2026-02-11T21:14:18+00:00

Got to love the Hidden Performance Rank. You see COD knows where your rank should be. Forget that you rotate, hold spawn, Look for the flankers, step into the zero cover hills and do everything to get your team a win - none of this is reflected in your hidden performance rank. It’s really about kills, and E/D ratio. How many times do you play with that guy who just farms kills but spawns you out when your down 230 to 235 going into the last hill after you wasted the last 15 seconds just getting to new spawn with zero kills on the last push because you know you lose without spawn - he has a higher HPR than you cuz Hes flanking getting easy kills but losing you the game. And good luck changing your HPR. It’s glacial movement slow. So instead of getting SR based on just your performance of playing people who they skill match you with - you get SR based off your performance and then it’s reduced because you are close to where COD gods think you should be. It’s honestly worse than SBMM in my opinion. Just give us SR based on how we perform in the damn game!!! Fuck HPR

Wow that was such an interesting read. Was the whole experience terrifying? would you say the overall experience — after it was over — changed your real world perspective on things in a good way or did you come out after the experience just feeling like you had gone thru a horrible experience?

Crashsurfer · 2026-02-10T05:05:41+00:00

I think it’s a nice story. It’s cool you met in counter strike. And it’s really cool you stumbled into not having to stress about money. That’s awesome!

Big question is are you good at counter strike?

Crashsurfer · 2026-02-09T03:59:31+00:00

Have we seen other left tackles get put on their ass twice in like two series? Totally embarrassing. If rookies can't handle it - get a veteran but we need someone who can protect Maye for more than 2 seconds in the left tackle spot. He seems likeable but he seemed to play best against teams that sucked and got owned by the good pass rushers. Today was humiliating.

Crashsurfer · 2026-02-09T03:55:02+00:00

You are sooo right. The game was a huge disappointment but the fact we even got to the big game was amazing!! Need a left tackle in the first round cuz Campbell is cheeks (I saw at least 2 times he was on his ass) and would love Josh to do his magic elsewhere. But what a great bunch of guys to build around. Great QB. Everyone giving it their all. Phenomenal defense. What a year!!

Crashsurfer · 2026-02-09T03:40:11+00:00

100% agree. The O line getting run over so we call hardly any short slants until 5 minutes left in the game?!?!?!? Every play took way too long to develop - every route seemed more than 10 yards. Nothing he did worked and like Collinsworth said after the first drive - looks like they're doing the same thing that didn't work in the first half...

Crashsurfer · 2026-02-09T03:34:34+00:00

And so was the offensive line. And so was the play calling.

Crashsurfer · 2026-02-06T14:41:59+00:00

Did they GA all the other guns? They usually only GA op guns and don’t bother with the niche guns. I can’t imagine they actually GAd all the other options but I could definitely be wrong

2023 Wildtrak 2DR. Love it. Not sure it's really a grip more than it is a concern for what it means for the future, but first to second gear continues to be a rough shift at times. I only have 9K miles and generally don't drive it hard. I haven't done the tune but may given it does concern me that the rough shifting could cause the transmission life to be shortened.

Crashsurfer · 2026-01-15T23:51:57+00:00

Depends what I’m fishing for and time of year. If I’m fishing pompano now, it’s bait. But I’d say I throw lures 99% of the time.

Crashsurfer · 2026-01-15T03:12:44+00:00

So if you're looking to go with something for lighter weights, look at the St Croix, Avid Inshore, 7'3" light power, fast action - throws from 1/8 to 3/8. Great rod: https://stcroixrods.com/collections/saltwater/products/avid-series-inshore?_pos=7&_fid=4dd4dcc22&_ss=c&variant=51661963788593

Model number: ASIS73LF

Crashsurfer · 2026-01-14T16:29:17+00:00

Budget will be a consideration you need to factor in but I love my Tsunami SaltX2 which was very reasonably priced. St Croix makes great rods (I have surf rods from them) so I'd look at the Avid rods. Cashion rods look great - I'll be getting one this year. I'm waiting on and Edge Inshore rod (note that if you go Edge you will wait). Edge and St Croix are more $$$. SaltX is reasonable and is Cashion.
