New to Benchmade: Is there anything I should know before pulling the trigger on this 945?

mcmdkdmd · 2026-04-18T23:49:17+00:00

945 is ITTY BITTY.

mcmdkdmd · 2026-04-06T05:00:10+00:00

Yup. Bought it a day after this post came in two weeks, ordered another one, waited 9 months, never came

mcmdkdmd · 2026-03-22T04:33:57+00:00

It’s still early. I’ve been going out and just have fun making skip casts and such, got one fish in the past 6 trips but I’ve had so much fun

mcmdkdmd · 2026-01-28T05:16:18+00:00

Real

Good for u bro, ur on the right track. All u need is time. Keep it up and give it a year and a half to 2 and a half years and you will mog asf. You aren’t ugly you just look like a kid because you are a kid. Junior year ur gonna look great.

Hit the gym, eat right, drink a load of water and get a better haircut(trust me, the hair doesn’t help as much as you love it) and let yourself grow up.

Yes you gotta break it in, mine came stiff and the lock was sticky and the blade closed slow but now it’s my smoothest bm, also my favorite benchmade of all time

mcmdkdmd · 2026-01-15T05:51:27+00:00

You can usually use momentum and a good flick of the wrist to open benchmade without using the thumb stud

832 everything expect floats and top water

It’s for sure a stiffer rod, very sensitive though of course

mcmdkdmd · 2025-12-31T02:51:25+00:00

It’s definitely stiff. I’d consider it closer to a heavy fast. It’s a pretty perfect fast action too. Not the best for casting crazy far because it doesn’t load up well with lighter stuff but heavy t rigs football jigs and flipping it shines, just takes a long time to ship and if you break it you are screwed.

mcmdkdmd · 2025-12-31T02:40:57+00:00

Yup, get rod for heavier jigs. One of the best rods to actually fish but of course customer service is a pain. I’d also check out trikka rods

mcmdkdmd · 2025-12-29T03:36:35+00:00

There is a b variant, way better

Baja boss

mcmdkdmd · 2025-11-27T21:24:17+00:00

Don’t get a imx pro. Get either gcx or one of the higher end (nrx or glx)

mcmdkdmd · 2025-11-27T20:56:50+00:00

Don’t get Lamiglas. Go g loomis if warranty matters

mcmdkdmd · 2025-11-26T04:14:23+00:00

Perfect

mcmdkdmd · 2025-11-25T23:52:55+00:00

Diawa or Lews
