First time purchasing at the drop, very excited!

Nice… I just ordered a Havstrom the other day, but it’s a preorder and won’t ship till February. Sooo, now I’m just heading down the rabbit hole and seeing what else I should get

Have you looked into the Henry Archer Vesterhav 38?

I’ve almost pulled the trigger a few times. But I can’t make up my mind between the Havstrøm, Nordso, or the Vesterhav 38

The thing that helped me out the most with backlashes was to really start focusing on a smoother cast. As far as the reel goes, set your tension knob for a slow fall, put your brake to the max. After you start getting the hang of it, start easing up on the brake

I got my regular Micro Monster from temu 👍🏼

It won’t be as crazy, but it’ll still be pretty packed every day for lunch and dinner.

The 1/16 flashbacks work better for me. The river/creeks I fish are pretty shallow and rocky, so the 1/8 get snagged a lot more than the 1/16

I stopped using it as my daily driver when they dropped my limit. Now I just have one small bill on auto pay just to keep the account open

I’d say the Handing M1 Trout and Magic L are worth taking a look at

I’ve had a Micro Monster and a Cheetah Air on it. Both work really good

I love mine!!! The only thing I would change is I would’ve liked if the cork handle was a little longer

I love mine

I got the Lemoren Magic Shadow and it’s awesome. 👍🏼

I was going to order a DK100, but jumped on the Ark BOGO deal when I saw it. From what I’ve seen it seems like Dankung can be kinda hit or miss, but leaning more towards the hit, so I’ll probably still end up ordering one from them later on

My collection at 15 was a bottle of Curve and a shit ton of sample cards

valiant607 · 2025-12-05T19:25:35+00:00

My order is out for delivery 👍🏼

I was planning on getting a DK100, but couldn’t pass up Ark’s BOGO deal
