Location: Land of the Musky | For those who want to touch and see my rods I just got the confirmation they will be in the Kevin Cochran Musky Fishing Guide booth. $110/rod no matter which rod you want. My website says I am out of the 9'XH but I do have a few left and Kevin will have some in his booth along with all of the other lengths and powers. Hope you like them! If you can not get to the show let me know and I will get you one delivered for $110. [email protected]

Guys, if you are in the market for a new rod I strongly suggest checking out the Tackle Industries rods. I just received mine from James last week and it is a phenomenal rod. It has a thicker handle which is a lot more comfortable than other rods I have used, and it also comes with 2 handle lengths which is another great feature. Plus James is a great guy to deal with! Check them out, you won't be disappointed.

Location: Kentucky | I second what Eric said. I picked up the 1-6oz rod about 3 weeks back and had my first chance to use it this past weekend. It is exactly what I was after and the wide grip handle is extremely comfortable. Thanks for a great product and incredibly fast shipping.

Location: Land of the Musky | You bet guys! Kevina Cochran will have about 20 rods in his booth and the Top Predator" booth will also have a few rods and a small selection of my lures too. Always nice to touch before you buy.
Thanks,
James

Location: Land of the Musky | Thanks shaley! That is the whole reason why I did not patent the method/materials I had the blanks made! I don't want anyone to know what I did  I still could not shave off that last oz or two or weight and get them to a St. Croix weight but I am really close! Weight/strength/flexibility is a touchy thing in a blank to balance but the fiber and glue I use is key. Lures are a lot more easy to make and not as expensive when you screw up prototypes. ha ha Thanks for the good word! Wait until you see my next rod model. Still working on it but I hope it works out well.

Another positive comment for James and his Tackle Industries rods. I bought two of them from him in the last month and they're amazing. I've been practicing with them for the last couple of weeks now and they're great. Very lightweight... well balanced... and paired up with my Revo Toros, I can't think of any other combo in this price range I'd rather be using. |

| Good to hear you'll be at the show. I'm bringing a friend just getting into muskie fishing, and plan on getting him into a couple of these rods. |

| How does the XH handle throwing "Pounders"? I would consider the MegaHeavy, but would guess it would be too much of a niche setup - tough to justify if that is the case. I usually throw MagDawg sized swim baits, but also throw pounders depending on the lake/time of year.
Thanks |

I thow the big curlie sues on my 9' XH and works great, similar in weight to the pounders. I did pick up some shallow ponders to use on my XH this year. |

| Guys,
I have to agree with what Eric, itallushrt & Shaley have relayed. I purchased lures from him last year and this year purchased the 8.5'/9' XH. It is as well built a rod as those that cost much more. Great attention to detail James. |

| Picked up an XH at the show today - very impressed with the rod for the money. Light, not tip heavy for the length, balanced very nicely with a Calcutta reel. Tough to to wrong at $110, sick price for this rod. Haven't casted anything with it yet, but based on the reviews I'm sure I'll be very happy. Purchased the rod Kevin Cochran - he was very helpful.
Thanks all for the helpful advice! |
