I have a Meiser 13045MKX & have had it for just over a year. When I’ve taken it out I have been struggling with head grain weights, I just couldn’t find the exact combination that I liked. I also have a Meiser 11724C that almost casts itself, it’s effortless & that’s what I wanted out of the MKX. So the other day I put on a 300 Gr. Scandi Spey Lite, thinking would way be too light & wow, it’s a cannon, it just flew. It was a different experience, a different feeling, It’s like where have you been hiding! I wasn’t going to give up on it, It took a lot of time, buying selling heads, talking to & pm’d many people, but all worth it. I was told it was the finest, best casting rod I’ll ever own & I have to agree. Also more trout in the last couple of days than in the last year, good casts catch fish.
