Ok, the search continues. I have been fishing my Northfork HM705 and have to say that I have been greatly pleased, however I still need something with a bit more oomph while still maintaining the type of sensitivity that the 705 has.

I have it narrowed down to the following

HM709 Gen 2
Phenix K2 TX-715H-C
Point Blank PB731MHF or
Batson Eternity ETEC72MH-CB

What do you think? I need ya'lls opinion.

Thanks,
Tom

I'm curious to see feedback on this too. I've been eyeing up a MFC for some time and am ruinous how it stacks up to the others.

Ryan,

Thanks for the link. I have decided that once I return from our trip to Alaska I will simply order one of each of them and give them all a whirl. I am excited to see how they stack up against one another. These will all have the MVT seats on them and should be nice builds once completed.

Thanks,
Tom
