Mackkie, your still gonna be pleased?

O.K., before Jim Reeves starts wooing us , one of the spinning reels I've been using is the Daiwa TDA2500. It has been a super reel for me, but never see mention of it. Does anyone use this reel? I feel it would be top contender. :-/

Looks like ya busted 'em up good. 8-)

Hi Tiny

I wouldn't say that I am brand loyal, because I do have other rods, but they started out building St. Croix about 10 miles from me. I guess in my neck of the woods, St. Croix is kind of a staple.

;D

Lake Wylie: 30" 30.19lbs FishinDaddy said he caught it. So it goes to show you guys, 28#s is possible. 8-)

Geez, the only given around here is that you need to find out if your marrying into your own relation. ;D

7' mhm or mhf. Brands? The skies the limit. Your gonna have to do a lot of reading on this forum and choose. Everybody has a favorite. Good luck.

Pgersumky, here's the picks you wanted. Took a couple with the sx and winch. Gotta laugh, mine looks like an ultra light compared to T-rigs'. Can't wait for spring. Sorry, the camera don't do it justice!

White Lightning

Congrats Pond-Pro!

Thanks a bunch Micro. Oh, and thanks for the new wallpaper!

No reccomendations on reel, but I do agree with Cravin on the E-bay seller. Bought from dolilfishie on 3 occasions and all three shipping was included for less than anyone else before their s/h. Great seller.

Micro, in your review, you state that under normal circumstances that the stx and the zillion are equal. What are other than normal circumstances? You also said that you thought the drag star on the daiwa was more refined and smoother with a better finish than the stx. Sometimes when you have "fish on" and need to work the drag, wouldn't that be an attribute to the stx? Especially in wet conditions. In the end you say that if the zillion performs as well as the stx, that you would consider it the clear winner. Would this be based more on tolerance and cosmetics, or function and performance? I do not own nor have I ever held a zillion, so please don't consider this a challenge. Looking at a zillion makes me drool, and it looks like a sweet reel. I am only hoping to gain more insight before I pull the trigger. Thanks, ff15

Here's wishing everyone a geat '09.

Funny you should ask. I took a reel apart today for absolutely no reason.

Beautiful! The fish too. Boy, if she wasn't hooked, she should be now.

Nice fish Ghost, hopefully an *** of things to come in '09!

Here, try this thread from a couple of days ago. Should get it done for ya. Goodluck-ff15 http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1229877933

Hey Richard! Welcome.

Sweet. I ended up with one I found here in the flea market last fall. Looking forward to getting it on the water in spring. You got a nice looking rod there.

Welcome wiskey runner!

Welcome Hechtjaeger- You might want to post the question in the rods,reels, and line forum. You will have a good group giving suggestions, and if you read into the older posts, you'll get a lot of insight. Goodluck-ff15

Why did I just google that? :-[
