I grab the plastics when I find them for $2 a pack at Ollie’s. Don’t care about them or their YouTube or any of that. The plastics catch fish just as well as anything else you can get. Seen plenty MLF guys flipping the Bandito Bug before. If it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for me. Would I buy them at full price? No. But I rarely pay full retail for any of my gear.

Got my haul order in today. Ended up being even better because some of the Swamp Lords they sent me were a whole 3 pack case instead of just 1. Somebody messed up

Thanks. That’s a killer deal. Got the Brian Thrift 7’2” MH-MF and the 7’ MH-M

Completely different, and It’s not like it’s anything new. It’s just something that has been reserved to budget reels because it has an actual downside in reels (flex under pressure). There is no benefit like with polymer framed pistols, it’s a straight downgrade and a cost cutting measure. The $100 price point is just traditionally where you see aluminum frames instead of polymer, so it’s disappointing here.

Just saw that for pre-order at tackle Wharehouse. Looks nice but it says it’s a composite frame. That’s pretty lame for a $100 reel.

Im pretty sure Dobyns sends the rods to Amazon pre packaged. Ordered 2 of the $50 maverick rods a little while back and both came in nice rod tubes just like if they had come straight from Dobyns

I never liked fishing them….until I discovered the mini max. Absolute fish catching machines for me. Black/blue or White/Chart minimax with a matching mini spunk shad as a trailer has become my confidence lure. Catches em all big and small.

Bought a couple a while ago and finally got to throw one. Caught a bunch of smaller fish on it, and man the way the fish hit it was really awesome. They were absolutely angry crushing it. Definitely a really fun lure to throw. Also had a turtle attack it and ended up breaking one of the front hooks getting him off, and I had to bend one of the rear hooks backs into place after a few small fish

Amazon has some models of the Dobyns Maverick casting reels for as low as $21-23 after clipped coupons. I know these aren’t anything special, but that price for a decent useable casting reel is solid.

Those sales are wild. Ended up getting a Fuego CT, Falcon BuCoo SR Trapcaster and a Dobyns colt 734c for like $200. Didn't exactly need but oh well. Fills a couple of holes in my rod lineup.

When you get to Florida you can literally just cast into any small retention pond and have a good shot at bass. They are everywhere here lol

I don't see any Tatula CTs in left for that price. The Fuego CT is good as well. https://m.ebay.com/itm/Daiwa-Fuego-CT-8-1-1-Left-Hand-Baitcast-Fishing-Reel-FGCT100XSL/302397297488?epid=1866895283&hash=item4668489350%3Ag%3ALlcAAOSwvv9Ze4QL&_trkparms=pageci%3Abc98dd19-bc36-11e7-999e-74dbd1803ed4%7Cparentrq%3A654a5ea315f0aa13818873e7fffe9e51%7Ciid%3A2 https://m.ebay.com/itm/Daiwa-Fuego-CT-7-3-1-Left-Hand-Baitcast-Fishing-Reel-FGCT100HSL/282590374783?epid=12005828847&hash=item41cbb2eb7f%3Ag%3Ah~YAAOSwJLJZe30h&_trkparms=pageci%3Af75a373b-bc36-11e7-a025-74dbd180c0a0%7Cparentrq%3A654bdfb815f0ab1de6a3a665fffc053b%7Ciid%3A4

Tatula CT, easily. Check eBay. A few reputable sellers have them brand new for around $90. It's leaps and bounds better than the reels you posted. I have 5 of them. They're great.

Orra has an alloy frame while the promax is graphite. That alone would have me pick the Orra.

Tatula CT can be had for $98 on eBay. I have 4 that I bought on there and love. All brand new from reputable sellers. American Legacy Fishing also has the 8:1 CT type R for $119. That plus a Tatula rod for be a killer combo for just over $200.

It wasn't a mistake. It was up for almost 2 days. I'm thinking they're clearing out inventory for gen 4 Revo and 3.0 veritas models.

100% legit. Purchased like 5 reels from them.

Got my 7'6 MHF veritas today. Still a broomstick like my gen 1 veritas was but that's fine for what I'll be using it for.

Most of the people selling these reels on eBay have brick and mortar shops also(American Legacy, sportsman outfitters, etc...). You're getting the same reel youd get if you walked into their store and bought it. It's not like it's some dude who had 200 Tatulas sitting in their garage. I buy all of me reels this way and have been for years. I see no reason not to because I don't like to waste money.

The one that is 7.2lbs is the rods most likely. Those shipping tubes are heavy.

you can get the lfs for $75-80 all the time on eBay or from sportsman outfitters.

I ended up getting one of those 7'6 MH Veritas 2.0 for $32. I seriously don't need it but that's practically giving it away.

Use code PSHOPSAVE15 to get $15 off of $75 on eBay. Used it to get a brand new Fuego Ct for $63. Been wanting to try one to see how it compares to my Tatulas.

It's always the sales that get me. I'm still trying to stay away from that buy one Powell Max 3d or Inferno and get a free Diesel deal. I already have 3 really good rods that aren't in my rotation that just sit yet it's still hard for me to pass that deal up lol.
