I have played with several Daiwas and they have all had backlash. That is one reason I don't like Daiwas. I have never notice it with my SHIMANO. Just say SHIMANO and be done with it.

I like most all LC. But do not like the 120 sammy it is just to big for my taste. In fact I gave one away.

I would have to go with Tennessee Shad color in the 78sp

99 percent of the time it is the O2 sensor. It is located on the exahust pipe just in front of the muffler. It generally cost around $150 to change it. I just change the one on my truck . It was $135

That easy A Chronarch 100B

1. Pointer SP & DD 2. Combat CB MR 3. Slender pointer 97MR 4. Staysee 5. Bevy Shad 7. Sammy 100 8. RC 1.5 9. RC 0.5 10. G-splash

I think I will stick with my old Sunline Defier. If it not broke do't fix it.

I have used #6 and #8 on BC equipment with no problem. Just watch casting into the wind.

Dont throw then in the garbage. They are as good you can buy.

Leave them along

I use G-splash among other. I perfer lobina rico.

Buy Lucky Craft they run true out of the box.

Great company to do bussiness with

If I am going to use a snap and I do it will be a Duo-lock

The bags that plastic come in will keep then from drying out also it has a label of what inside. A lot of plastics are not tackle box friendly. They will melt and stick together.

That is a new onw??????????

Can you spell S H I M A N O

Which every bag you buy leave your plastic in their orginal bags.

Exectly right Hot n Tot It is the man not the reel.

A few week ago I answered another post saying I was going to buy a Ardent reel to try out and see if it was on par with my Shimano. I have purchase a Ardent 2006 SX baitcaster. First impression are good. 10 stainless bearings, 6 pin Centrifugal adjustable brake, weight 8.7 oz, 6 to 1 ratio, I pices magnesium side plate, 1 Piece Magnesium Frame. Low profile, 3 year warrenty, 6 .0 to 1 radio, 100% made in U.S.A, Instant continous anti-reverse. Spool capacity 120 yards of 12 lbs. The only difference between the 06 and 07 is the side plate. On the 07 it release like a Shimano. On the 06 you need a allen wrench. which is supplied. Which is not a big deal with me for once I set the pins I don't change them. Also the side plate will not come completely off Like it does on some reels so you cannot drop it overboard. I match this up with a Loomis CBR 906 Rod in Med Hvy weight. Loaded with Sunline Defioer line. On the lake the reel performed flawless right out of the box. The 6 pin Centrifugal adjustable brake were even set correct for me. It seem to be a little smaller than my Shimano and to be homest it fit my hand a little better. For the way I plan on using this set up the lower gear ratio will not be a problem either. The price for a 07 is in line with either of the other two brands. After several hours on the lake with the reel the only thing that remained to be seen is how well it stands up to use. Only time will tell. IMO Daiwa and Shimano had better look out. By the way we caught some fish with it.

Go with the Shimano you know what kind of reel they are.

I don't sharpening hooks. You can never get them as sharpe as new. They are also to cheap to sharpen

Sure any time I can. Give me a few days notice and we will go. I have taken a part time job and it is turning into a full time job Bud

I did not do as good as you did. Went 3-5-07 for a few hours and caught 5 LM all about 3 pounds. Also a white drun that went 12 3/4 pounds. All was on a LC pointer in about 6 ft of water temp 45.5.
