Those are Team All Stars made approx in 2005-10, and that model is worm rod 1.

The Damiki one was the easiest to rig but I don't think it's available anymore so Mustad Power Lock.

I like the Daiwa Aird Inshore rods, some are F action some R. You probably want the R to keep them pinned. I use F but that's because Reds and Bass are mostly what's biting, I did hook into juvenile tarpon and they also can spit out those hooks quickly. I also use Bass Pro Inshore Extreme reels, basically souped up Pro Qualifiers that have some corrosion protection, and 17lb Sunline Defier mono which unfortunately is discontinued.

1 PQ 5.6 Nice reel for cranks or just to slow down some.

I think you mean CX, which is a good line unlike Fluroclear.

Let us know how the Amazon jp transaction turned out. I was thinking of buying from them as well.

For bladed jig I use 6'10" H Mod-Fast St Croix Premier, I think Falcon has basically the same rod called the Head Turner.

I have 2 of the Spirex reels for panfish, and i am not really a fan of the trigger but they are a decent reel. I now mostly use a Daiwa Exceler 1000 for those white bass and crappie.

Xcalibur one knock> than any other. Not had much luck on Booyah replacement or similar Yo Zuri lures. Lucky Craft, SK, and Rapala's will catch some but not as often.

https://www.basspro.com/p/quantum-pt-smoke-s3-baitcast-reel Older reel but $100 when it was originally $180. The Fuego is probably just as old though.

I use a 6'4" St Croix Panfish rod and a 1000 series Daiwa Exceler reel with 6lb Trilene XL. Great combo for small tubes/grubs.

I only use full grip rods, the split ones might look cooler but do not feel right 2 handed casting.

$50 hands down Daiwa Aird Coastal rods. I have 4 of them. The 6'8" casting was made with short handle for topwater/jerkbaits.

If it's the crankbait rod it's softer than a typical Premier MH, I say use it.

You can still get a Hildebrandt Nugget but only in 1/4 Oz size.
