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.

I use BPS Inshore Extreme reels when I go to Florida from Indiana, basically suped up Pro Qualifiers with corrosion protection and good for Bass or Redfish.

If i buy a non Shimano or Daiwa, i just get a BPS house brand reel when they have sales and have a club member discount.

Anybody got one yet? I think it is just a suped up Tat CT but St Croix has it on sale for $129.99 which is a good price for what it is.

https://daiwa.us/products/aird-coastal-inshore-rods I own 2 of them that I bring in my truck as beater/bank fishing rods.

I bought one for guests in the boat, I had enough points it was basically a free $60 rod and it's built ok and sensitive enough but Academy has had Daiwa Coastal Aird rods for less and i like them better. At the current price I definitely wouldn't buy one but like all BPS products they do go on sale. A Pro Qualifier reel and Fish Eagle rod is a good combo when on sale.

Daiwa Legalis 2000 -$65 Daiwa Exceler 2000-$80 Prices on Amazon, I have an Exceler(1000 series on 6'4" St Croix Panfish rod) and really like it even though I generally dislike spinning reels.

I've caught countless bass on that sexy shad one knocker. The Booyah and Yo Zuri clones not so much.

Just T-rig em with the Damiki hook.

I use to do well with school bus yellow but never see that color on any SB's these days.
