Zonda on endurance. It'll probably stay on here because the balance feels exceptional and it matches.

Im interested to see how they are, but I thought you would have picked these as beaters

I've seen some 2016 reels being announced for the end of this year on their feed.

The tat is about 100 bucks, inexpensive, has easy to adjust external brakes. Why not if the reel is to your liking.

You can PM me model info, etc. Reel should be here by tomorrow, for some reason I expected much longer shipping since it wasn't listed as EMS.

Id rather the zodias

I bought yo-zuri fluorocarbon line for less than 12 dollars

I think I'm done for at least a month Finished the 1st combo here, might just put the Zonda on my Powell Endurance for now when the reel arrives.

Revo Elite Aurora 64 Limited. The finish made me do it.

On my gen 2 I used to make the spool tension as loose as possible, just short of there the spool rocked side to side. I turned the brake up to max, then turned it down incrementally from there. It was almost 3/4 of the way up or more, but I used to get tons of distance, no backlashing and I really didnt need to thumb the spool. I used to hate that reel but after I got it to my liking it became one of my favorites. The next model up is the stx, which has dual braking like the PQ.

I'll try that myself

The default rod suggestion is usually 7ft m/h for that, plenty that fall into that lure rating. Theres a bunch of $100 dollar rod threads on most of the pages and you can narrow it down. Check dicks sporting goods, they have a clearance sale going at many stores right now. example from search http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/157264-best-do-it-all-baitcasting-rod-under-100/page-2?hl=worm#entry1774283 http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/151806-dobyns-new-contender-for-the-100-rod-catergory/?hl=dollar

I expect epic pics after July 4th sales. I may have 1-2 more purchases in my future but the extreme heat probably wont allow me to fish them until January =/

You can get the curado i on ebay for 120 shipped

The telescopic version usually collapses down to a smaller profile so you can store it in a rod locker on a boat since many don't hold rods of that length. I had a telescopic flipping stick once, I returned it because the handle was stuck and it felt like a lead pipe. I don't even know why I bought it, I don't own a boat

If you can find an old crucial at DSG, they were $40 bucks for the 6ft10 spinnerbait rods.

If you're having 1st world problems, I feel bad for you son, I've got 99 problems but a reel ain't one.

I have some bright orange suffix elite mono if you are looking for another hi vis mono. Most braids will lose color but you can always buy markers and cut a slit in the tip of them to reapply color

Sure is
