Looking for if the Signature Series is worth the extra money over the Custom Lite for skipping....they are both 7'1" H with fast tip for skipping, of Course there is also the LFS model with same specs for same money...I am a terrible skipper and wanting a good skipping rod

It is on the website as of this morning

Shelton's is great - I go in their store a lot - very good people and very legit

Well I had never heard of AMAZON HAUL but just ordered a bunch of stuff - interesting deals

Thanks very much - would the 150 skip as good as the 100? Is the only difference reel size and line capacity?

Do you mean the Tatula SV 100? I am not familiar with all the Daiwa codes, etc. Thank you - does this refer to the Shimano SLX 70? I dont see a 70/71 online

Thanks I have seen this comment of yours as I researched this - very helpful- so when you say "Daiwa SV", is that the Tatula SV? I am not sure which model you exactly mean - thanks very much.

Most of my set ups are specific to a certain bait or two - so this set up I want is for throwing Texas rigged seniors on a baitcaster in the 8.x:x range - I throw them a lot and hate using a 7.x.x because of reeling it in so often and I want it to be faster....I am not set on any brand, just wanting something under $175'ish - I thought about the Lews SP skipper that is on sale for $175 but don't see me being able to skip a senko with my lack of skill!

A year ago using this reel, the "cast control cap" (proper name on the Daiwa parts diagram) came off and fell in the lake. The one I ordered has arrived a year later. I replaced it today and it does not affect how fast my line drops like it needs to...and the spool still rattles even though I have the cap tightened as far as it will go. I don't know if there were other parts that I need to order that went under the cap and can't tell from the parts diagram. Any ideas as to fix this issue? I'll be the first to admit I am no expert.

I just got this reel and I'm trying to figure out the best use for it. I have lots of reels and don't have any gaps in my needs but thought I'd put this where it would be the most effective. I have a 6.2 of the same reel for crankbaits and the 8.3 for throwing frogs a long distance and wondered if this 7.5 would be good for throwing very lightweight, soft plastics like flukes and trick worms since it is supposedly a long casting reel. Or what is a great usage for it?

Thanks to you both! Will do!

all three of my Abu Garcia rods have gotten sticky / tacky on the black grips over the past summers - how can I treat them so they dont peel or get worse? any ideas? TIA

I mainly use them in 3.75 swimming them alone not as trailers and wondered if 4.25 or another length is more versatile / effective?

I have broken off more recently using a Yozuri leader...I use 8, 10, and 12 depending on what pound line of Power Pro I am tying it to...any knot suggestions? I am wetting the line and have been using a double uni knot.

what length do you prefer?
