That's a shame about the ito. I wish I had the extra cash to grab it from you.

I like the reel but it's just time for something new.

Well did you order it yet? Should have by now lol

Well luckily you are in the right line of work to do that. As soon as I can sell this Steez I wanna pick up something cool.

Mine are on while they are in the locker but that's it. Don't have time to be putting them on and off. Wrap your line around the rod a few times.

It's a no brainier imo.

It's ***. The people who offer the *** and *** rods. But yes I understand what you are saying.

I've seen your collection and I don't think you NEED anything.

Right! I'd love to put a pxr on the champ 703 I just got.

On sale today for $70 TW 25 days of Christmas.

None of my top 3 biggest bass have hit hard. I wade the Potomac for smallies and I'd say those are some of the harder hits I've had.

I use my two 723's for everything. Here's a pic I took a while back for someone. Any reel from the 5-8oz range will balance great. The 723 balances better than the champion 703 I just bought using the Steez. It's not by much but it's about 3/4 inch above the reel seat nut. The Dobyns is lighter and that's the reason why the balance point changes.

Endurances are $119 right now on TW. You won't be disappointed with a 723. The Tatula is a good rod too though. Maybe you were just expecting more.

Under 10ft Trig 1/8-1/4 Jigs 1/4-1/2

My dobyns showed up today and I had to decide on what current reel to put on it. I moved one over to it and that left me needing a reel. So another Tatula is on it's way now.

Plenty of contenders in that price range. Pick the one that offers the features you are looking for in a reel. If possible mount them to your rod to get a better feel for it. Any of the ones mentioned will serve you just fine.

I figured Seattle would beat the Eagles and they are my team. Hopefully they can put it to Dallas again next week. Should be a good game to watch though.

Always typing at the same time haha

That's not what he was saying. He's saying with a budget of $150 it's hard not to buy a good reel. The Op stated he'll spend up to $250.

But but guys it weighs 8 ounces. Zillion +1 Or the tatula and buy 2.

Looks like we were all typing at the same time haha

Casting = it's to be used with a casting reel or baitcaster as we call it. Nothing special about it.

Both are what I'd rate as a heavy power and not your typical medium heavy. As mentioned they're stiff. The 7'6 would be my flippin stick and the 7'3 for heavier jigs and t rigs. Frogs when needed.

So you are wanting to use the fluoro that's left on the spool as a backing for the new line? If you are sure that you won't be getting down to the connection knot, you can use a piece of tape around the left over fluoro and just tie an arbor knot and fill up the spool.

If anyone knows Daiwas it's that man up above. I have a px68 which is close to the R model. I added 1 bearing per knob and a bearing to the level wind. Also Boca os7's to the spool. That upgrade right there made throwing lighter baits even easier. I have it on a Phenix Recon 2 713 and it's just so much fun to fish. I have a Dobyns 703c on the way and I believe this reel will have to have a brother in the near future. Soon as I sell my steez. As for what Dobyns rod. Choose that based on what's weights you'll be throwing. I think the 703 would treat you very well.
