Tatsu is Fantastic line! It is not the same as sniper and closer to Sunline shooter... Tatsu is my bottom contact line as its dense and very tough line!

daiwa Tatula as it can be had for 85$ or so...

I know BPS and CABELAS will not have DUO REALIS in their stores...

Been a power pro fan since they came out and were innovative textiles... New seaguar Smackdown is some nice braid as well.

2 lines ive been using for a while is Lake Forks power silk and seaguar Senshi... I love the power silk for cranks and SBs....Senshi has been solid for topwater..

spinnerbaits, cranks, topwater, chatterbaits, wakebaits possibly jerkbaits depending on the rod..

Dobyns 806CB.... The 10XD is like dragging an anchor and needs that extra power... Ive used my 805 on 10XDs and its fine, but the 806 made it less fatigue over the course of the day

go Invizx or hybrid for cranking or look at LFT Power silk..

Daiwa TD ito....

solid line...12lb should be fine as the line Runs thick compared to other lines so it will break at 18lb or so...

Pixzilla is normally this to a stock Pixy...... Worm bearing upgrade from bushing... spool bearing upgrade drag upgrade.....Type R already Has handle upgrade IE adding 4 bearings to the handle......Type R I think has only 2 bearings you can add a TDZ line guide, but not necessary Polish of internals upgrade your gears to 6.8.1...........Type R already has I think that covers it... lol

Long enough for froggin... I do use a backing as you dont need a ton just enough to fill the bottom of the spool, then I tie the braid on...I also dont use thick backing maybe 8lb line as it just needs to be there for the line to bite into thats it.. I also have a Zillion HLC paired with my champ 736 that I use for Long bombing frogs or in heavy matts...

Im tellin ya dont be scared to throw heavier stuff on it... Ive got my Type R posted on a Savvy 735, with 50lb Braid throwing frogs on it... PX68 posted on a Champ 735C with 20lb Abrazx throwing Beavers into heavy cover and both are still mint shape with ZERO issues... Of course all my reels have the pixzilla upgrades and Boca bearings thrown in them... such a fun reel to use..

Love my Type R and other Various Pixys... Finesse to Beast it doesnt matter

The one I'm using....DX701C with a daiwa Pixy SPR, 4lb line.... Love this combo and its a blast to use... I have had a MB Aaron Martens spinning rod with a Daiwa Exist steez 2004 and that was a killer combo, but Im not a fan of spinning..

I know some guys that throw square bills on the 703 as well, me not so much as I use my Savvy 703 micro for only spinnerbaits in the 3/8th-1/2oz range no problem... Great all around rod from weightless to jigs, t rigs,spinnerbaits, squares, topwater poppers..etc.

"I think it's pretty funny that people pay extra for "orange seal" bearings, and then throw out the seals." Pretty funny how dumb this statement is... People pay extra for orange seals as Boca makes a SOLID ceramic bearing and great company that backs their products if anything might happen to the bearings...Orange seal is just a designation to the type of bearing..They also run better without the seals on as the seals are rubber and tend to swell over time.

go with the E and put bearings in it and take the AR ratchet out

Daiwa tatula rods are pretty nice for the money... Or Dobyns Savvy

i wouldnt get the Lexa over the tatula..Not even close..

Daiwa TD ito, Dobyns DX745 possibly

The Pixy Type R is not just for light baits, IN FACT I use multiple Pixys that are loaded with 50lb braid for frogging, 20lb Abrazx for beavers... All In all I own about 10 pixys from 2004 all the way up to the Pixy type R, PX68s etc.. from 4lb line to 50lb braid they are solid reels..

Daiwa tatula.. of those 2 revo S

BPS Black Friday sales SUCK for fishing stuff... They always hold out till the fishing classic....TW will have 20% off and has a better selection..

Plain and simple YES...
