F14A-B

Those are some seriously low numbers.... Surely they will have greater numbers than these With 3 different speeds , left and right retrieve seems low Anybody else?

I used a big Daiichi red hook in the late 90's on Big yo-Zuri crankbaits. Baits color was lime/ chartreuse . On that color and bait I had more fish caught by that red hook than you can believe! However the red hooks now suck so I use owner needle points and mustad triple grips. No more reds for me

Well my sources are sworn to secretly withhold all information On this reel ,my only question was (location local BPS) how many will they have on day 1 of sale? I know a great deal about the reel itself... I am wanting to know approx. # 's for availability Anyone wanna take a crack at this? I have no clue.. When the D was released they were out in 2 hrs of day one I know some one knows

I used a graphite framed baitcaster by quantum in about 1988.... Hard use ,big fish and saltwater fishing.... Never a problem... I have been upgrading ever since.... Buy what you can afford.... Yes... But today's cheap reels will not live long..the advice the guys are giving is sound. They don't review the cheap reels... Just buy the reels and use them.. Maybe later on you can upgrade if you want I stayed within my budget but I wanted better stuff always.. Because I fish a lot.... Always have So good luck with you're reels and as always enjoy fishing! Spence

Shimano was indeed involved in the reel trade in program at my local BPS also I believe they will be this year as well Anyone else on Shimano and reel trade-in @BPS

True,True, True!!! I love it!!!

Who makes the rod blank?

My opinion.... I don't depend on it.. More trouble than benefit . Are you buying it? Expensive ! I just have a little left and when it's gone.. I will not buy it again.. Company's want to give it fisherman... That's the game.. And that is way different. For me I decided long ago that it was time to get back to basics for just fun fishing! My line choices are solid and reliable and that's it. Good luck ! Spence

Yea it's a very good deal, if u will use them..... I used my 7' CBR for open hook tube presentations in like pea gravel , sand, smaller rocks etc.. It was ok ..not bad... Not perfect but it worked. Good luck!

For me it's mono... I use 2 rod setups for top water.. Mono will absorb trace amounts of water I usually quit topwater 45 minutes after sunrise .. Unless its a special bite going! Scott

Ditto! Or x2 or exactly this!

Yo-Zuri Hybrid 20 for me!

You are in a awesome location to catch big females.. 8 to 12 llb. Yep . It's started (spawn) if you have no boat .. Golden shiners.. If you enjoy live/ dead bait fishing... Biguns too.. They are expensive and can be hard too keep alive... But they exhibit so much fear at the presence of largemouth. In a boat? Flip/ pitch .. look for beds .. They stand out most times! Lastly... Have fun! Tell us how you catch them! Spence Ps.. I flip big 8 to 10" worm in beds.. My use of jigs very troublesome in fl. fishing because of heavy hydrilla

Always nice to hear from military guys... I am a vet. Myself ... Been to costal Germany in about 86 air wing on board Nimitz! They have awesome clocks there. I think A jay is right, a lot of things can and will change in a few years time. Assuming you will retire from the Air Force . During my many travels I fished for what ever was avail. Yes even off the fantail of Nimitz in port at Ft.Lauderdale,Fl. Welcome to the forums! As always stay safe! Spence

Enjoy the forums! Lots of fun Fished up there only 1 time... The smallies are so awesome... Lucky craft pointer jerk bait in gold was killer.. Also motor oil tubes Stay safe

X2 I used a piece of trimmed down lumber Wrap the line a few times and it will break!
