Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
yup, when they dumped out the first batch of the flat 7s, my friends and I picked out all the red craw and hot chartreuse ones, and when we asked an employee to check the back for more, they said thats all they have. a month later, another batch dumped out with a few more red and chartreuse. 2 weeks ago, they dumped out more.

No, I just don't think its as good as the hype lets you believe it is. There are reviews done by Tackle Advisor on youtube that shows some major flaws with the reel. Not to mention Im a LH retrieve guy, and I dont fish neon orange reels ^This Too much advertising isnt a good thing. Makes it seem like you are trying way too hard to push a product, and it makes me doubt its claims

Recommendations on a shallow jerkbait?
if you are willing to pay, Iv had great success on the gan craft rest 128, in the regular deep diving and the short lip verison. the short lip version can be worked within a foot of the surface https://www.ichibantackle.com/products/3909-GAN-CRAFT-REST-128-SL/

Baitcaster help
If you want a bigger spool size, you dont want the zillion sv tw, metanium or the steez, all have smaller than average line capacity. A tatula ct/ct type r may be a good option for you.

Daiwa Tatula HD 153 size
Anyone know if the physical size of the 153 is smaller than that of the 150? The 150 is the size of the original tatula, would 153 be of CT size? http://www.daiwa.com/jp/fishing/item/reel/bait_rl/tatula_hd/index.html

Best Braided Lines
I use berkley trilene professional braid more than anything else. I also have reels spooled with daiwa samurai, maxcurato, j braid 8, original powerpro and something else that i cant remember the name of

Why color your braid?
Because when you punch or flip into heavy weeds, a black line blends much better than a faded white line

How much is import tax on reels shipped from Japan?
Holy cow, thats insane, but that probably has surcharges and taxes already added to it. I shipped my F5.1/2-70X7 in a tube via FedEX and my initial payment was very low, and i got hit with the rest of the charges after delivery. I know very rarely DHL doesnt charge you tax, as iv ordered reels off of digitaka a few times and only got charged 2/4 times. All worth about the same, with same size packaging.
