Shimano all day
-
Sweet i may look into the sv105 then. And go with a medium light rod correct?
-
Same here. Expensive tackle off the bank or a jon boat
-
Wut about an SOL or Chronarch 50MG?
-
What are some suggestions for a solid finesse baitcaster. SV105? SOL? Either shimano or daiwa. Something that can get me decent distance with small poppers and such
-
When u say skimpy hardware what parts r u referring to? And on some of Shimanos less expensive options or on the higher end stuff like the Met,etc? Just curious. Ive always been under the impression the Lews/Abu stuff is nowhere near the build quality of shimano/daiwa
-
Tatula CT Hands down . Casitas 2nd. Ive owned Lews and wasnt impressed in the least bit.
-
Anyone get their hands on one? Theyve been on backorder for like 2 months now. Ive called and asked when in stock and the date arrived and they still show backorder. My local bps has one model in stock. A spinning rod and it feels ridiculously nice and looks great. Just curious have any of u guys handled any. On one page someone said the blanks were made by NFC. No idea if thats true
-
Get the Steez and the GLX
-
Look at Hammer Rods cranking series
-
My J Dream came in yesterday and wanting to get the cork knobs for it. question is i see japantackle has em for $16 which ones is everyone getting? The plastic coated cork ones or the uncoated? And u buy the Thanks! Also reccomendations on a handle as the 6.3 handle is a touch short
-
The fuego is probably the better reel even tho the caenan felt fine in my hands. The powell diesel rods can be found for around $50. Been impressed with mine for the price
-
The only sk2 rod i hav fished was a glass rod. I just didnt find the trigger to be comfortable in my hand. Just much prefer the ecs.
-
I was set on getting a max 3d until i saw they use the sk2 reel seat. Just not a fan of that. They have a new rod coming out this fall (photos on facebook) and looks like it will have the ecs seat
-
I use it for everything..aside from froggin or flippin. My brand of choice is McCoy. Great stuff
-
Awesome. Thats pretty much what im lookin for in this reel. Just bought it from a guy. Anxiously awaiting its arrival!
-
Awesome! What techniques do u use yours with?
-
Found a pretty good deal on a 6.3 j dream. Should i snag it or hold out for a 7.9? Didnt realize the 7.9 had the longer handle which i like. I figure id use the reel for some cranking,spinnerbaits,topwater,liplesscranks,etc. will i think the 6.3 is too slow?
-
I like the way u put it Silas. Kinda why im leaning towards a j dream
-
Anyone still fish the daiwa j dream? Still a great reel or has some of the newer stuff surpassed it in performance. I found a couple im considering buying one but was also found an SV103. Would the sv103 be the better option or should i grab a J dream?
-
Another to consider is a used Citica 200E. Usually can find for 70-80. But yea id go PQ if buying new
-
Just get the damaged one
-
Ive used both. Owned a couple Lews (super duty and tournament pro) as well as a Tatula and a Zillion. I did not care for the Lews at all. Theyre a touch lighter but overall i much preferred the tatula. Easy to dial in. Casts great. I did sell it becuz it was a tad large for my puny hands but the newer CT Tatula palms a little better
-
Yeah i want an MGL as well. I just know these sv103 are getting hard to find.
-
The met mgl significantly outcasts the sv103?
