ive seen that video. I feel he uses too much grease. He puts it on the worm gear.

Just some prices for everyone... Shimano Curado I: $150 Shimano Curado G: $143 Shimano Symetre Spinning Reel: $83 Okuma Helios spinning reel: $99 Okuma Komodo Baitcaster: $129 Okuma Helios Baitcaster: $137

I don't have any comments on it but I've been looking at the 7'2" ML/ F DropShot Rod. $50 for a Lexa Rod is a sweet deal.

Wow this is pretty cool. They're selling Tatula reels for $99 and the cheapest I've seen them is $95 and that's on eBay!

I feel like I am overgreasing my reels. Where does everybody put grease vs where they put oil (lubricant)?

I was thinking plastics, too. And for jigs I would only skip docks with it. I have a different rod I like better for jigs.

I have a Gander Mtn Vortex 6'6" MH casting rod and it is a X/F action. What should I use it for? I was thinking skipping jigs, close-cover spinnerbaits, and shore fishing. Any other ideas?

I agree. $10 normal shipping for a box of plastics.

Seven times to be exact.

This is why I order from Tackle Warehouse whenever humanly possible. I gave them one chance. You had one job, Cabela's!

I figured this applied to the Lew's reels too. Apparently not. I waited one more day to pick up a Laser Pro and now it's $60 more...

I have it. It's a great reel. Very smooth and casts far. Doesn't require a lot of adjustments between lures.

That's the same with me. My point is that some people would, and I'm sure you can find deals on top of it.

Get the Lew's Laser Pro off Cabela's. It's on sale for $70, comes in a 7.1:1 gear ratio, and also has a left hand model.

It's official, I'm switching to Dobyns rods!

I'd say more than half pay retail on TWH for their reels. Suggesting that it's 2015 just means we have access to many resources. Most don't take advantage of it.

That was the point. MOST people buy retail, so they might as well get this reel. And it IS a fair comparison because they're the same price...

They both have pros and cons. Fluoro is less visible, but does not cut itself into wood and get stuck. But it will break off easier. Braid is stronger, but more visible. It will not break off, but it can cut into wood and get stuck. Try both out and see what you like better.

I was comparing this reel to the Tatula, not the Type R. And I was arguing that the from straight retail with no upgrades, the Arachnid is nicer than the Tatula. Not exactly sure how you can not agree with that.

Looking at both retail prices, the Arachnid is a lot more quality. And bearings aren't that cheap.

I can't imagine it's easier to get through considering braid cuts through grass, while fluoro is too thick to do that.

I have to say, it looks a lot snazzier than the normal Tatulas.

Yes it definitely would.

It's a ridiculous reel for the price. I just hope people see this so they know about it and spread the word.

I heard Mike McClelland talking about this reel at the weigh in today, so I went and checked it out. It's on sale for $149.99 right now. The reel is quite obviously made by Daiwa. The interesting part is that it's the exact same price as the Tatula 100, but has four more bearings. The Arachnid has 12 bearings (9BB+2CRBB+1RB), while the Tatula 100 has 8 (7SS + 1RB). What do you guys think about this? I'd say if you're looking at a Tatula, definitely get the Arachnid.
