That is actually a really cool success story from a ltb, and I'm sure you would be still pleased if that was the only one you got, because you made it count.

That's my problem as well, I know the 6'10 mediums where on sale for around $230 but I think they all are gone, I'm probably just gonna settle for the 7'2" from tackle warehouse. Wonder how well it balances out with the alde? I want perfection with this set up

Wow I saw alot of adds about these on Facebook and just assumed they wasn't all that great cause I never saw anyone fish them, guess I was wrong. Just a cool looking lil swimbait

Well I didn't have anything in particular, I was gonna get a Rod built for something to suit my reel choice. I'll see how I like this alde' for now, possibly I'll get a dc reel later on this year for traps or jerkbaits.

Yea they can be if cheap on eBay, I bought mine off eBay for $160 before they where even released in the us. I prefer my 70 over my 200is as well. 30lb pound braid will dig when you snag a lure on something and that gets to aggravating for me, I just run 10lb super sniper on my 70

Wow I'm jealous, I decided to skimp out on the met as a birthday present and went with a 15 aldebaran and I'm gonna treat myself with a jackall poison adrenna Rod for hopefully a sweet combo, I'm definately gonna pick up a met dc sometime this winter because I have been hearing a lot of hype about them and I deffinalty wanna try out a dc reel.

Zoom trick worm in watermelon red magic and a 5" seedless watermelon senko get chunked every single time I'm on the water, they catch fish 364 days a year, there's always that one day I couldn't catch one with a box of dynamite.

I don't use braid with buzz baits because I end up losing a lot of buzzbaits, if you make a miscast(which is common for me with buzzbaits) the wait of the buzzbaits and the blades tend to snap the braid for me. So I like 15-20 pound copoly

It's very worth your while, I have quite a few 200i's and I bought the 70 and I'm very impressed with it. Match made in heaven with my 6'6" avid and a Ito 110 ?

Does anyone know if there are any 6'10" medium Shimano jackal poison adrenna rods out there on clearance anywhere? The smallest I can find is a 7'2" medium

Wrb you should be in the top 25 all timers with that 19lber correct? And it seems like you need to cast a spell on one of those jigs and send it my way.? and to add my pb was a Virginia slobberknocker that I caught on a recoil guide loomis 7' heavy, curado I, 20lb super sniper and a 3/8 custom flipping jig

That's good to hear, I'm just nervous about getting a reel that's so expensive with no experience of it. I read a lot of mixed reviews on dc reels which has me worried.

Awesome, I've pretty much narrowed it down to getting a mgl or a dc met. Don't know if the extra hundo is worth it or not. Both reels seem extremely nice from their reviews as well

My curado 70 will throw a 1/8oz spot remover with a shad shapped worm a mile

I like the feel of my Calcutta b way more than my Cardiff, if you want a Cardiff 400 I got one basically new in box if sell you for a good deal. If I was gonna buy one I get a 400d, they can be had for 260-270 nib on the bay

I'm trying to decide if the '15 met dc is worth the price over the excense

Ah I didn't know it would affect it that badly, shoulda bought one last year lol. Does anyone know if the non-bfs alde is worth the price increase over a 70 curado? I've never even say a alde but I have always wanted one, but I'd hate to get it and it feel just like my curado that costs half as much

Why did they go up so much? I haven't looked in like a year and I was shocked

My gf is wanting to buy me a reel for my birthday, wondering what the best deal can be had on a dc reel is? Im having a hard time finding good prices on a excense, maybe the older metanium dc maybe? Is there any good places to look best jls as well because it looks like they increased prices. Thanks

Sorry I forgot to update last night, I found out I was barking up the wrong tree yesterday and was indeed looking at the speedo tubing. I'm pretty sure I found the water pressure line at the back of the motor near the drain hole. I didn't get a chance to restart it to see why it is draining down at the motor mount tho

Mercury 225 efi, I was trying to figure out why the water pressure gauge is not working, water isn't squirting out of the line that comes out of the lower unit that goes to water pressure guage. But it has good water coming out of the motor drain. It is steadily coming out of the drain above the motor mount as well which has me puzzled

I would use a Calcutta D, I think it is sealed better than the abus for the saltwater. I'm not sure how salt proof the Diawas are

My 7'5" emtf feels amazing to me in the Rod length category, plus it's lighter than a lot of 6'6" rods and extremely well balanced. I feel like with this Rod I can flip pinpointly, it's my favorite rod for throwing my gunfish, medium Texas rigs, and magnum 110s. It's all personal preference and how you feel with a Rod, I think you can make any Rod "your perfect Rod" by just putting in hours and hours to get the feel of it

It's the 102mm swept hawgtech, so basically same length as yours. It has so much more power for the big swimbaits

To me they remind me of my old tourney special that I loved so much, which is kind of bad considering it was $40. I used to really like bass pro rods until i ventured out and never turned back
