I need some help deciding on new reels to get. I am deciding between 2 chronarch MGLs, one Antares, one Aldebaron and a tatula sv tws, or a Steez Sv TWS. I plan on using them on a jig and worm rod, I like good value but also good features. I really like the Steez but not a fan of the lack of micro gears and like the Antares but its quite old, any suggestions?

Which bait caster do you guys thin is the best for 2017? The Abu MGXtreme2, Shimano metanium MGL, or Daiwa Steez SV TWS? Thanks

Originally I asked him to use a Fuji TVS, had him order it from mudhole, and it's already built so I can't ask him to switch the reel seat. Not sure how you can mix up a reel seat like that.. Whatever

As in the quality of the brand

Is the Seaguide XSS a good reel seat? How about compared to Fuji seats. Thanks!

How is it compared to a Fuji TVS?

Hi guys, Just had a custom rod built for me, and I was wondering what kind of reel seat this is, the maker selected it for me. Thanks!

What rod do you use?

So I currently have a Tatula rod with a curado g series (think 200) reel, that has become not too smooth that I want to replace for a strictly pitching and flipping setup. I want to either A: wait for the steez sv TW and pair it up with the tatula, and upgrade the rod next summer. B: Get a shimano curado 70 and pair it with a new shimano zodias. or C: Get a Daiwa Steez SV AGS casting rod and pair it with the curado and wait next summer pair it with the steez reel. I want something that will become my pitching and flipping setup for 16 lbs gamma fluorocarbon. The structure is logs, some pads, but mainly docks and logs, because it is a northern lake and the pads would be not as often as pitching to fallen trees and logs. Thats why I really like option B, for the X ship to crank the drag down all the way and get them to the boat ASAP. Advice appreciated, thanks!

So I was previously looking at Dobyns and St Croix until I saw the Kistler Z bone custom. It is super sexy, and I'd be able to match it to my stradic Fk. Online Kistler says its pretty much an all purpose spinning rod, Medium XF, for Tubes, Dropshot, shakey head, and T rigs . What do you guys think, can I use it for all those techniques? Two of the st croixs/dobyns or a Kistler? I'd prefer Kistler due to matching my reel and putting my name on my rod but want the input, thanks!

Lastly, what about the Z Bone by Kistler? Saw them and fell in love, customized my ideal one and its sweet.

I think it will be a dedicated dropshot rod. Ill be going the Dobyns route. Im also going with a tubes, light jig, wacky worm, and T rig rod, would a Dobyns 703 or the Legend Elite 7ft fast fit my needs better?

So I'm trying to decide between a Dobyns DX 702SF and a St Croix Legend Elite ES610MLXF, I will be using this rod for some shakeyhead rigs, but more specifically drop shotting, I have heard great things about both, and can afford either, however, I noticed the Dobyns doesn't have the new torzite guides, and I want this rod to last a while. Please only help me between these two rods and not other manufacturers, thanks!

OK, so before I was going for two rods and two reels, now im thinking one amazing rod and one amazing reel. I'm thinking a Daiwa Exist on 8 lbs fluourocarbon with a st croix legend elite 2016 medium 7ft fast. This will be for tubes, weightless senkos and dock stuff, but can I drop shot with this setup? Also, Daiwa Exist, or Shimano Stella? I was thinking a stradic FK but fell in love with the exist, and on my lake its only spinning gear. All advice appreciated, thanks!
