You can find that particular Lews reel for much cheaper on Amazon and ebay.

Dobyn’s customer service is excellent. I’ve had a couple of interactions and they were very helpful.

Thank you gents!

Will this work? https://www.amazon.com/Dual-Pro-Bank-Professional-Charger/dp/B0000XQ76S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516303142&sr=8-1&keywords=dual+pro+3+bank+charger I'm upgrading my trolling motor (12V to 24V) so the company that is installing recommended a 3 bank charger for my batteries. I'm pretty sure this is one that was recommended but it's about $150 cheaper. Is this what I need?

I bought 2 1000yd spools on ebay for some absurdly low price. It is really nice line. I had it on my deep cranking set ups.

I have the same rod and use it for the same purpose with a Chronarch MGL.

End of November (Black Friday) through the 1st of the year.

That's a helluva Daiwa to start off with. I've gone all Shimano but the Steez is a flagship reel that I don't think you can go wrong with.

I bought the NRX 854 for as a dedicated jig rod (mostly 3/8 plus trailer) but I really like them longer so I recently purchased a GLX 894. I haven't had the opportunity to fish it yet but I'm looking forward to it. The lightness and sensitivity of the NRX is amazing. I have a few Dobyn's Champ Extremes and to me they don't come close.

6th Sense Crush 50 and Crush 100 in bluegill fire and/or bluegill spawn. KVD 1.5 and KVD 2.5

After fishing with other rods it just feels dead.

After thinking about it a little bit I think the 733 Champion Extreme rod would be decent. It's listed as fast but it's a little bit slower than most but still has enough backbone for grass, etc. I may try that out. I have the Fury 705CB, Champ XP 735/736CB's. The 705 has really fallen out of favor for me and I'm considering trying out a Champion XP to see the difference.

EDIT: I'm not the sharpest tool. There is an OPEN option on the external brake dial. Opens perfectly in that setting.

Well I finally got the reel in and I can't get the dang side plate open. I PM'ed DVT as he has helped me in the past. Has the same problem on a Curado 70 and I think after loosening the spool tension I was able to open it. I've tried just about everything I can think of and can't get it open. Thoughts anyone?

I've sold all of my Daiwa's but one and i can tell you I never knew when I was holding the Zillion SV or the Tat SV. They felt pretty much the same all around to me.

This picture only works if that's an Ultrex

Just picked up a new Scorpion DC and I'm pretty excited about it as it will be my first DC reel. Anyone have one and care to share their experience? I know little to nothing about them except the obvious digital control.

Got a few spools for free from ordering some specific reels. I have it on my topwater rod that I throw ploppers on. No issues for me at all. It is thin so maybe go up 10# from standard braid if using on a baitcaster. I had some 30# on a jig rod and it would dig in a bit when trying to pop the line of snags and things like that.

@Delaware Valley Tackle

Do you guys throw them on straight braid?

I throw light T-rigs on mine. 1/4oz (plus plastic) and below. I was throwing 3/8oz jig and trailer on mine for a while. Works like a dream. True, I had 20# Abrazx for a while and I could easily spool myself

Awesome haul! Thanks @fishballer06

I figured that's something they could take care of manually, pretty easily.

I bet if you called they would've helped you out

There is a another site I'm starting to like just as much. Can't talk about here though.
