Here she is ready to go 7'6 Seth Feider neko/hair jig Elite AGS Tatula LT 2500 spooled with 10lb red spectra braid. It Is so light maybe 9oz total weight Wish we could do more pics lol

Where was that sale?

Now Daiwa is kicking shimano butt, but the latest ci4+ is impressive I wouldn't look past it. I'm a big fan of Daiwa as a whole, I own 7 rods and 2 baitcaster currently. I'm really looking forward to the LT reel though

I was leaning towards the aldebaran but from what I was reading chucking 1/2oz square bills may kill it pretty quick.

I am looking at getting a Shimano baitcaster and I want to know which do you prefer. It will be used mainly for square bills and vibrating jigs. I'm really looking to compare these 4 Aldebaran Antares Chronarch Metanium Thanks for all your input

One word explains it all:PREFERENCE. My finesse spinning reels need smooth drag,quick line pick up and paddle handle. Baitcaster reels are a bit different due to techniques. Lower gear ratios(under 6:4:1) are best suited for deep crankbaits. Also lower gear ratios have more power or torque. Mid gear ratio (6:4:1-7:0:1) are most common and can be used for almost anything Burner gear ratio(7:0:1 and up) are best used in any technique where you need to pick up line quickly. Frogs and jigs quickly come to mind. Rods: Most of my rods are Daiwa. I own 7 of them. My second favorite would be Phenix I own 2 of them I have owned: st.croix, g Loomis, Abu Garcia, and other brands. I can say comfortably that I feel Daiwa makes some of the best rods out there and they cover all tapers and actions for every technique.

End of February I will be buying either the 2500 tatula or 2500xh ballistic. The weight,smoothness and d**n near 22lb of drag which is almost if not smoother then my stradic. It will pair nicely with my AGS tatula rod

I have both an AGS and a plain 6'9 jerkbait rod and the 7'6 neko/hairjig They are both amazing. The AGS guides are worth the extra coin. They are so rigid and you can feel EVERYTHING I'm slowly transferring all my rods to these, with the exception of my M1 drop shot rod.i feel it is better the the 7'ml Myers rod. I just wish there was more talk about the new LT series reels on here.

I was wondering if anyone has a. Ballistic LT 2500xh series. I have a 2017 shimano ci4+ on my drop shot road and I love that thing, but I just picked up a tatula AGS fieder neko rig rod and I'm on the fence what to pair on her. So if anyone can compare the important parts I would appreciate the help How is the drag? Balance and smoothness of retrive Casting? Durability?

I want the 6:2:1 ratio LT ballistic in the 2500 for sure. By March my new rig will be ready so pumped for it

Ugh I want the 2500 to go on my tatula ags Feider neko rig rod I hope it has a paddle handle over the T handle

I want to make it my prime neko rod. Right now I'm using a 7'2 M1 MF and it's alright but really wanting something a bit more dedicated. My next thing was sending the M1 out and reguiding it and changing the reel to a new ballistic Lt when it arrives. So pretty on the fence still

I'm going to be selling my phenix m1 and Lew's team speed spool and getting the tatula 2500 reel and pairing on the 7'6 ml neko rig I think just want wait to hear reviews on them

I was doing my normal end of year wish list and thinking of purging a rod. I was wondering if any one has tried or owns a new Diawa tatula elite ags spinning rod. I'm looking at the 7'6ml any help would be great

Thanks I appreciate the info

Sounds good did you hammer any size on either green or brown

I was wondering if anyone has fished ossipee this year and if so can point me in the right direction. Looking for green or brown fish and I have never fished up there. Any info will help

Pitboss and kinky beaver

water in the northern parts are still cold. Sunapee was between 46-55. between my buddy and i we took 2 decent smallies

on my flipping/jig setup i have an 8:1:1 on my vibrating jig rod i use a 6:4:1 it really is all about your prefernce. i agree if you in constant movement with no slack any ratio will work. but for pause and go you may want to pick up line faster, thats where the higher gear ratio come into play hope that helps

just got my daiwa alphas ito AI the other day paired her on a 7'2 tatula and she us ready to toss some 110+1. pics will come tonight

well with that said i may have to move things around. thanks for the input

building a new addition hope to have up and running by june if pennies are counted correctly lol. just bought a daiwa alphas 103 ito jdm reel saving for a megabass levante leviathan. this should make for an epic swimbait get up

just sprung and bought a daiwa alphas 103 ito 217 shipped i felt was a solid price. 5:8:1 gear ratio will be going on a megabass levante leviathin swimbait set up

thanks guys
