Diawa 150 tatula yearly service. Come on man
We’re talking about people liking fishing reel companies right? I don’t see how anyone really really liking a company can be pathetic. I can however see the humor in it.

Diawa 150 tatula yearly service. Come on man
What ever the design or parts used in a Tatula 150 they are rock solid and super smooth and powerful reels. I have very well used with big baits 150 that’s from the year they came out that is as smooth as it was when new. that’s the important stuff.

Colorado/Oklahoma / War Eagle Finesse
That's a GREAT spinnerbait. I like using it within the 1-4' down range. Even if the water is deeper I only like to let it sink 4' tops. I've caught tons of fish on them. They work in any water clarity.

Rod Advice: Versatile Casting Rod
Of all the rods I have had over the years a G Loomis 843 MBR is the most versatile rod I have ever used. I have three of them, and at least two get used every trip.

Gear for spring...
I received my two replacements for a broken G Loomis 843 and an 844 rod via the Expeditor rod replacement program. I love this company for this, both rods broke from unexpected circumstances. A jig hit one just wrong, and the other had a casting hit. $260 total for both an IMX-Pro and a GLX, what great deal. I ordered them when winter hit thinking it might take some time, both shipped the day I ordered them!

Expect shipping to take 5 to 8 days they said.
Same with Asian Portal, reels come in 4-5 days. They are usually a few dollar less than Digitaka. I use both though.

Are these numbers for real?
Yeah you're right, there shouldn't be any government regulations on anything. Let everyone do what ever they want at any time. Gimme a break dude.

Shimano stuff
I have two Aldebaran 50 MG7, and one CORE 50 that I love. All are pretty solid, and cast great. Fun to fish with.

G Loomis GLX 843c MBR in-depth review
I have multiples of the 843 MBR in old IMX, IMX-Pro, and GLX. They are my favorite rods, along with the 844 (IMX-Pro and GLX) and the 852 JWR (IMX-Pro and GLX)

New Daiwa Tatula Elite Rods for 2023??
Have you seen the rods already? I haven't been able to find anything about them.

Daiwa Zillion
My favorite reel! The Zillion SV tw G is great at everything. Doesn't feel any different after fishing it really hard, still feels new. I have both JDM and USA versions, and can't tell the difference .

New Daiwa Tatula Elite Rods for 2023??
I never liked the all silver/grey look. Great rods though.

Shimano stuff
I had two of them a 7 and 8 speed. Both were incredible for 1.5 seasons. I loved them, then both became rough and I couldn't get them back to new smooth after cleaning, greasing, changing bearings. I switched to Alphas SV's to replace them on the same rods and haven't had an issue. The Alphas don't cast quite as far, but are better reels IMO and much less expensive.

Shimano 1.20.23??
That's a funky jam they used for that video!
-
Swim jigs
I agree. They also work vertically to look like a bluegill tail fin profile.

My new reel: Johncoo Ares

6.8" Keitech VS 6" Magdraft comparison
How would you say these compare to each other while fishing them? I regularly use the 6.8" Keitech on a 6/0 beast hook, and catch some big fish on them. I haven't tried the magdraft yet. I would be using an 8/0 beast on the 6" magdraft, which is weighted 3/8, vs the 1/4oz on the 6/0 beast hook. Would you say the action is different enough try the magdraft out? Thanks

Closest dobyns rod to the Shimano 6'10" med action
Another recommendation for the Champion 704 CB rod. It's a great rod, with a nice tip for jerkbaits, small square bills, and flat sides.
