I would only read line reviews for a laugh. Everyone is so hyperbolic in reviews.

Daiwa Tatula Elite 6'9" dock skipping rod is killer!

Dipping into my first Kayak, went with the F10. I'm going to be using it with a trolling motor. I used a friends last year for a day and was blown away with how stable they are. It wasn't a fast boat, but paddled pretty well. I added the anchor trolly system, motor mount support, and a paddle to start with. Anyone who has this boat recommend any other of the stuff they offer? I wanted to start with this gear, and see what I might want to add after fishing it a while.

The 2021 F12 boats have added support to prevent any hull flex. The F10 hasn't changed in the 2021 model

Would you say the MLF Feather is a similar rod to the 852 Loomis? Maybe more similar to a 842 MBR?

For cutting through weeds original PP would be best.

Hello Is that insert different than the grippy foam that comes on the newer NuCanoe frontiers?

Got it That link does have lots of rods down to $130 too

It is a new rod line, in the $180-$220 range. Read it for yourself. Not sure why you’re complaining, they seem like it will be an interesting, made in the USA line of rods.

This new series will be manufactured in the USA.

I'm still waiting to see the "picture's" of the spelling errors printed on the rod.

For your specific question regarding 3/8oz finesse jigs. I would recommend either an 843c MBR or 853c JWR loomis rod. I throw a 1/4 and 3/8oz jig on these rods all the time, and I can't think of better rods for the application. I use braid to 12 or 15lb a leader depending on the cover.

If you're ok with ordering from Japan, you can get a Bantam MGL for $250. One of the best reels out there.

Which models? I have two Corzza spinning rods I love.

I was looking at the new Phenix feather L or ML. Any opinion on these rods?

What makes it your favorite?

Hello Thinking of dipping my toes into Diawa JDM the world. Would a Daiwa 19 Alphas SV tw be a good place to start. I found a nice one for around $250. What type of uses would this reel be good for? Is it more than just a light bait reel? Thx

Don't pass up the the 3" Cb paddle tail grub! Great bait.

Best possible answer

Is it an 894C GLX? the letters are for bass casting flipping rod.

I agree with the other responses. I do however think it would be cool to throw an 1/8 to 5/16 spinnerbait. I have two Loomis 852c JWR and they are some of my favorite rods to use. Great for weightless senko, small jigs (1/8-5/16), poppers, light T rigs are great on it almost always 1/8 and 3/16 and a 3.5" beaver, and 3.5" swimbaits.

For four Loomis rods I would pick these: 1-852c JWR 1-853C JWR 1-843c MBR 1-844c MBR You can get a lot done with these 4! This is my rig , plus I add a spinning setup too.

I regularly use 20lb 832 and have never had that issue. I’ve caught some 7 and 8lb catfish too. Plenty of 3-4lb bass too. Maybe be you reel in loose line?

You did catch me in time! A few days ago I used a lighter just like you mentioned, worked great. I'm still waiting for my guide to arrive.

Some lakes I fish have lots of different types of areas, so in open rocky areas I use lighter gear, when I get to weedy areas I use heavier stuff, and by the laydowns/flooded timber I breakout the next step heavier stuff. So I usually bring 6-7 when by myself and 5-6 with a partner in my small boat. It also changes throughout the seasons too.
