I got on there and had no issue adding items to the cart.

I don't mind fishing in the rain, sometimes everybody leaves and then you have the lake to yourself. I'll fish in the rain anytime there isn't a monsoon condition or tornadic winds/lightning.

Picked up some baits on a 25% discount.

If you went with the Tatula 150 the reel will have more line capacity then any of the SV reels, the 150 will also be about 1oz heavier overall. Some of the newer Daiwa Tatula 100 have 7:1:1 ratio, where some of the Tatula CT models are 7:3:1. Some of the newer Daiwa reels are also little lighter. I don't throw any big lures, large majority of my lures I throw are up to 1/2oz lures. I don't think lure weight matters so much on the reel, lure weight would depend on the rod/line weight. The Tatula SV reels I have are 6:3:1 & 7:3:1 reels. I've never used the 8:1:1. Both of those ratio's cover everything I need them for. The higher speed gear ratio you loose some power/torque.

I have a few of the Tatula SV reels also, they get the job done.

I would take a look at the new Daiwa Tatula 100 7:1:1, it would be a good reel ratio for a variety of lures.

I ordered a EFX Pro from them a couple weeks ago, I only ordered it because they had it in stock and on discount price & free shipping/returns. I have never tried or owned a EDGE rod so I thought I'd give it a try since they have the free returns. They did send me the free return the next day that I decided that I wanted to return the rod. Haven't received my refund yet, so I hope I receive it next week or give EDGE a call. I wasn't impressed at all with the build quality, the butt on the rod wasn't finished very well so the carbon really dug into my arm, several guides were out of alignment and rod was really tip heavy. I like the look of the rod but that was about it. I own other rods for half the price with better build quality/in hand feeling/balanced. With all that said, I wouldn't recommend their rods.

I'm in, pm heading your way.

Start casting, you will find out right away. It will be either dry or it will be just enough lube from my experience on Daiwa reels. If you aren't happy how it sounds take it back to the store and get a different one. The other thing I would recommend is taking off the side plate to apply a very thin coat of oil on the spool shaft and drip of oil in the bearings if you know how to do that since it doesn't have the ceramic bearings on the newest Tatula 100.

Picked up a pair of Powell Max rods, got $60.00 off each rod. I couldn't say no.

I would say clean/lube yourself if you have the tools & ability, otherwise I would just buy a new one since it isn't a very expensive reel.

I had a new JDM Daiwa Tatula reel that was noisy not long after I purchased it, I just had to ship it to Daiwa Service. They repaired/shipped the reel for free even though it was a JDM reel which was probably 5-6 year ago.

Mend-It first and after that I'll wash the old soft plastics with dish soap and let them dry. Then I'll separate all my colors and put them in storage bags. Once I have enough soft plastics accumulated over a couple seasons I'll re-melt them and I'll inject them into a couple molds that I have. It is just something I can do in the winter to keep my fishing itch somewhat sane.

I almost always have a stick bait on a rod. I don't buy Senko's, but I do buy BPS Stik-O.

I've caught plenty of fish on both brands, first thing I do out of the package is replace the hooks. I like Chrome, Bone, Black but you can probably catch them on any color.

I have a couple of the KLX rods 7ft MH/7'3 MH that I purchased in 2020 at the end when they were still using Northfork Composite blanks. I can tell you that I fish these 2 rods the most in my lineup and have not had any problems with them. The fit/finish on their rods are great and assembled in Texas. I know they are using different blanks now since I've owned mine and power ratings are a little different.

They work really good on Wiper's too..?

Black/Blue, White, Junebug, Chartreuse,Green Pumpkin are my main colors in Nebraska, most of the water clarity I fish is less that 2ft clarity.

I've been doing well with spinnerbaits and jigs. I was throwing a Zoom Fluke last week, I was cutting part of the tail off and inserted a willow blade tail spinner. I was surprised how good it worked, landed 7 fish in about 15 minutes.
