Daiwa Aird X casting rod info needed.
That's what my 7' MH/F is dedicated to...moving baits. I have a Fury 704C for bottom contact (T-Rigs, Jigs, etc) and swim jigs.

From my experience with a 7' H/F, 7' MH/F and two 6'6" M/F Aird-X rods...they're a little softer in the tip (more a MF-F than a true F) but the power seems accurate.- Winter 2021/22
Got you both beat. -17 here currently.- Daiwa Aird X casting rod info needed.
I've got 4 - but two have been replaced by Furys for boat fishing and are now shore-fishing rods.- Organize Used Baits

I've been working the last couple weeks when I can. Got the main part of the sub-floor framed in, and now I'm cutting and fitting Styrofoam preparatory to doing the pour-foam.- Fantasy Fishing 2022 - Official Thread
I forget what my percentage was last year - but I placed 17th for the BR group. Not too shabby for my first outing...- Possible Fluorocarbon suggestions
I know there's people here who don't use it on InvizX and have no issues...it's just a thing with me that I use it.- Possible Fluorocarbon suggestions
Sean, I tried Red Label myself a few years ago and hated it...ran away from FC because of that. I do like InvizX on the spinning gear...KVD might not be needed, but I use it on all my non-braid line anyway.- Possible Fluorocarbon suggestions
Keeping inside, away from sunlight and temperature extremes - no noticeable difference will be felt. This should be the norm for all monofilament lines - Nylon (what most people think of when you talk Mono), Flourocarbon and Hybrid.- SLX MGL paired with a Dobyns FR733c
While the Fury 733 is labeled as 'Medium-Heavy', it's line/lure stats are more in line with 'Medium'. I consider my Fury 703 'Medium-Heavy' as a medium and use it as such.- Possible Fluorocarbon suggestions
I've had issues with FC lines in the past, but a couple have been good to me I have InvizX in 6# and 8# on a couple spinning rigs. Using KVD, it's not given me any trouble. I have 15# Tatsu on my bottom contact rig (Fury 704/Patriarch 7.1:1) and it's also been very well behaved. Got the spool of line as a gifting. I'd say if you want to dish out the money, Tatsu is about as good as it gets, but for those of us more budget conscious, InvizX is a great second choice.- Daiwa Aird X casting rod info needed.
I've been running a 7' Aird-X MH/F as my moving baits rod for a couple years now. With braid, I can feel the vibration of a chatterbait as it moves through the water. I would look up a bit for a T-Rig...or any bottom contact...rod. I have a Fury 704C for that application.- Tournament entitlement?
I just looked over 2021 (through mid-October) boating fatalities report from the DNR One time, they were wearing their PFD - but they were hit by a PWC...injuries from that caused the death. Another - they fell off the front of a pontoon and were hit by the propeller. Rest of them - drowning, and none of them were wearing their PFD. 15 people died because they couldn't bother to be 'encumbered'. https://files.dnr.state.mn.us/education_safety/safety/boatwater/accident_summary21.pdf- Tournament entitlement?
It's the paddleboards that pass within 10' of you...they got a swimsuit on, a paddle in hand...and nothing else on that board. So ya, they're illegal.- Tournament entitlement?
I've seen a bunch who don't even have one with them...so that's how I took it.- Tournament entitlement?
In Minnesota, it's required Paddleboarding and Minnesota law There must be a United States Coast Guard approved life jacket, either worn or on board, for each person. Children younger than 10 years old must wear a properly fitted lifejacket.- Have you heard of this yet?
I saw it a bit ago - my first thought was, "Why aren't any of these things held somewhat close to me?" Oh well, maybe someone else here will get a chance.- Echomap data sharing?
Waypoints are user data. Also, if you use the Quickdraw software on the unit to create a map of a lake that's not already mapped...that's user data. - Daiwa Aird X casting rod info needed.
