Retrieval time
He’s not wrong, the best thing you can do is experiment and see what the fish like. If throwing it slow isn’t working then speed up and vice versa.

Ned rig rod <$150
The Shimano Curado 6’10 ml is fantastic for ned rigs if you don’t mind tip heavy rods.

Baitcasting reels
I was in the exact same position as you. I went the with the Tatula and my dad got the K a few weeks later. They both perform great but the K doesn’t do as well with baits under 3/8 oz, it also doesn’t skip baits as well. The K outcasts the Tatula but not by much. After a year of pretty hard use with both the K is still smooth as the day I got it, whilst the Tatula isn’t nearly as smooth. If I had to buy one again I’d definitely go with the K.

Baitcasting reels
Stick with daiwa and Shimano. If you intend to throw lighter baits the Daiwa will be better. If you know you won’t go under 3/8 oz then the Curado will be best.

SLX DC!?
Agreed, it’s just a super comfortable reel to fish all day. I’ll definitely pick up the DC at some point.
