  1. I certainly will. Did you even read my original post? I clearly stated that I personally went in with a broken bag to get it replaced. They informed me the warranty was recalled by Bass Pro.
  2. I went to cabelas to return a bag and the guy at the counter told me the lifetime warranty was cancelled by bass pro.
  3. The ct type r is the upgraded version of the type r. I have it and it's worth the extra 20$ over the fuego.
  4. No, I was actually wondering. I ended up going for the Sierra.
  5. None of those, you can get a Daiwa Fuego ct for $60 on ebay, and a Dobyns fury for $110 pretty much anywhere. This is a much better combo than you listed and cheaper too. Highly recommend you go this route.
  6. I'm stuck between a Dobyns Sierra 734 or a Megabass Levante 7'2 diablo spec r. I can get them both for $120, and I was wondering which one you guys would prefer for jigs and t rigs?
  7. https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-2017-Daiwa-Fuego-CT-7-3-1-Casting-Reel-FGCT100HS/272610084090?epid=566108388&hash=item3f78d3c4fa:g:R34AAOSwm7pZyreu $60! Sold from American Legacy Fishing.
  8. Wow! I like that you put all your plastics in Plano boxes, I might have to start doing that to eliminate all the loose bags that lie everywhere and get disorganized!
  9. You can get a Daiwa Tatula Ct type r on Ebay from TriaceTackle for $100, I have one and it is a magnificent reel. I much prefer to it my Curado K, and it has more control and more distance than the slx, (which I also have and use regularly).
  10. Hey guys, I am looking for a new jig rod/t rig rod, between the two which one would you get? I can get them both at a very good price. Also any other recommendations are welcome.

  12. Overall it's a great reel, but I personally prefer the Daiwa Fuego.
  13. Your spool tension is way to tight, that reel is supposed to have a loser spool tension and rely more on your brakes. I have that same reel and I cant bomb a clipless crank 50 yards+
  14. If your leader is so long that it goes past the line guide it's to long, no need for a leader over a few foot unless fushing super deep. So no it shouldn't be an issue. If you di have a knot going through the line guide it can get caught up occasionally.
  15. 25 lbs braid is pretty light for flipping, I'd go to 40 at least. The tatulas are amazing and one of the best in their price point.
  16. I'd buy an Endurance based off aesthetics alone!
  17. In those conditions I think you'll have your best luck on the couch in front if the fire.
  18. I absolutely love what you did with that box, I'll be doing a copying that box when I get the time, it looks amazing!
  19. I usually put it down when fishing.
  20. Hi, So I am in the market for a new fishing backpack, as my last one retired. Any recommendations? I'm looking for something less than $75, and I know a lot of you bank fisherman will have some good recommendations.
  21. My favorite reel and I had the exact same experience as you. Absolutely love it! For my first pricey baitcaster it was absolutely amazing, I paired it with a Dobyns Firy 733 and it balances perfectly.
  22. Got my first fish off a spinnerbait the other day! Probably one of the last fish of the season for me, the waters gonna be freezing soon and I have the flu ?
  23. What would you choose? I'm not in the market for a new rod and reel. I'm just curious what the more experienced folks would choose if they had to start from scratch.
