Bandersnatch

I’m not intending on running my 15 year old charger on the lithium. I was intending for low to leave the dual pro (15 year old charger) with one lead conntexted to my giant x2 cranking battery and then use a dedicated 36v 10 or 20 amp lithium charger for my single lithium battery. What I don’t want is my standard 15-20amp breaker tripping because I’ve plugged in two chargers. It sounds like people, like me, aren’t sure how much their chargers actually pull from the outlet. Okay, take cheap out of it, how many amps does your noco charger pull from the outlet and how many amps is that charger overall and per bank? Buying a charger that will do a 12v arm and a 36v lithium is not what I’m willing to spend right now

for example two different boats (friend and mine) with two different chargers I have a dual pro 2009 ranger 40amp four bank (10 amp per bank i suppose) He has a pro mariner pro tournament 36 amp four bank I'm removing my 3 lead acids and going with one 36v lithium and I'm going to likely keep my old dual pro for now and purchase a cheap 36v charger. What I don't understand is how many AMPS from the outlet (110v) that the chargers actually pull. In a specific situation (canada trip) I have to pull off of one single 15 or 20 (can't remember) amp outlet. Obviously a 15 amp outlet can't pull more than 15 constant amps otherwise the breaker would trip Question If I'm using the dual pro 4 bank with only one lead I assume it's only going to pull enough for 10 amps for that battery but what actually amps from the outlet will it be pulling? The same goes for my other charger which we will say will be a 20amp 36v charger. How many constant amps from the outlet will it pull ? Is the charger the one upping the amps? Point is, I don't want this 15-20amp breaker constantly tripping.

Agreed, has to have both

Expride 73xh

This is such a fan way to get big bites in the summer.

Bumping this for anyone that can help me locate a part that will fit, even if it's a different color. Currently, his reel is out of service.

Do you know which would fit the bates, daiwa or Shimano?

Would a daiwa handle fit? Any other sub $60 handle recommendations? can you buy the daiwa paddle handles and or something similar economically to the ones linked above. ? https://tackletrap.com/products/daiwa-tatula-100mm-gunmetal-handle-assembly as always, any advice is appreciated

Thank you, I’ll take a look. I have been interested in that newer golf Lewis reel

The alphas and thus that tatula frame just doesn’t do it for me. Something about it being flat. The other problem with this is that the bates looks to be using a very similar frame to the alphas and thus tatula 80. it’s the roundness of the steez ct sv that is perfect. The last problem with the bates is its price. That’s steez jdm pricing to me. It’s hard to buy a bates over a steez. Just give me a steez ct sv frame with a spool that holds a little more line.

Image size app works well and is free

I’m looking for any comparisons as I don’t love the zillion frame. Love the reel but I do much prefer a 70ish sized frame with a 100 sized spool. Does anybody know the differences and if the new tstula sv or 100 is smaller in hand than the zillion and if so how much bigger tham the stees ct sv

My son dropped his in the lake. Plat says the production has ended. ALPHAS SV TW 20 ALPHAS SV TW 800XHL LEFT Part number 59. also, do all the other variants like the shallow spool and air have the same side plate ?

I own two conquests 844c’s. While I know they are capable of pitching up to a 3/4 ounce Texas rig that is the top end for an already mushy tip rod. Don’t get me wrong, it works and can work well if having some mush and soft tip is your thing but I wouldn’t throw a 3/4 ounce jig and trailer on it as my first priority. It would be good for paddle tails. I hear the glx844c is more powerful than the conquest. The conquest great, just not a great “heavy” jig rod. I’d look toward something more like a steez power pitch , expride/ adrena 72H, bottom contact rod, 873c id guess has more power than the 844c conquest. Also, this conquest 844c weighs 4.2oz, it’s extremely light. I have a steez ct on it, weighing a totsl of 9.5 oz. This rod likes a light reel in my opinion.

I have the same charger and a monster of an x2 cranking battery that I still need to charge. Prices on 36v 100ah lithium’s are hard to beat though. My lead acids could make it the season but they are so. Solid state won’t be out in a year and I’d imagine they will be very expensive for awhile.

Do we think batteries such as 12 & 36v 55-100ah lithium’s are going to continue to drop in price ? Trying to decide wether to buy now vs 3 months from now .

The vmc crossover rings save me tons of money.

Did you like it ?

Can we all agree that the met 70 isn’t a 70? Hell, it’s a 150. They have done everything possible to keep making money on that sub par frame. Yes it’s solid, yes it soulless, yes they have made the 150, the 100, the 100s? And now the 70. Make a new reel. Very few people want a 70 sized spool in a 150 frame.

Wouldn’t the 73mh adren (gen 2) be a good swim jig rod ?

Thanks Scott. I’m not set on staying with the lil magnum as my swim jig but do feel like it might be able to do both with it. I love the lethal weapon 4 swim jigs but they don’t come in 3/4 and this lil magnum works great for pitiching. I do wish you could still get revenge swim jigs. We shall see how it works. Does anybody pitch a swim jig with a swim bait trailer just like they’d flip a craw? I imagine many do

Think heat of the summer Canada. Deep milfol mixed with other grass. Some pockets of grass types all the way to surface but there’s lots of drop offs as deep as 12-14 ft. What jog color are you throwing ? More dark green pumpkins or do you like a little chartreuse and white? Or, is it too irrelevant and thus I’ll just buy green pumpkin. These will like be pitched in 1/2 & 3/4 into pockets, edges and swam in and out with something like a smaller d walker, craw or even straight tail. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Beast_Coast_Tungsten_Lil_Magnum_Jig/descpage-LMJ.html

You can get away with as light as a regular old zillion g from Japan (6.2oz) as long as you’re using 18lb or less flouro or braid leader. The chad shad is easy to throw. could use anything , slx xt, curado 150, met, tatula 100, 150, Nothing special needed. I love the 73xh Exprides and have several of them. With that said, I do think the rod is slightly over powered for any treble hook. You’ll likely bend out the hooks pretty easily. I added a few 7’7 heavy exprides to my line up because they can do anything. They are awesome for frogging but are soft enough to throw anything . I really like throwing the chad shad on the 7’7 h with a zillion g with either 16-18 lb shooter or 50lb braid to 20-25 (16-20 normal diameter) gold label leader. With braid to leader on moving baits I like to throw something smooth such as 131 or silent braid

Me too. The casting models are meh to me. 7.6 oz Antares… aldebaran still holds too little line. And we gained a half ounce in weight on the Aldebaran over the current usdm model for less line capacity and a dc that isn’t really needed. I’m cranky and I know they are different markets: I guess I just hoped for something that fit my needs. To me this is easily decided in the weight of the reel thus the rod you were putting it on. The Antares weighes two full ounces more than the Steez. That’s like comparing the Aldebaran to the Bantam.

I’d love to see the specs
