five-bites

I like it but needs more ultrex I used to really despise jet skis but after the wake boats came along (especially on table rock) jet skis don’t bother me nearly as much.

Nah no grass around here

I hope this particular one was a fluke but it twisted my mono like crazy. Keep in mind I fished it almost exclusively Saturday on a 7ish hour trip. If I let my line go slack it twisted terribly. I’ll buy some more and see if it persists. A swivel will fix it but I’d really rather not add any weight to the front of it.

Bps is getting quite a bit of the Cabela’s bargain cave stuff in their outlet. I’ve recently taken advantage of this

So far I’ve found that sportsmansoutfitters and alpha2omega sellers work with the coupon

Apparently very selected sellers for jumpintofall

Happen to have the code? I’m not seeing it on my eBay app ***nevermind it just popped up***

It’s almost like it needs a heavier hook up front to keel it better but because of the slow start up I don’t want to add weight if I can help it. Thanks for the heads up about the swivels. I’ll be buying some of those.

The 75 still twists line. I had to add a swivel which I hated. Also I wish it didn’t take several feet for it to come up and start making noise. It’s almost like it needs to be lighter. Otherwise I really like the 75 and will probably have one on until winter.

Don’t do it. Repair it and buy tackle.

Hmmmm I’m still not seeing it. Do they have a banner?

I’m betting the 15% was it because they have the 20% justrelax code until 9/3. Hopefully I’m wrong though.

Ymmv but my local academy has alx righty’s for $99

That’s what I was hoping to hear.

I’d assume an epoxy finish would work. Personally I’d use a rod building one like flexcoat. If you want to do a bunch and want a hard finish bar top epoxy is very durable

I’m another big costa fan

I have tossed around buying one for windy conditions considering their size and the commotion they make. Do they run reliably in rough water?

This is a copy/paste from another forum I replied to on the dc. I’ll add though I’ve had the biggest line blow ups I’ve had in years on this reel. It takes some getting used to for me anyway. I’ll also add that I’m a Daiwa guy that is adding Shimanos to my collection. It does palm really well. I’m actually surprised how it and the k feel considering their capacity. So so far I’ve mostly thrown a big worm with flourocarbon on it. Obviously not a skipping bait. When I have been around shallow stuff and did pitch the worm I was impressed with how well it pitches and not really skip but slide the worm. One day I’ll put on a jig and really test the skipping ability on it but nevertheless it’s exceded my expectations on short line stuff so far. Now also know that it does take some adjusting on the spool tension to get it dialed to your liking. The casting into a wall stuff while not thumbing is bull crap. You still need your thumb when the lure stops, as you’d expect with any reel. I have had some over runs when I didn’t expect them but that was setting the spool as loose as possible on the tension basically. It’s fun to use and cast very free like if that makes sense. Hope that helps.

I use flouro with spinnerbaits but braid with buzzbaits lol. I guess I’d braid works for one it should work for the other but I’ve always preferred a little stretch.

I’d say definitely especially with braid as has been mentioned. The main complaint I’d have would be when roll casting around targets. I’d much prefer a faster action. Otherwise for general use though you’d be good to go.

I’ll add squarebills too but without knowing the power I can’t say for sure.
