I've always liked the build quality and overall performance of shimano baitcasters. I've been looking at daiwa lately and really like the look and feel of the tatula 100. I do not like the traditional magnetic brakes on a lot of reels but the research I've done tells me the magforce z is bot a traditional magnetic brake. I loves centrifugal brakes but what is everyone's opinion between the 2.

Itll have to be the retrieve angle. I have been kayak fishing a certain set of bluffs. I cast from right to left and then retrieve it back. Reels are both new, one has fluro and one has mono

They both do. I made a point to do long bomb carts and they still do it.

I have 2 shimano curado k's. Both of them have more line layed on the crank side. I have hooked a stump and walked them all the way back to the knot and reeled them back in with the same results. They are brand new reels. Has anyone had this issue before? I kayak fish mostly and I cast right to left at an angle and usually retrieve at an angle. Would this cause the uneven line lay? Both lay line closest to the crank.

I had the sit in version when I lived in missouri and fished table rock lake but had to leave it when I moved to arizona. This is my first sit on top kayak and was wondering what everyone's opinion and experience is with the ascend fs10t. I will be mainly fishing sarguaro, bartlett and sometimes rosevelt lakes.

Looking at adding 2 new rods, a spinning medium and a baitcasting m/h. Between the abu veritas and the st croix mojo bass, who has the better blank, better sensitivity, build quality etc. Thanks!

I've been looking at a few of these lures in the lipless and squarebill variety and was wondering how the durability of the paint job is. I've read a few reviews that say they are great baits, but the paint jobs chip off very easily. For those who own and use them, is this true? How do you like them?

I have heard good things about this line and am looking at something cheaper than sunline sniper fc. This line will be strung across different rods and reels in different weights for different things (topwater, crankbaits, ned rigs, dropshotting, swimbaits, jerkbaits etc) for those who have used this line, what do you think and is it a good all around line for the above mentioned things.

I'm looking at getting some more expensive rods, but the ones I like have cork handles. I've always gotten eva foam because I think itll last longer. Has anyone used u40 cork sealer, and if so, does it keep the cork from splitting, pitting, and shrinking?

I got to hold a fenwick hmg next to a veritas and bass x and,,,, the hmg was an amazing feeling rod, why dont you like the bass. If I may ask, I'm also a huge st croix fan, but I have their more expensive rods

I just picked up another shomano curado k 7.4.1 to go along with the 6.2.1 I already have on a 7ft mh/f abu vendetta. I'm looking at either the abu veritas or the st croix bass x, 7ft mh/f. What's everyone's experience and opinions on the veritas and bass x and which would you choose. This will mainly be an all around type rod for jerkbaits and jigs. Thanks for y'alls time!

I got the tatula 150 in the mail today anddd,,,,,,, it will definitely be going back. It is smooth, I will give it that, but it has a lot of rattle, the line guide is super loose,,,, and it just does bot have the feel of quality that the curado k has. Looks like I will be picking up another curado k or tranx 200.

A 150 would work just fine, I will have to change the title, thanks for the recamendation!

I'm looking to add another baitcaster to the mix. I already own a shimano curado k 200, and was looking at picking up a daiwa tatula 200 ( I could get another curado k, but I like variety if it is as good or better of a reel in the 200 range) what do you guys think of the tatula over the curado k, ( brake preference/performance, build quality and longevity) this will be for bass fishing

I grew up on spinning rods, and prefer them. I have a stradic fk2500 for my finesse tactics for largemouth, but, if I wanted to get a setup to run as my do all jig/crankbait etc. (Essientally replacing a baitcaster) Stuff, would you recamend a 3000 or 4000 stradic fk. Itll be paired with a m/h fast 7 foot pole and I'll be running 10 or 12 pound fluro.
