Can’t believe no one put a Ned rig. By far my favorite type of bait to fish. Probably Slim swimz and Ticklerz are my 2 faves. I broke my PB this year on a 1/32 mule jig (mushroom jig head) and a 2in zman grubz all on a light action rod brought in a 6.2lb bass:)

What brand grease do you find works best ? What should I clean the reeL with if it’s been exposed to saltwater? Do you recommend oil or grease on the main shaft for a spinning reel? Have you ever used Corrosion X grease

Have seen a couple posts on servicing reels and was wondering what parts of the reel do you use oil on vs what parts do you use grease on? I fish both saltwater and freshwater and use TSI 321 for oil but hadn’t used grease before and was wondering what grease you recommend. And where to use it. Thanks again for any insight you can provide. @Delaware Valley Tackle

Soooo true, for a company this big to have such a crappy inventory management system is ridiculous

So far much smoother and quieter. I haven’t fully broken it in though

Took the Coastal SV out today and was blown away with how smooth it is and how great it casts. So far I would say it is better than my 2020 SV in every way. If anyone is in the fence I would definitely recommend the Coastal SV

Coastal SV looks great on my champion XP. Wasn’t sure I would like such a bright blue reel but it looks really slick. The reel feels really nice casting a plug around the yard. Definitely pitches nicer than the 2020 SV from my couple yard casts I did

Over a mountain

What’s the weight of the Coastal SV spool. I’m surprised that the elite would cast light lures better than a SV spool

Anyone have any experience on the Bellows Gill from Geecrack. Looks really neat

I don’t have any of the Elites so I can’t comment on those. I just really enjoy the ease of casting with the SV spool. It has made learning a baitcaster soooo easy.

Pretty much what most people have said to me about the Tatula Sv is the best $200 or less reel. It was my first reel and made learning baitcasters super easy. I figure the coastal will be similar with better line capacity for about the same price

Does it have a soft tip? What’s the lightest baits you throw on it

Could you toss into cover (Lilly pads) with this? Just wondering if it’s a true Heavy power. I find my Bucoo Sr MH more like a Med. Also how sensitive is the rod

Hi all was trying to get some advice on the Falcon lowrider 20 Amistad heavy power rod (older made in USA version). My local tackle shop has one on clearance for $75. Wondering how it fishes and what lures people use on it? Could you throw a s-waver 168 on it. Is it good for pitching flipping frogs, etc. does it has a soft tip? Thanks for any advice.

How do these compare to the 2020 tatula sv? Trying to decide between the 2, I already have the SV. Using it for a workhorse reel. Is it worth the extra money

Where are you getting the old SV@$135? That’s a great deal

Should go to local tackle shop and see if they have a clearance section. I’ve gotten Daiwa Tatula and a Falcon Bucoo SR for 50% off. You can also look for sales. I know scheels just had SLX rods for half off. Just be patient and the right rod will come along.

Just use braid with a leader. I don’t have any line twist issues using 15#smackdown to 8#mono

This is one thing I really love about Dobyns that you can actually talk to the owner of the company and get a pro anglers opinion and also the fact that he doesn’t choose the most expensive rod and gives you his honest opinion This is one thing I really love about Dobyns that you can actually talk to the owner of the company and get a pro anglers opinion and also the fact that he doesn’t choose the most expensive rod and gives you his honest opinion

Anyone else surprised that more stores aren’t doing bigger sales? I think Dobyns was smart to unload inventory with the 40% off sale I’m just really surprised other stores haven’t tried to unload inventory just in case this lasts longer than everyone thinks

I would do a 1/16oz Berkley half head jig(best Ned rig head out there) with a Zman TRD or Ticklerz in green pumpkin or June bug. It is a phenomenal multi species bait and just plain catches fish. The Ned rig is my favorite rig to throw

This is how I learned to remove a birds nest in a baitcaster. Phenomenal video

Dobyns is doing 40% off all there rods right now you could get 703sf (3 power spinning rod in any series) and it would handle most of everything you would want to throw. Go to sportsman’s outfitters and use code “DOBYNSFORTY” and they do free shipping. Good luck

On sportsman’s outfitters they are having a sale on all Dobyns rods use code “DOBYNSFORTY” and you can get free shipping. Should get a fury 734c
