I have couple 25lb drag for swim baiting (large baits).

Well desereved.

I have a 300 for my XH travel combo and it is very nice reel. I just one day during striper fishing, had no drag experience (lost drag) in cold which after sharing the issue here experts said it could be my braid slipping around spool or someone said cold can does that to TranX. Anyways after fixing my line and respelling I didnt have that issue with it anymore. I am happy with it and planing to get a 400 size as well.

I am using 4lb InvizX with #4 and #2 Daiitchii red hooks depending if I nose hook or not. If I am around any type of cover, Ill do 8lb test.

I was watching and reading about new IMZ reel by Daiwa which have new breaking tech, I saw the clips see the lights and app to connect the reel to your phone(yes apparently can control the reel by phone), And so many thing more. And when you think thats the end of it, Something like this will surface. I am not against anything they do, But honestly lights and bluetooth connection to phone for reels? Anyways I am happy for all Daiwa fans to have something unique after 20 years.

I have same Germine 4 but mine is VC, They are awesome. I am using it for my float tube but I think you got it for ice fishing.

p -line cxx 15 and your reel is perfect.

Dont look no more Seaguar InvizX is the best for spinning and depending on your cover Tatsu and AbrazX Best for casting .

Yes I have seen those but I really never touch that, I use factory setting(which is recommended by factory). But they are cool part for who want to mess with it

Thank you so much @garroyo130, I really was in market for a 68 and the line is perfect as well.

Great catch on awesome set up.

All day and I am not kidding. God honest truth.

When I go bank fishing I always bring my three cheap combos, There is always possibility of something going wrong. And here they are. 1-Dobyns Champion XP 610 H with Metanium DC reel. 2- 13 fishing 7'1" MH with 13 Z reel. 3A-Dobyns Champion XP 807 With Abu Toro Beast. or(Depending of what kind of fishing I am doing that day) 3B-Curado 805 with Curado DC reel.

Hi, I am planing to go there chasing Striper, Anyone knows the place and can advice?

Since expensive rods have better sensitivity, Any thing like jig fishing and dropshot bottom contact, when you want to know the fish breath on your bait.

I am going to share this with my friends. so funny....

depending on situation, I always go as light as possible, And for sure I use lead and cheapest one even if I can use split shots. you going to loose that weight left and right so go cheap.

No, My salt waters and slow jigs and M1 only. No feather.
