MiceNReets

Good day everyone!! looking for suggestions for an UL or L casting rod. Hoping to cast evergreen gizmos, Megabass karashi’s and micro chatterbaits, micro jigs, ned rigs… blah blah blah… I have this daiwa PX-R sitting here not getting used and I have the PX68 finesse spool to use with it. Thinking I’ll use 8lbs braid. I like the reel but I have yet to find a rod to compliment it. I’ve had a couple ML rods for it but I felt they were underwhelming and didn’t perform as I had hoped however they were lower range rods so I’m thinking I need to go somewhat higher end. But really I don’t know. With Black Friday sales going up, been thinking maybe I should take a peak what’s out there. Open to any price range or difference suggestions in various price ranges. Also would consider finding something on the Japanese auctions for a decent price… after all that… I look forward to all your suggestions. Thanks!!

the cool factor!!

im pretty sure i asked you before. Where do you order these bearings from in Japan?

SLX DC XT is iDC5

I’m in Canada. But the bill always came from fedex.

I’ve order from JLS a bunch and they’ve always used fedex. A month later I get a customs and service bill from them so watch for that.

don’t be silly. Get another one.

Decided I wanted to get a used reel to try repainting as a winter project. Found a 2017 Scorpion DC that looked rough shape in the pictures. Cost me $28 off the auctions. Arrived yesterday in a huge tube. I thought something was up with the shipping cost but figured maybe it had something to do with shipping overseas to Canada now. Then paid $29 customs and service fees. Anyways…. turns out the guy shipped me out the reel on a 1st Gen Poison Adrena Rod in excellent condition.

Such a tiny reel. Palms like a dream…. If dreams can be palmed

I would 100% get one. I have a couple and they are one of my fav reels. They shouldn’t even have the slx name as they’re much more above that. They cast a mile and palm extremely well and are smooth as glass. I don’t need DC braking so it wasn’t appealing to me however I was curious how it was because on paper it looked great. You won’t be disappointed. I use them as much as my Zillion SV reels if not more and I like it a lot better than my 2019 Antares 70. (But FishTank knows my frustrations with that reel)

Ain’t the Canadian market grand??

Couldn’t have said it better myself…. Again. LoL

Just not on the rods I was using lol. And I know it’s legit so I wanted to use the tat 80 and 100 for the season. I didn’t even use my steez’s much.

I think they’re both excellent. I have barely used my ‘21 zillion SV this summer and as much as I like that reel, I wouldn’t be upset if I had only these tatulas to use from now on. They’ve held up very well.

Let me guess. You like your gears buzzy? And unfortunate for you, shimanos micro module gears are rock solid and don’t buzz.

I agree with this

does it bother you that much? The OP was happy to share his experience. …….. happy to hear it worked out and peace and balance has been restored. It’s nice when companies step up and correct mistakes hassle free.

Id like to suggest the Evergreen Combat Stick “Showerblows & Moving Baits” casting rod. Excellent for swim jigs 👍🏼 or the St Croix Victory “the Grunt” no experience with the rods you found though

It’s like Franks Hot Sauce…. I put that #%@! On everything as well.

Maybe the threading on the crankshaft is the issue? As you tighten it, the square nuts threads cross thread further down? Does that make sense??

It’s a Doyowa…. (Since I can’t put a little laughing face on my own post. This will have to do. )
