I never know where to start 😕

Yeah. I’m just bugging you. I wouldn’t be upset if the new zillion was the new tatula frame. I really like the new tatula 100 a lot. It’s very well made. Comfortable to hold and just works dang great. So if your prediction is correct. I approve this message

I guess I’m out of my mind. Love using a 2018 bantam for jerkbaits over my steez sv Standards… shmandards…. If you can’t lift an 8oz reel we got real world problems.

What line are you using?

Jackhammers have been $25-27 here for years But I’m also in Canada. It’s a treat to get them as a free gift from JLS or find them on sale for $20

Really like that. Awesome colour combo!

I use the rip n chatter and I really like it for chatterbaits, lipless cranks and spinnerbaits

I get it. But it has to start somewhere instead of expecting everyone else to test the rod for you. Doesn’t seem like it’s a popular model to get the reply you’re expecting. I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♂️

Get it and let us know how it is… has to start somewhere

The DC sound is programmed in. I wish Shimano let you customize the sound

gotta lift some weights and it won’t be so heavy

Bringing this back to life. Did you end up getting the rod and what did you think of it?

Bite was on fire the last couple weeks of Zone 20 bass fishing in the BOQ. Shore and off shore

Dream Tackle and Okuma Fishing have parted ways. Dream Tackle's owner, Greg, has announced that he is no longer working with Okuma. This separation was announced in a video on Dream Tackle's YouTube channel.

Yes. All have been used. One was mint and looked like it was never used, one had a small scuff that isn’t noticeable, another has a few battle scars and the one in the mail with no handle looks mint from the pictures. The 3 I already have, I’ve taken apart and serviced them and they’re extremely smooth and quiet.

Bantams are super cheap. My ‘18 Bantams (last 3 I bought) cost me around $130cdn shipped. And I got a Gomexus handle for one of them and found a handle less bantam for $75cdn shipped and I already have a handle to go on it. im liking the bantams a lot more than the zillion SVs the last little while

I agree. But then this hidden gem would be everywhere Lol

they’re such a fun reel and overlooked I find because of the SLX. They shouldn’t even be an SLX lol

I really like the SLX DC XT a lot. I’ve had other DC reels but sold them quickly, I have 2 of these SLX’s and they’re just alot of fun to use. Small and compact. They cast far and effortlessly and a wide range of baits. I use them more than my Zillions reels and Steez reels. Mine are still as smooth as the day I got them. I feel like the Zillions were great when they came out and the hype was reel but now after a few seasons and cleanings, I don’t feel my zillions are as smooth as they use to be. Plus with how good the new tatula 100s are, I don’t feel the need to go up to another zillion. I put one through the paces the other day and it was launching 1/4oz mini max with ease. having said that, I think everyone needs at least one zillion SV and having an SLX DC XT isn’t a bad idea either. I’d take another one over a Zillion which seems crazy. But I just really like how they cast and fish. And I don’t need a DC reel but it’s fun. SLX DC XTs and my Bantam MGLs have become my go to reels lately. I’ve even lost interest in my ‘22 Zillion HD

These rods have intrigued me but I have only seen them online searching for a bottom contact rod. Just wondering what thoughts are on this line of rod from those that have used them? Looking for a bottom contact rod either the 7’5 Heavy x-Fast or the 7’3 MH x-Fast. I haven’t used a Fenwick in years. How are the quality of rods these days? I was also looking at a Johnny Morris Carbonlite Technique specific rod.. the 7’4 Heavy Fast is listed as “Dragging”. Guessing that’s bottom contact as well. Any experience with that for comparison?? thanks

I regret selling my Champ XP 734C. Excellent all around rod.

Great reel. I just put mine to work tonight. 👍🏼 edit: I used it with 10lbs machine gun cast line, 7’1 evergreen combat stick medium rod and it launched out 1/4oz mini max very well and easy. Brakes set to 3 and it was no fluff, brakes set to 2 and it had a little fluff and didn’t gain much distance. Really comfy to use as well.
