Been using a Shimano Tranx 150 XG (32 ipt) for last couple times out. Enjoy throwing T -Rigs and jigs with it and I really like it for chatterbaits. Reeling it slow then a quick half turn really makes a chatterbait dart/hunt. I got decent fish in a blow down and the XG was good at getting it out quickly. Im not sure if its the Trax gear but there is hardly any torque if any.

Sarcasm. I love Digitaka but my wallet down

Wow those are good prices

The crazy thing is that a lot of these reels are available new at Digitaka for nearly the same price. Digitaka btw is the devil

Dont get any of the JDM Metanium. I am warning you now. 1 turns into 6 or 7 pretty quick

I cant find a purpose for a 10:1.

I think ill like a high speed for chatterbaits because you can do a quick half or full handle turn and have the bait do erratic stuff. I do like a nice medium slow retrieve on a spinner bait so maybe not a good idea for those

Do you find it difficult to use a high speed reel, 32 ipt or higher for chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, swimbaits, and jerkbaits?

I am starting to play around with the Silent Provoke 97DD and the Silent Provoke 106DD now. I fish a high pressured lake so my thoughts are they should be golden. I am concerned about the casting of these and how they sit since they dont have the transfer beads in them. It was end of October for me last year before the jerkbaits started working for me.

Ive been looking at these. How does that bait keeper do with keitechs?

I have all these weedless. Curious about exposed hook jighead underspins

The dirty jig underspins have bad reviews on TW. Looking for 1/0, 2/0, and 3/0 in 1/4oz and 3/8 oz for swing impacts..

Mid 6lber. I have caught a ton of 4lb & 5lb fish but never got in the 6s on a LMB. Caught a 6.3lb small mouth years ago at Watauga Lake while thrown plugs for Walleye but never caught a LMB in the 6s until then.

Jordan and Harris are fishing pretty good right now. Caught my pb at Harris last week on a Rapala dt16 then had a good day at Jordan over the weekend catching 5 good fish. Three on a smaller white spinner bait, one on a Azuma lipless, and 1 on a Rapala OG Tiny 7 flatside crankbait. I will say water is cooling down pretty fast right now with our cooler days and colder nights.

Its my fault I lost access. When I joined I listed some reels without becoming an active member but have since been. I have sent messages with no response. Just trying to see if I can get access again.

i just purchased one from Digitaka. I used it twice and I like my regular metaniums better. This is my third attempt at using a DC reel and they are not for me..If you decide to get one I would sell you mine. Mine is rh 70 HG and Id take $310 shipped.

For this type of situation I like the couch. LOL

How do i get access to flea market? I have been a participating member for a while.

Yeah Im looking at both sizes now just the prices are a kick in the shorts.

What is so special about this lipless crankbait?

Curado 150 MGL HG Curado 70K MGL HG-Little over $200

I have gone down this road for the last 2 years. I have tried Lews Hypermag for weight, several Daiwas (SV TW, 70 SV TW, Coastal 80, and Alphas SV TW) and my favorite are the Shimano Curado 70K HG and the Shimano Metanium 100 HG. Both are light enough while being the most comfortable in hand and being able to cast good distances. I loved the weight of the Hypermag but it is not comfortable in hand and for me it didnt cast well. The 70k HG is a 29 ipt and the Metanium 100 HG is 30 ipt which for me is perfect. Much faster than that I found myself moving the bait when reeling up slack.

Anyone use the 706cb for spinnerbaits and chatterbaits? I guess only concern is the tip is a little soft.

I have tried burn, slow, and varying speeds while yo-yoing

I think I caught 3 fish on these in the last few years. Whats some tips for success? Best time of year? Best structure? I primarily fish a high pressure lake so suggestions there? I would think silence lipless would be best but no success on them yet and not many options to choose from.
