Daiwa baitcasting reel advice needed
Shipping speed depends on whoever ECMS uses for final delivery, on the Japan side they're really fast. Here on the West coast I've only had 1 order take more than a week because after the handoff from ECMS FedEx decided to fly it across the country and back prior to delivery.

Daiwa baitcasting reel advice needed
Daiwa 100 size reels are pretty close to 150 Shimanos, just a little wider usually to clear the TWS. Not a perfect comparison but here is a Curado 150 DC (same frame as the 200K I believe) and a Tatula Elite 100

Amazon Japan also has the 24 Tatula 100 for ~$110 currently. All hands/speeds except the righty 6 speed for $123.

Anyone know good storage for hooks?
I like to keep everything in original packs, grouped on binder rings. I just snap off whatever I need for the day and toss them in a flex box.

@Eric 26 @MediumMouthBass Yep I always show them the website and ask to verify the deal, very first pack scanned at 50% off so at least in my store I didn't actually need to buy 6 but still did.

The strike king deal doesn't seem to actually require buying 3 of anything. I went in store and cleaned out their 3.75 Pearl flash rage swimmers and they all rang up 50% off from the first pack.

Zodias 7'10XH Rod?
Fishermans Warehouse here in CA showing the 79XH in stock https://www.fishermanswarehouse.com/product/shimano-2022-zodias-casting-rods/149438 That said I don't think I would fish treble hook baits on either the 79 or 710

Latest,Rods & Reels Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
Bit of an impulse buy, decided to add a longer ML spinner to the stable. Dobyns 702SF with a 2500 Miravel. Spooled up with some old trilene xl 6lb as backing, topped with cheap .20mm hercules braid. I'll get out to play once the wind calms down a little.

What casting rod to get next
Dobyns Fury 705CB. I don't love it for chatterbaits but I know some folks do. That said ANY treble hook bait in its weight range and it excels. Particularly love it for top water spooks and lipless cranks.

Shimano Teramar Southeast 7' Castings Rod
They're inshore rods, so that MH is going to be have lot more power than a typical bass MH rod. Rated to 1-1/2oz max it's probably closer to a heavy or extra heavy bass rod.

X Zone Swammer
I'm a big fan of the swammer as an A rig trailer, or for use on a basic exposed jig head. They have a ton of body roll that works with the slightly more subtle tail kick. I don't love them on something like a flashy swimmer or keel weighted hook as it seems to mute the rolling action, rage swimmer or keitech fat for that application all day. Above was just after being mauled by a DD striper a couple weeks back.

What was or is your favorite baitcating reel?
I guess the ones I bought more than once. Bantam, Metanium, Tatula Elite. But I love them all

Do you seal the cork on your rods with a cork sealer?
I like the worn look, if my cork is too clean it means that rod needs to spend more time on the water
