unboxing my reels so I can sort them out.  Didn't have time to put them in the correct boxes when we packed to move.  Then I need to select which reels go on which rods.  Will have about 25 reels left over if I mounted reels on all my rods.  However, I would like to start by pairing about 20 of the best rods and reels.  This is going to be a tough decision.    Could take days to decide on one combo.  

 

Previously only had about 7-8 combos set up.  Just used whatever reel I pulled out of a box.

 

Now have three finesse spools, so I need to select which reels to put them in and which rod to use for each.  One is easy....Pixy Airy Red on 6'9" OG Falcon Expert.

You can do it. We have faith in you.😄

You have more faith in me than I do.  I've often thought about which combos to use over this time period.  Still undecided.

do the right thing.  mix some shimano reels on Daiwa rods and vice versa.   its go time.

Have a decent number of Daiwa reels but only one Shimano rod.  A Gen1 Cumara 7' MHF.  Had a Compre 7' MF that was stolen along with a older Zillion 7'6" HF (used a Curado 201E7 for frogs on it), but still have about 6 Daiwa rods that I could put Shimano reels on.  

 

If Falcon and Fenwick made baitcasting reels, I could have fun switching them.

No. The last time I did that it triggered a tsunami that hit Japan. Think of the puppies.
