I couldnt resist getting a Citica for $90.00 so Ive got plans to order one tomorrow. This will be the first Shimano to join my Diawa army but Im putting it on a Diawa rod to lessen the blow.

Bad things may happen.  You better watch out.   ;D

Ill be sleeping with one eye open

Don't blame me, I didn't twist your arm....much  

Of course you didnt :-X

Ive been thinking about it for a while any way lol.

If you develope a rash, switch out the Shimano and saddle it up with any other brand of rod and you will be fine! They particularly like to be matched with G. Loomis and St. Croix equipment.

There 's something unholy about sitting a Shimano reel on a Daiwa rod.  :-?

The opposite is also true.

Variety is the spice of life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The diawa rod is my only deep cranking rod so the 5.?:1 should be good. I thought about getting a Tierra but I need the gear ratio.

GR 6.3:1; 28"IPT.

But you can crank with a Sol, I do it with an Alphas Type F, Itö & Pixy.  

Come on in. The water is fine!

Welcome to the world of quality and performance.

May I suggest a Chronarch MG 50 for your pleasure???

I decided not to get it yet for two reasons:1 Im going to save up for a new Jiggin rod for my Viento so I can give my grandpa my old setup. 2 I dont need a deep cranking combo until summer. Im going to give my grandpa my Megaforce/TD-S jig/worm rod combo which will be both his first b/c and Diawa combo.

So, no Shimano yet, eat it shirley

What about a Calcutta on a TDS? ;D

Better to play it safe and go with a Revo on a Kistler LTA.  ;-)

why take chances?
