803 and core gears in the ch50 for the misses

Can I be your 2nd wife?

They feel fine to me. I haven't used them yet so I can't say any more than that.

Welcome to the BFS world Mike! It looks like a match made in Heaven! Congrats Mike on such a beautiful combo! Now all you need to totally take advantage of that rod is a shallow spool when they make one for the Ald50HG.

Beautiful combo Mike !!

Not sure where's the best place to post it but it's on my short list! 

 

All of my baitcast setups at the moment. Laguna, Tatula, Revo SX, and two Chronarch's. 

 

I see you like white rods, st Croix has some legend xtreme salt that's all white

I guess I like dropshotting

Sold off all my favorite older rods, payed some bills. and had a little left over for a new bfs rod. The Megabass Super Criffhanger. Had that out with the Ultima today chasing some trout. 

 

 

Matt you can't put purple and blue together! Just kidding I know you are probably playing around with spool options. Killer setups! It's unfortunate a few good oldies had to be sacrificed but its the way it goes sometimes.

$2500 worth of tackles in one hand. How's that feel

        Reel sweet looking combos you put together there . As for the investment you put into them, it truly shows you are a "True Enthusiast" ...Congrats.

Shimano reel on a megabass rod? How dare you!

Very nice collection of Daiwa's! I owned a Fuego, Pixy, Alphas, Zillion, Steez, and TDZ at one point but I've long since sold them all except for the Alphas. About the only other reel I wish I'd kept is the Fuego. I know that to a lot of guys the Fuego and Alphas aren't quite "on the same level" as the Steez or TDZ but they were my favorites. Especially the Alphas, I'm really looking forward to finding out if the new Alphas SV spool with fit the original reels as a "tune up" part. Either way you have a very very nice collection of some of Daiwa's best low pros.

Nice reels Gary!

dag3220, nice reels man!
