But that trail 90 though.  Can we get a pic of that

Haha, the blue one is a SL70ko and the orange and black is a XL70ko.  I do have pics but don't wanna clog the thread.  I'll post in other someday. I have 12 different minis 70s and 50s.

New to me, haven't put either on the water, yet. The Exsense replaces a Stradic Ci4+ FB (which holds it's own).

 

G.Loomis NRX 852s and Shimano Exsense Ci4+ C3000HGM

I think a sweet daiwa AGS will do the trick.

Thanks for the recommendation Kroberts9, I'll make it happen.  probably do this - STZ721MHRB-AGS   I've held a couple at PBS...they are nice.

I love the photo idea with the 'fan' look! Why not show some more skin? This is a PG-13ish forum, we can handle seeing the reels without their 'clothes' on

Just received my brand new 7'0" m cronos casting rod at a great deal. This rod looks and feels amazing. Build quality is great. Throwing my sv105 on it, which I've been tinkering with the last few months since I've had it. Was sitting on a 7'0" m Carbonlite rod, which I really enjoyed. I know I'm going to like this new combo a lot. 

Looks great!  

When your new Ci4 has a bad bearing but the forum pushes you in a different direction. Its not as free spinning as a Stradic (the sealing is much better at the handle and main shaft on this one) but when you turn the handle you can feel everything just matches up better.

Well done

 

Figured I have been around here long enough I might as well show you what Im working with! Only thing missing is a Curado K I pick up from work on Tuesday! Mostly spinning stuff as Im a walleye/crappie guy first as we tend to fish out of my dads boat and he doesn't get too much kick out of the bass fishing. But I love talking equipment and learning so I ended up on bassresource!

This was a good decision!  You'll love the reel!  And for what you got it for, you got a STEAL!

Traded in my (4) Exsence 3000's for (4) new Stella 3000 FJ's this week and wow....  They're like a Rolex, can't feel a single gear and smooth as butter!  

 

Just got to spool up 8lb Tatsu on them and they'll be ready to be broke in up north this spring on some smallies... 

 

OMG!  

 

Beautiful!
