That’s pretty sexy. 

Got a couple Fuegos on eBay for a great price

Finally bought my first Steez today. Steez A TW HS. Can already tell I will love this reel.

I found a new Daiwa Tatula CT Type-R online for too good of a deal. ?

That’s a nice looking set up. 

Mail call!

I have the smaller combo to yours.

Exist LT FC2500S on megabass Landsat with #6 daiwa J- fluro. For 1/8 shakeyheads.

Awesome combo.

 Given MB's generals sense of whimsy when it comes to rod names, I have to believe they were fully that they were naming their rod after farts, but it would be funnier if they weren't.

After some coffee and some sort of breakfast burrito or sandwich and then putting a little effort into a cast busting some wind seems fitting.

I contemplated the Landsat but I have a few rods that handle the 1/16-1/8 shakyheads well, I'll probably justify getting that one also though, good to know you like it for the lighter heads.

 

 

I think the whole fishing industry was taken over by whimsy names decades ago, from model names to lure colors.  

 

OK, these really aren't mine, but two Ticas I'm customizing for a friend.  Both got orange Daiwa Custom Project handles, which were closing out at Marine Deals in NZ 

 

 

How does your friend like the tica spinning reels? I tried a few years back and they felt subpar. I quickly got rid of them.

Though i still have two larger reels - Tica Pieces and Gemini. Pretty much calcatta 400 and 700 clones. They seem to be decent for the money.

He bought his first on my recommendation, and went back for many more.  I fish the salt and like reels built to last and catch big fish.  IMO, Libra SX is the best $100 reel out there - it's basically their offshore Cybernetic rebuilt in smaller sizes.  Stepping up to Shimano '19 Stradic is the $200 reel, but before '18 Stella, I didn't give a hoot for Shimano.  

Can also tell you I like Tica's line roller better than Shimano's - all my Shimano line rollers get replaced with MTCW.  

 

I fished a little Cetus in salt XUL for a dozen years.  People who get floored by Shimano smooth may not get it, but people who do this on UL tackle do get it.  

 

Also have a Caiman I use in an offshore jigging niche.  The reel doesn't fish inshore lure weights, but is great with a 2-oz jig.  I'm sure I'd like a Conquest here, as well, but this is a $150 reel.  

One more new rod, gonna pair it with a Steez SV thats been waiting for this rod to show up.

 

Megabass Destroyer P5 Super Destroyer 

 

With A Steez Sv TW spooled with 14 lb Sunline Structure Flourocarbon.

^ This is following up on a post I had last week. I added a second Tatula 100, the HS version, to complete my new jerkbait setup. These are going to be the two setups I use most this year for smallmouth bass.

 

6th Sense ESP 7'2 MH/MF + Daiwa Tatula 100XS (8.1:1) > Tube Jig Setup

6th Sense Lux 6'9 M/MF + Daiwa Tatula 100HS (7.1:1) > Jerkbait Setup

These rods really intrigue me. 

 

As of now they only have the 2 models. I talked to 6th Sense yesterday to see if they'd be adding more, and they said they aren't sure yet. 

@NorthernBasser - I don’t have the experience to compare them against other rods at their price point, but I will say the quality is awesome and the handle/grip is beyond comfortable. I do hope they come out w/ different models as well.

 

^ I’ll follow-up w/ you once I have a chance to use it around the beginning of April.

Anyone that buys Hedgehog/Ray's Studio parts have a newer Levante? I have seen where the Deep Purple is usually the go to for Daiwa/Megabass stuff, but seems like the thread wrap on the Levantes might be lighter. Should I go with the Royal purple? @rippin-lips maybe?

Got a Shimano Curado DC for xmas, it's been a long winter waiting to try it out.

Nice but is that a Daiwa rod? Not sure that is legal. ?

In all seriousness, what rod is that?

It's a Daiwa Aird-X.

 

I have a Tatula LT on an Aird-X as well if that makes up for the previous sin lol.
