New Froggin Combo- Tatula 7’4” H with a Tatula SV XS and 50 lb PowerPro. The slightly more moderate give that the rod has is nice and  I feel like it should work well for big treble hook baits. The SV is probably a nicer reel than needed for frogging but I’m working on my skipping abilities with it.

Very impressive gear. But here’s my humble selection of high end and JDM rods and reels:

Lightest combo I've ever seen, amazing.

What am I thinkin??????!

 

Anyway anyone that smarter than me and wanna get rid of this super old reel (only 51)but in good condition let me know. Thanks

 

Just finished, doesn’t look so bad, right?

One of my favorite combos, Metanium with Yumeya shallow spool and HH bearings, GLX 842c

 

Havent fished finesse (or a spinner, really) for a long time so today, went and remedied that! Stradic 1000HG with a Shimano Zodias 7' med-light. Got some 10lb braid and 6lb fluoro, wish me luck.

I was looking at some of my ice fishing gear and decided to snap a pic of my TUCR BW that I had wrapped to match my CI4 1000.

Got a NIB Antares HG for a steal, just gotta figure out what to use it for.

Looking at that on my phone I thought it was like hydrodipped in woodgrain or something crazy like that.  I had no idea they were so shiny!  

I’ve been kinda looking for a clean td-z to throw a simple build together with. Wasn’t in a rush, just looking now and then. I finally found one at a price I couldn’t say no to. So it all came together yesterday after receiving it. Aside from the reel, it’s built out of extra parts I had around. 

7:1 brass gears

Carbontex drag washers 

Modified driveshaft to allow the use of a steez handle bolt.

Zpi blue emblem spool

Zpi sic spool bearings 

Zillion type R drag star 

Steez cast control cap 

Painted line guide insert

Zpi 92mm handle 

Zpi knobs 

Hedgehog dress up pieces

Pretty sexy stuff you got there. 

What braid do you use? Do you use it to color match your rod guide wraps or because you like the way the line works?

Haha

Nice. Would pass for high end JDM.

What can I say, I’m cheap when it comes to spinning out fit lol.

A little video of my 4500CS doing some free spool.  I fish piers with this guy as well as float fish and drift the rivers.

Lovin my new 19' Shimano Antares 70 6.2gr. Great caster, so smooth, virtually no backlash. 2 brakes on with no problems. And I really like the clicker on the drag. Well worth the money imo. I got it from JapanLure, fast shipping. I recieved it within 5 days. Came with a very nice MegaBass lure. 

 

I didn't think the left handed version was out??
