I have the smaller combo to yours. Exist LT FC2500S on megabass Landsat with #6 daiwa J- fluro. For 1/8 shakeyheads. Awesome combo. 2 Quote

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. 1 hour ago, mrpao said: I have the smaller combo to yours.

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. Quote
Super User bulldog1935 Posted February 24, 2021 Super User Posted February 24, 2021 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 6 Quote
mrpao Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 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. Quote

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. 4 Quote

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. 1 Quote
ABrugs Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 @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. 1 Quote
HazeRVA Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 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? Quote
