Spool compatibility for Daiwa Tatula MQ LT

Hi all, just ordered one of these reels up on Black Friday sale. Anyone know whether they are compatible with previous generation LT spools? I have my eye on a 3000 shallow spool.

Weedless finesse swimbait heads

Hi all, Looking essentially for a Dirty Jigs guppy head (1/0 hook, 3/16-3/8 oz, detailing, etc) with a fibre weedguard. Are there any major tackle companies domestic or jdm making these? If needed, would consider a ballhead with the same. Primarily would be throwing Keitech 2.8 fats and single tail ...

1/2oz+ finesse jigs?

Hey Folks, Been using Keitech's model 1 casting jig for a number of years and it is just about perfect for me across its hook ("3/0" hook that fishes like a 1/0), size/profile (compact tungsten/skirt), and colours. Their old keeper wasn't my favourite but that has been fixed with their ver. 2. The o...

Re: Reinforcing existing jigs/spinnerbaits with hand tie

Thanks for the tip! Sounds like a good evening activity since our bass season in Canada is still a couple months away!

Reinforcing existing jigs/spinnerbaits with hand tie

Hey, I’ve seen instructions for how to tie my own jigs with components but was wondering does anyone take stuff that already has a skirt with band on it (e.g. a dirty jigs swim jig) and reinforce or replace it with wire/braid/thread? How are you guys doing it?

Cool review and intriguing little bait! Any comparisons to its bigger/older brother, the diving flapslap?

Re: Best lipless crankbait in da business

I have slung the 70 in the past but, up here in the north, the smaller sizes seem more consistent when covering water shared by smallies and walleye.

Re: Best lipless crankbait in da business

Another vote for jackall tn - rock them in 50, 60, and 65 sizes. Seem to have the most success with the normal version and still very good success with the FT. Anyone using the trigon version and able to compare? The LV500 is phenomenal too; I just wish they had a smaller version for finesse-ier/sha...

Re: Oval Shimano handle knob cap removal?

Thank you both! To be sure, is it prying it from the center tube? And is it an insert/twist or brute force deal?

Oval Shimano handle knob cap removal?

Howdy, all my reels have traditional circle caps with the hole but seemingly these newer reels have oval caps without a hole. Are there instructions on how to remove these anywhere without scuffing them up? Hoping to swap some bushings for bearings..

Megabass 110 R, R+1, R+2?

Hey, anyone have any field experience with these that they can share? Like the theory of them being crankable and picked up a R+2 but won’t be able to throw it for a couple months when seasons up north start opening up. Especially interested in how these compare to their standard 110 counterparts.
