Re: Shipping Rods

I found that shipping rods in pvc and tacklewarehouse cardboard tube is the same price. Usually cost me anywhere from $24-$28 dollars insured up to $350.

Re: Is it Daiwa, Shimano, or someone else?

I like both Diawa's and Shimano's, its hard to pick between the two but I voted for Shimano because it was one of my first reels when I was a kid and I just started using Diawa a few years ago.

Re: Casting Rods... What will you spend?

Most I would spend on a rod now is around $250. I spent over $500 dollar one time on a rod and I didnt think it was that much better or sensitive than the $250-$270 price range.

Is there a upgraded spool for the Chronarch CI4+?

I dropped the spool on my Chronarch CI4+ and it made a dent on the lip of the spool, do you guys think this will affect the performance at all? Also is there a upgraded spool for this reel and who makes them?

Re: Daiwa Zillion rods ... JDM vs. USDM

They are exactly the same just different handle length and different taper depending on what model.
