Re: New small spinning reel - high-end Shimano, high-end Daiwa, or Van Staal?
Looking through the Shimano/Daiwa options, I know that I want something with the LT technology in it if I end up with a Daiwa. That eliminates the Saltist, Luvias, and Certate. The Saltist BB and Fuego LT come in heavier than I'd prefer, considering I can get a lighter reel for a slight price increa...

New small spinning reel - high-end Shimano, high-end Daiwa, or Van Staal?
Hello, I'm looking for a new spinning reel for everyday inshore fishing. Something light enough to still throw 1/4 ounce pompano/bonefish jigs, yet heavy enough to take snook from the mangroves.

Casting braid
Hello, Looking to purchase some braid for some new reels. I need it in 15 lb test for freshwater/light inshore duties, 40 lb test for tarpon/snook duties, and then something in the 55-70 lb test range for frogging. These new setups are going to be higher-end that will last me a long time, as I don't...
