Was looking at the specs on these today because I found the glass composite ones intriguing and noticed they have alconite guide train? Really??? $300+ rod series with alconite guides? thats sad. I remember the rebellions could be had for $150 and even they had SS/SIC guides https://www.daiwa.com/u...

Does anyone know if it's the same blank as the Steez rods or the new Tatula elites? Seen them available at a few online retailers and a couple models have me very intrigued.

Usually either myself or some guys from the kayak fishing club I'm in, but lately my son has taken an interest in fishing with me so been hitting the neighbourhood ponds with him lately.

I haven't seen anything yet, but sounds intriguing. The carbon mq butt grip section has me intrigued, is this Daiwa's take on the carbon monocoque handle Shimano has been utilizing?

Merry Christmas to all, and hope you all have a safe and prosperous new year

I don't care what color it is, as long as it's an aluminum version of the current US Exist G LT, I'm in! I thought thats what the new airity is? Or is the airity its completely own reel this time around? I know the previous model was identical to the old exist except with a spool support bushing in...

My rods and reels are stored in a closet inside the house. Lures and spare braided line in the garage.

New Certate will be released in December

Are there any details released on the new Certate? The 2019 model is a fantastic reel, interested to see what they've changed for the new model.

These only come in 1/8oz and 3/0 hook, but I've used them fishing inshore for redfish and speckled trout with great success https://www.4horsementackle.com/product ... k-jig-hook

Just curious, why the hate for bass resource? I feel like the guys there got caught by the sponsorship bug and keep plugging away at products that are subpar or mediocre at best. Also, if you say anything negative about a sponsored product, then you can be sure it's going to get removed. Bunch of s...

I couldn’t get over the sweaty dirty sock smell. They work, but not so well that I will put up with something that nasty. :sick: :lol: I'll probably never spend $10 on a pack of plastics, but do they really smell that bad? They definitely have a strong odour to them. I don't find they smell like sw...

I just spooled a Daiwa Alphas sv tw with 12lb Mastiff, and it didn't have a 100 yard/half spool marker.

I fish inshore far more than bass fish, but have caught a share of bycatch when going after bass.

I have the A version of the Expride 72ml+ and use it now for throwing 1/8oz Owner Flashy swimmers or Okashira screwheads with a 2.8 keitech (total weight 8 grams) and it's great for that. Have also used it for throwing 1/8oz jigheads with 3 inch paddletails inshore for slot redfish and it had more t...
