Re: Which loomis GLX for an all around use of Cranks and oth

I have a GLX MBR 783c and use it all the time. I would say you have the right rod for your application.

Re: Which Tackle?

if you are baitfishing go ahead and get your self an UGLY STIK. cheap and gets the job done. Eventually you will endup with G loomis and other brands to your collection as you get into the darkside. :evil:

Re: TD ito drag ?

To be honest, it was my fault for abusing my reel with the strong salmon tugging on it with all its might. These reels were meant for bass fishing, not hauling it MONSTERS. I do have to agree with you Zander, Shimano dart drags are quite amazing.

Re: Alphas v metanium: Drag comparisons

From my personal experiences, Shimano wins in the drag department. Both great reels but Smoothness and strength in drag goes to SHIMANO.

Re: TD ito drag ?

I guess my reel really got a workout cause I went balls out and used it for salmon and steelhead on 6-8lb mono line. My drag got a serious workout when I landed a 27lb Chinook. I guess it was really my fault for abusing that reel on a big salmon. I'm just a bit disappointed because NONE of my Shiman...

Re: TD ito drag ?

I too have had the same issue with my TYPE R+ reel. Drag system is not the greatest with the Team Daiwa according to Jun. I just wish daiwa came up with a better drag system like shimano. Better yet, put the Penn HT drag system in the daiwas. LOL.
