Re: Light and Long Cranking Setup

Maybe a L to ML Shimano sea bass offering? Those lengths in casting rods for tiny plugs are more common in salt rods. You might when find some inshore rods from domestic brands too.

Re: Longer, high end, versatile rod suggestions?

Brailst? P5 Dark Sleeper? I know the xx Brailist is like the EMTF of the old xx series when the current EMTF became a crankbait rod.

Re: Daiwa Tatula 300 Question

Does anyone happen to know the proper size for the handle? My 300 just arrived and I can't figure out if its 7x4mm or 8x5mm? I see that some Tatula are 8x5mm but I don't know if that applies to all of them (and I don't have my calipers handy) Thanks I like the gomexus metal 6 point stars for my new...

Re: Megabass jadepython fine shootist info

If you're a collector of these old sticks then I'd day get it. Seems like a rare one and that price is Espada money.

Re: Megabass jadepython fine shootist info

Looks very similar to the F1.5 63xti Espada from the same era. Mine is more of a plug rod with more of a "stream rod" build than what I would consider BFS. The handle is too short and the rod bends down to the reel seat too much to be a BFS rod. While it's not a trout rod it's certainly not like an ...

I’m happy to hear that. Mine is being delivered today! For anyone interested, there’s new 8.1’s on the bay for under $190. 42 IPT!
You can also get them from Aliexpress for a bit cheaper at $140 before tax but you have to wait a month for it to arrive.

Re: All new steez sv tw

Maybe I am over saturated with cheap Aliexpress carbon handles but I now associate them with cheap and have an appreciation for a nice forged alloy handle. But if you want carbon fiber, 95mm and Zillion HD like knobs then for $11 this can be yours. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqU6n0Q https://i.ibb.co...

What is this

The real non knock off version. I found this on Aliexpress and want to know what the original version if there is one is called. https://i.ibb.co/7jXNwkv/S2104567d45b54e3598d9a3680e845813-Q.webp I like the wake action in the video when set up as a wake bait. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805782...

Re: Lets see all them Daiwa's

Don’t know why, sometimes we just plain stupid, with 3 of the Alphas SV TW 800 and 800s I have, some how I spent the same amount with lesser reel. I like the color and mag dial location on the Tatula 80 and 70 reels better than the silver and upsidown dial nub on my Alphas TW. I just wish my 80 spo...

Re: Lets see all them Daiwa's

Just got a Tatula 80 and picked up a cheap carbon handle with long EVA knobs. Reel and handle was like $130 total. Reminds me of a mini Zillion HD.

Re: Daiwa Tatula 200 or Type HD (beater saltwater reel)

If you really want to be cheap the Johncoo Ares would be a good beater 200+ capacity reel for salt. You'll need to grease and oil as they come dry and crunchy/geary out of the box. I have 2. $48 aluminum frame and double aluminum side place double pinion suppored 9.9 oz 200/300 size reel. It's big ...
