New Sunline braid designed for spinning reels.

Sunline - Defier D-Braid

Been using SX1, will have to try this.

I really like the 7’6” spinning rods and the AGS mml is my favorite.

Pitching machine, finish holding up on mine.

Let's face it guys we don't follow the herd and which pros uses what don't matter. I Godson told one of his friends that I had as good as equipment has the pros. I just laughed and thought I wish I could fish like them.

Wouldn't go glass. I would go with a longer heavy medium fast graphite.

I have picked a few Daiwas from the site ichibantackle.com They also have some JDM used hardbaits. Sometime some interesting stuff shows up.

1/4 oz. Pop R, love them little boogers.

I'm not big on Christmas as I work retail - you get a real itch to get past this time of year as quickly as possible. But I bought myself a boat for the creeks and Broadwater here, been 12 years since my first tub. Decking it all out with the Railblaza trappings and just bought myself a (June build...

My Alpha Type R

Have had a bunch of Alphas the Type R is my favorite. This one is special.

Another spool to consider would be the Alpha Type R spool, my favorite Alpha spool.

I just got my PV and found it balances well with a zillion or Z200. I'm using my for swimbaits and larger topwater with the Z200. If I were to use it for bottom contact, I think I would use some variance of the zillion. I still have my PV and still one of my favorite rods. Replaced the Z200 with an...

I am not a fan of any of the newer Daiwa reels. For the money you can’t beat the OGs. If you want to cover a wide variety of apps get yourself one from each family: 1. Pixy for BFS use with light weights 2. Alphas variant for mag finesse 3. Steez for bottom contact 4. TDZ for all around use 5. Zill...

I recently sold off a few high end reels that I just loved, but would never use them for whatever reason. However, I have always wanted to get a newer Conquest, so I figured I got the extra coin now, so why not. Its a viscous cycle.

I’m in the exact same place!
