Re: Ned Rig on Casting Gear

Though I do prefer spinning gear for this I have used a Zillion TW SV 6 LB with a Steez XT 7'M to throw a 1/10 oz. Weight was not an issue for casting.

Re: New Senko/Neko Rod

I have the Daiwa Cronos 7'6" and the Tatula Signature Series 7'6" rod. The Cronos is a great rod without breaking the bank. I just got the 7'6" Seth Fieder rod in has a little more back bone and it's lighter due to the AGS guides. I throw a lot of Ned rigs and Neko rigs and these rods are perferct f...

Re: ICAST 2017

DirtyD64, I agree once you get to a little thicker line the 3000 because a better choice. When using flouro I'm mainly using 5 and 6lb. I only have one reel with 10 braid so I don't seem to have too many line issues. When I'm on the boat and we start to cover water I will take my drop shot rod and c...

Re: ICAST 2017

From what I understand the new Tatula is an upgraded Procyon. I have Ballistics and Sol's with the intention on getting the Luvias next. Not sure I will get the Tat spinning reel. Yes all the pros are mainly using 3000 sizes with a couple 2500 mixed in. Fieder loves the 3000 series because you can c...

Re: ICAST 2017

I haven't seen so I don't know if it will match the Elite rods. One would think so.

Re: Anyone with experience with Daiwa cronos spinning rods?

Vncnt,

Glad you like the rod., I think they are great for their price point. As a matter of fact I picked up 4 more Cronos rods a couple of weeks ago.

Re: Ned Rig on Casting Gear

I use both a stock Tatula SV TW and Zillion SV TW with a 7'M Steez XT. I can cast a 1/10 with a TRD Tubez a long ways and don't have to worry about backlashes. I fish them with 6lb Tatsu. These combos are awesome.

Re: What's Your Favorite Topwater Bait? ~~~~~~<:------<<

The one go to bait for me is the Strike King Sexy Dog and they are half the price of other baits. I also have the Evergreen JT's.

Re: Daiwa Tatula spinning

You wish you can turn the handle around? You should be able to unscrew it and switch sides.

Re: Anyone with experience with Daiwa cronos spinning rods?

Vncnt I have them both and fish them both a lot. I tend to grab the XF more then the F. Just my personal preference. I throw the ned rig a lot and love small plastic jerk baits but I usually have a drop shot rigged on the F or the 7'1"ML. When fishing the ned rig and small reaction baits I make long...

Re: Anyone with experience with Daiwa cronos spinning rods?

I'm sure you will like them. They are a very underrated rod. I'm actually going to order another 7'ML.

Let me know what you think after you fish it.

Re: Dropshot foulups

I know a couple of my buddies swear by them. I use them when the fish are aggressive so I don't have to worry about retying all the time. If the bite is super tough then I just use the regular G-finesse TGW drop shot hook.
