Welcome!.... there are a ton of knowledgeable members on here. Excellent info for beginners and experienced anglers. This site can be as simple and/ or technical as you want...e.g.. Info on TDZ's and mods for them... I would say Teal101 is the go to guy to ask. Reel parts,etc....The Tackle Trap........

Hopefully it arrives in another day or two from Japan.

I would try it spinnerbaiting and pitching. 30% costlier than smackdown , and THREE times the price of tcb8, comparing 150 yard spools, tacklewharehouse price . EXPENSIVE!

Can someone please tell me what size or centering pin is on the Owner beast hooks 4/0 and5/0? Is it a size M medium or L large?
Thanks in advance.

Looks like you were downrigging. Lol

I pitch with 2 of my yellow pixys and cast keitech swimbaits with the other. No problems .

OMG!!!.....It's a TDZ reel and spool shrine! I bow to you sir.

If the reel will be used by a kid , especially a small kid , look at a zebco triggerspin reel . They go on a spinning rod and are much,much easier for kids to hold and cast. I think it is the zebco 44 classic. When my sons were young, they both used these reels for casting lures .....topwaters,spinn...

Can anyone tell me what if any SV spools are available for the tatula type-R 100H. Thanks in advance.

I totally understand your "too much time on my hands" deal. My youngest went to school for a year in Toronto, and, even though I was living in SoCal at the time, I got cold just looking at her pictures of winter there. When you have to build covered pathways from one building to another, so you can...

Does anyone stretch this type of line either before they spool it on a reel or after spooling? I have some 20lb. Tatsu on a reel and do not like the line coils and the manageability. Not stretching it right to the bait/lure , but maybe from 2 rod lenghs and about 100 feet after that. Anyone do this?...

Bought a tatula HD 100mm handle from Tim ,April 2016. Great guy ! Thanks Tim! That handle looks great on one of my tdz's.

Mattman, what would that cost me , per rod?

Has anyone on this forum had a one piece baitcast rod made into a 2 piece , 50/50 split ? If so, who did the work, are you happy with the results ?, etc. I was told by a guy named Ray at Hook,line and Sinker tackle shop in Guelph,Ontario that it can not be done . I think it can , so I am sceptical o...
