New BFS setup

Post by TeamDaiwaRick » Wed Mar 04, 2015 5:08 am

It's hard to "show" anything after RISE showed his entire collection... :oops: :lol:
But here it is... my new BFS setup
Rod: Jackall Nero 6'8" Light
Reel: Daiwa PX68L (Got it when they were on sale @ Plat couple weeks ago.)
Line: Not yet decided

PS: The Nero series is Jackall's own line of rod so it doesn't have a Shimano logo on it. Therefore, it's okay to pair with a Daiwa reel. :lol:

Nice looking rod. The Nero Transpo rods look good too.

That is a nicely matched combo. A little red on the reel, a little red on the Jackall logo. Winning. =D>

Sweet combo! I was looking at the exact same rod, it looks pretty exquisite in your pics. How does it balance with such a light reel?

This is the NC-65L, the lightest model in the series.
At 129g, it isn't exactly a very light rod when it's rated for just 1/8-1/4oz lures but it balances perfectly with a reel weighted 160g and below.

Cheers!

Looks like Daiwa and Jackall got together on this one. Very nice.

It balances pretty well, right at the fore nut. It will be closer to the reel seat after I spooled line on the reel.
