**2 reels for a Black Jungle SFMS**

Hello fellow TTers,

The SFMS is finally here. Classy, super slick looking shortie staff! I will get other pictures out and fishing opinions when she gets water time. Please help a fellow TTer out with a reel option

Here are my choices. One of these will likely get a nice stretch of time on The SFMS. Thanks to GW and the folks at TTT for the SFMS!! nevermind the bed, laundry day

Thanks Cristo

That Megabass Racing Illusion IS pairs beautifully with some Megabass Hyper Cork Knobs and a Nautilus!! I have an Ito 103HL on my Black Jungle Shallow Fast Move Special with some Hedgehog accent pieces and the new G1 Duralumin Zillion SV TW Spool and it's a GREAT combo. Enjoy that rod, it really is a lot of fun to fish no matter which reel you decide to put on it...

Pretty hard to miss out with either. I kinda like the ito.

Either one of those reels should work well. A megabass zonda would also be a very nice match for that rod.

zonda HH is now taking over Nautilus duties bumping the all black 2010 Hyper Lariat off so that one would be in the mix but I prefer 6.3 gears RI and Ito have. Per GW the Ito needs and orange SV spool

A 6.3 reel sounds good on the moving special, both of those reels should work well. My favorite crankbait etc reel is the 6.3
J Dream. I think that the green zpi spool would look better. This one isn't mine but to give you and idea of what it would look like.

You could get a sv spool for the RI. http://tackletrap.com/index.php?main_pa ... s_id=10088

okay Ito it is, 10lb p-line floroclear, and to start off a 3/8oz Deep Little N and move on to different divers and square bills etc. I will no doubt like a new spool sv or something fun shortly down the road but didn't want to wait so on the OG gigas it be

going to try tonight or tomorrow night.

I use my SFMS for moving baits...squarebills, shallow to mid cranks, etc. It's an absolute gem of a rod! I would have also chosen the Ito out of those two. I have mine paired with a Conquest 101HG/12# Fluorocarbon and it's an insane combo! Now put some U40 on that cork and go have a blast, man!

so she was christened last night. obviously a bit more powerful than the x4 cyclone that I love. easy to see now that cyclone is rated 4 while the SFMS is a 4.5. She handled the Deep little Ns really wel

l will get back to you folks when I throw other techniques as I focused the DLNs. the results are pretty nice

Excellent! Nice choice on the reel pairing too

Wait till you start throwing chatterbaits on it.....

That'll work!

Goldrod, I will take your prompt. going with 1/2oz shock blade with 3.5" little dipper. just tied it in and the rod handles that load with no problem

going to give it a whirl along with rapala DT-10s, and yo zuri 3DB square bills tomorrow night. i will be sure to post my findings and hopefully some pics of some choice buckets!

I am no expert but what I know I have learned from experience and the Black Jungle SFMS is by far one of the best multi shut your mouth rods I have. I have an steez 103ha with 1016 spool and i can do everything i ever want to do with it.

Ive thrown mudsuckers by jackall and brought in fish from a long ways and I was like well thats a treble hook lure than I experimented with chatter baits.. Rod loads like nobodys business. Its by far one of the best purchases i've made. I've used square bills , spinnerbaits just about every sort of reaction bait and it continues to make me smile

Enjoy yourself man. I had a pxtr on it but the steez color pattern looked better...lol
it had more line cap with the 1016 spool so it got the nod
