    So , get the 6:4:1 BB1. 28" per turn.They even make it in a 7:1. I'll guarantee you that BB1 will bomb a crankbait as far as you want to throw it.

    Check out the standard Tatula version , same power , same action as the Ish rod , just cheaper. $169 Tackle warehouse has plenty in stock. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Daiwa_Tatula_Casting_Rods/descpage-DTCR.html

    BB1 was built for deep cranking.

    Did you do a search ?

    Daiwa BG 4500 on a Star Stellar 8' heavy. That's what I use.

    Let's hope. The slx and slx xt ended up the same way for me.

    Which ever daiwa you end up with you should open it up and grease the gears...I've bought 4 in the last 12 months every one of them was bone dry.

    Tatula 150 P.

    The 100's are some of the smoothest Tatulas I own. I had a SLX and SLX XT , both got geary feeling pretty quick. Tatula 100's and CT's remain smooth. Just my experience. Like somebody mentioned above the 100's can be had for around $110.

    Simple , change the way you palm the reel. Hawgtech sells longer handles.

    If you don't work on your own reels , you can send it back to Lew's , they will either fix it or replace it. But , yeah , anti reverse bearing sounds like the culprit.

    8:1 ratio reels don't stay smooth for very long with hard use.

    10 lb Invisibraid on my spinning reels.. Sunline FX2 on everything else...But , there are tons of good braids out there.

    Ark , Tharp series 7'11 Guntersville special. $129

    My only complaint is it got geary feeling after extended use. And I had two of them , a slx and a slx xt. My Fuego ct , is still going strong.

    Rest easy. That's not my reel (I don't own anymore shimanos). Just some random pic from google.
  18. johnD.
    One that's straight , not cut out.

    I'd like to see them phase out the current curado and bring a reel back with a normal thumbar. There's been a couple of curados they never kept around longer than a year or two.

    Did you try , Plat ? They have a pretty extensive list of parts and ship quick. https://www.plat.co.jp/shop/catalog/partsorder.php?products_id=910

    The 2020 Metanium has brass gears, it should not be a issue.
  22. johnD.
    They go down the same exact production line , only difference is shallower spools on the JDM Chronarch and Metanium.

    I've been fishing a Falcon 6'8 mh Jason Christie squarebill/spinnerbait rod for several years. I've lost very few fish on it. The Lew's custom speed stick crankin 6'9 mh squarebill rod , is gonna be my next one.

    I got a flyer in the mail from Academy , they will be "buy one get one free" in store only starting March 2.

    Tatula 150 P is my preferred deep cranking reel. Look around , you can find them for just over $100 , brand new.
