not me !! there are 15 different lines i'd choose before i'd spool up with that stuff , i tried it a long time ago and hated it , too springy and way too much stretch . Seriously , really don't know why you guys use that stuff , I'd go with P-Line products instead , just as cheap and a lot better .
all my rods havethe EVA tapered butts on them , means they won't work , i'm currently looking to improve on my rod transportation right now . looking into incorporating the 3'' pvc tube i use now by using the slots for 2 x 6's on the inside of the truck bed , i have a tundra long bed , i'll post pics one day when i figure it out , my plan so far is to make spots for (3) 3'' x 10' laying long ways in the bed lying ascross the tops of the verticl 2 x 6's ...
i know you are asking specifically about the tatula , but give a look see at the Lew's super duty , quite a nice reel that is offered in three gear ratio's and is a stout reel for how light it is ..
i buy all my components from Mudhole and occasionally from C&M (Acid Rod ) , for blanks , i buy from Mudhole and i am interested in buying some blanks from GetBitOutdoors ( seems the best place to buy NFC blanks )
the power rating on rods vary tremendusly with different rod manufactures , my St.Croix Big Nasty is a 9' heavy powered rod that is rated 3-8 oz. , it can easily handle lures up to 13 + oz.
if you guys are making them for yourselves , you should use some good lipless crankbaits like Red Eye Shads , a photo finish on them like that pumpkinseed would be awesome ..
once you get a rod that will cast the bait , cast it out , let it sink to the bottom , then reel it along the bottom , similar to a jig but instead of dragging it then stoping , just drag it a touch faster , keeping it moving but still along the bottom .
some spinning combos would be good , i would think they would be easier to cast for ones who have never casted a rod before , i always see people get the push button spincast rods all balled up with the line inside the reel .
