Almost look like one of the Tatula SV was green or could of just been the reflection of the water.

I'll add that the new Steez "A" will be magforce Z braking system. Man I miss that crazy fast Z spool because I like to use my thumb.

I have my brother in law for secret Santa this year and him and I love fishing. I want to get him something he will remember but can't remember where to purchase the (PNIS) thingy lure. Does anyone know where I can get him one?

Fleet farm $1.25 for structure jig and bitsy went for 68 cents.

Wouldn't the TSI301 eat the plastic in some bearings? I thought the 321 is the one to get

Does the Secret service storage bag fit in a standard size back pack?

Daiwa Alpha SV 105

Hybrid, After contemplating I am going to add the extra bearings necessary instead of the ceramic bearings. Does anyone know the size of the bearing under the main shaft frame bearing, Im guessing its the same as the CC frame bearing? Lastly the bearing size for the main shaft? Thanks fellas

Has anyone done a full ceramic bearing upgrade to there baitcast reel running them dry? I haven't heard or seen this done before but the spool only. How is the performance difference than stock? I'm planning to do this to my CT Tat btw.

I had a older guy walk off accidentally and was gonna put my nrx rod in his truck before I stopped him

Do these count Destroyer x7 S. Eiger. Steez mb honey spool. Air bfs bearings. Klx 6'6 core 51 with bocas

rinse them at the sink with dish soap and fingers, cuts all the oils off

Bearings

Carry light stuff. 2 rods and a bag for lures Elite 6'8 med ex fast for Texas and jigs 6'6 klx med light for open hook fishing. I carry all my cheap lures with me because they get stuck on rivers more often and they work.

My smallie smasher. I Have the Ika body mold and rig them like this. Remelt the used plastic

c21 is no go for me, learn my lesson last week when I lost to a huge smallie and my 110. Knot stregth no good. Did couple snap test with it and snap like twigs. This will be for backing line now

Dicks 2 for 30 (110's)

This thread reminds me to check my PFD and see if everything still in good shape. I've got the Onyx too but forget how long before you must replace the kit.

Iabass I just handled that rod in the store, Man it is nice. I will have to give Croix a call today that I want the 6'8M exfast Elite. Thanks guys

How well does the 6'10 do with Megabass magnum jerks? Reason I'm choosing the 6'8 because it's rated to 5/8 and that is the heaviest I throw.

6'8" M-XF it is. Should be killer this year on the yak and for them smallies

yea this rod will be more for open water. How ever Im looking really close at the 6'10 now too. So the more the opinions the better. I've fish alot of jig rods form St.Croix and owned a Big Cranker. I wonder if most of their blanks would be the same up to the Elite as in action and power. From LTB to the Elites. MIght have to take a trip down to Cabela's later and feel for my self but everytime I go there the Elites are all gone.

I was either looking at the 6'8 fast, and the 7 med fast. I didn't even think about the extra fast tips. I just talk to one of the reps. She said the 7 med would do me good buy I want more opinions before I trade the rod in.

I got an opportunity to trade in my older Xtremes for one of the newer Elites. But I want a jerbait rod. Which one of the casting series would fit best for all arounder jerkbait? Mainly 110's

check this out. You could also use the bow stern handles to attach the pulleys. The only down fall is the the rope will come over the deck. But since I have my Native cam locks(Paddle Holder) the rope sits over the edge of the cams lock around the curvature of the boat. Otherwise I was thinking of getting some smaller J mounts and JB welding on the side of the boat for the line so it sits nicely on the side. I've done this with my Slayer 12 and on the other side have the Harken260. All I needed was the pulley also picked up some reflective paracord off ebay to mactch the kayak and a larger nylon ring or aluminum.
