I read an article from either *** or *** about different types of sunline fluoro and what they are used for. It was a recent article but I can't seem to find it again even with google. Can anyone help?

I'm using a binder now and don't like it. It's organized but difficult to use. I want one of those zerust boxes

Not broken but I left a team daiwa t on the deck and as we were leaving...Bump! Flew right off and I was completely unaware.

I've hit my girlfriend a few times setting the hook... I usually don't land fish and spend more time getting to the spot than fishing. A common theme is scaling steep banks and wading through chest high crocodile water (no not alligator) to get to that perfect spot...then I awake without making a cast.

Recent pickups 741 team daiwa s frog rod 2500 daiwa ballistic sh Daiwa t3 1016 Brown craw roumba Danielson split ring pliers And 15lbs smackdown braid

While the t3 mx 8.1 is super cool... I scored an eBay deal for the 7.1 t3 1016 for $160 brand new. If I got an mx I'd want to get the 1016 spool so total cost would be approaching 300. I think I came out alright. Thanks for the help everyone!!! P.s. earlier today I put my tdz 103h (6.2oz) on my *** and it balanced almost perfect. A pixy or alpha would have made it tip heavy and the t3 1016 should balance perfectly.

I'm not sure if some people realize that higher ratings are used on high tech equipment like hospital laboratory analyzers and such that have a tiny tolerance for error. Fishing reels, even high end, are nowhere near as precise. That said, I still go with abec 7 on occasion.

Pink? How you doin?

That's what I'm looking at now and the 8 to 1 ratio is amazing. Hard to find though! I'd probably bump my budget for it. I read on TT about a tatula sv coming out.

I'd probably throw the hudd at him after he said persnickety.

200 budget give or take. Over 200 with super tuning. Lowest I'd go is 3/8oz maybe slightly less for a 1/4oz+soft plastic. Highest is 1/2 oz maybe 3/4. Fishing timber and brush piles and while I have a punching set up I may be tempted to toss into some water shield which isn't as thick as a grass mat.

Also looking at daiwa t3 1016. Still on light side but better drag and can engage clutch with the hood system. Will be pushing budget. The 8 to 1 ballistic is interesting but not as refined. I know I'm throwing a lot out there, but I've got a few months to get my ducks in order.

Read numerous places where they are great pitchers and with a carbontex upgrade they are used even for punching (don't think I'd go that far)

Pixzillas are highly thought of. I like to tinker and over time I can build it up. First would be drag then gear set. I've yet to hear a bad thing about them but they are pushing my budget. Tdz can be had at good price and are a step up from fuego. Carbontex upgrade is cheap and easy. However it and the fuego have a low ipt.

It can be upgraded with 6.8 px gear set though for less than 80 bucks...not quite the speed of the tatula type r though.

I have experienced fatigue with my 7 to 1 tatula on the *** rod and it doesn't palm great which I noticed when I got my first tdz. I would use my tdz but I love it on my 671 steez. It's a light combo that I can cast reaction baits all day. Starting to lean back towards tatula 100xs. The drag is great and the speed would be excellent if I wanted to toss cavitrons. I just have this notion of a reel that would glide the bait effortlessly. Is the spool on the type r tatula that much better than regular tatula for pitching? I saw on japan tackle that the type r spool weighed less than the tatula jdm shallow spool.

Rod is only 5.3 oz and zillion tws is too expensive

Anyone with experience with an alpha ito ai? I've read alphas have durability issues

I'm starting to specialize my combos and have a nice 13 *** 7'3" h flipping rod that needs a reel. What Daiwa reel past and present that can be had for less than $200 offers the best performance or super tuning path to be an effortless pitcher? My cheap first option is a 8 to 1 type r tatula. However weight is a factor and I haven't read much on its pitching ability. Other options are pixy, alphas, zillions, and tdz. Most of them that are affordable have lower ratios in the low 20s for inches per turn. I believe pixy and alpha can be bumped to 6.8 but what of zillions? Tdz are slower but very refined, would all I need is bearings and a shallow spool? Thanks for the help.

Let me try to sum this up for op Short shank ewg for brush bumping cranks. Short shank means less likely to snag. Regular shank for jerkbaits as it's more open water and the added length helps snag bass who tend to swipe at jerks. Lipless cranks can use either

These flew off the TW shelves

Need a budget to work with. In general a h fast action rod. Your choice of length with a 7 to 1 reel or faster.

That's brilliant. They have a special collar too unlike most banded skirts which would make it easy to thread on line and not worry about losing strands!

Rather than starting a new thread I'll bump this. I'm looking at a pixy to upgrade to a Zilla and I love tinkering with reels. I need a reel for pitching and I'm assuming this reel excels due to better spool start up? Are there any other spools that fit the pixy? I'm sure this would be a better pitching reel than a tatula with shallow tatula spool.
