Which model is that? My Bunker Buster arrives tomorrow

I’ve got one of these too. Pretty nice but obviously you can’t have all your reels attached. Been eyeing this one too https://tackletrap.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=70_1031_3174&products_id=16274

Helped the girlfriend place an order for her parents to give me at Christmas. Can always use more jigs! Oh and folks should take advantage of the random jig packs, always fun to see what shows up

I’m gonna try and place my TW order this evening when hopefully traffic is lighter

I'd been eyeing the Bunker Buster since they came out and couldn't pass this deal up, think it should work well for me. Looks like all models sold out now.

15% off at Siebert Outdoors until 11/30 with code winter15. Stock up on those jigs y’all!

The SV spool of course

Personally, I'm not too worried about limited line capacity but I can see your concern, especially if you are dealing with big pike. What brand of braid are you using? I'm thinking maybe start with 20# and see how it goes.

Welcome! I really like the look of the Triza rods, been eyeing getting one myself. I think the Steez CT will be a great match for the Triza StymPalides. While it is a smaller reel, plenty of people use them for techniques beyond finesse. As far as line goes, I think 20-40# braid would be good, though I'm not that familiar with European waters.

Contact the guys at the tackle trap and they should be able to help you choose

What are your intended applications? I have a couple and really like them

The Megabass Japan website lists it at 126 grams

I’ve done some skipping with my SD and it works quite well. Very versatile rod. Just one word of caution, while the handle is cool and transmits vibration nicely, it’s hard to hold if you don’t wipe your hands off well. Water isn’t an issue but greasy stuff like sunscreen or oil from soft plastics can be a problem.

What’s your budget? I use a 6’8” mh rod for most of my skipping, mainly 3/8oz jigs and 4” tubes. I’m no expert though

I have a px type r on mine and it balances nicely. I feel the power is best described as a light medium heavy, perhaps somewhere between a Dobyns 3 and 4 power. Definitely not overpowered for wacky rigs, though I do throw 5-6” Senkos and use a heavier hook than many people

I’m a stickler when it comes to maintaining and cleaning my equipment. That said, a little wear and tear is inevitable with use, and is kinda something to be proud of. On the other hand, I see people treat their equipment like crap and it really bothers me. If you are going to spend the money on nice stuff then take care of it. Same goes for homes, vehicles, or whatever else you buy

Hair tie or rubber band is perfect

12# fluoro is just about the perfect match with the dark sleep rod in my opinion.

It will work great for finesse worming! I've used mine a bit for shakeyheads and smaller curly tail worms with good success. What reel/line do you plan on using?

I have the Dark Sleeper and absolutely love it, but pitching a jig to any serious cover is prob a no go for me. It makes an excellent finesse jig and small profile football jig rod. I've also used it quite a bit for tubes (the reason I bought it), light t rigs, wacky rigs, wobbleheads, and paddletails. I'm also planning to try spinnerbaits and cranks with it in the coming weeks.

Go with the Cyclone, its a very versatile and fun rod to use. My Cyclone is not the P5, but I'm guessing they fish pretty similar.

It worked on Black Friday, might be worth giving them a call
