  1. Sweet i may look into the sv105 then. And go with a medium light rod correct?
  2. Same here. Expensive tackle off the bank or a jon boat
  3. Wut about an SOL or Chronarch 50MG?
  4. What are some suggestions for a solid finesse baitcaster. SV105? SOL? Either shimano or daiwa. Something that can get me decent distance with small poppers and such
  5. When u say skimpy hardware what parts r u referring to? And on some of Shimanos less expensive options or on the higher end stuff like the Met,etc? Just curious. Ive always been under the impression the Lews/Abu stuff is nowhere near the build quality of shimano/daiwa
  6. Tatula CT Hands down . Casitas 2nd. Ive owned Lews and wasnt impressed in the least bit.
  7. Anyone get their hands on one? Theyve been on backorder for like 2 months now. Ive called and asked when in stock and the date arrived and they still show backorder. My local bps has one model in stock. A spinning rod and it feels ridiculously nice and looks great. Just curious have any of u guys handled any. On one page someone said the blanks were made by NFC. No idea if thats true
  8. Look at Hammer Rods cranking series
  9. My J Dream came in yesterday and wanting to get the cork knobs for it. question is i see japantackle has em for $16 which ones is everyone getting? The plastic coated cork ones or the uncoated? And u buy the Thanks! Also reccomendations on a handle as the 6.3 handle is a touch short
  10. The fuego is probably the better reel even tho the caenan felt fine in my hands. The powell diesel rods can be found for around $50. Been impressed with mine for the price
  11. The only sk2 rod i hav fished was a glass rod. I just didnt find the trigger to be comfortable in my hand. Just much prefer the ecs.
  12. I was set on getting a max 3d until i saw they use the sk2 reel seat. Just not a fan of that. They have a new rod coming out this fall (photos on facebook) and looks like it will have the ecs seat
  13. I use it for everything..aside from froggin or flippin. My brand of choice is McCoy. Great stuff
  14. Awesome. Thats pretty much what im lookin for in this reel. Just bought it from a guy. Anxiously awaiting its arrival!
  15. Awesome! What techniques do u use yours with?
  16. Found a pretty good deal on a 6.3 j dream. Should i snag it or hold out for a 7.9? Didnt realize the 7.9 had the longer handle which i like. I figure id use the reel for some cranking,spinnerbaits,topwater,liplesscranks,etc. will i think the 6.3 is too slow?
  17. I like the way u put it Silas. Kinda why im leaning towards a j dream
  18. Anyone still fish the daiwa j dream? Still a great reel or has some of the newer stuff surpassed it in performance. I found a couple im considering buying one but was also found an SV103. Would the sv103 be the better option or should i grab a J dream?
  19. Another to consider is a used Citica 200E. Usually can find for 70-80. But yea id go PQ if buying new
  20. Just get the damaged one
  21. Ive used both. Owned a couple Lews (super duty and tournament pro) as well as a Tatula and a Zillion. I did not care for the Lews at all. Theyre a touch lighter but overall i much preferred the tatula. Easy to dial in. Casts great. I did sell it becuz it was a tad large for my puny hands but the newer CT Tatula palms a little better
  22. Yeah i want an MGL as well. I just know these sv103 are getting hard to find.
  23. The met mgl significantly outcasts the sv103?
