Awesome! https://www.hedgehog-studio.co.jp/phone/product/3766 Are these what you’re talking about? -Thanks

I ordered this reel from Japan and didn’t notice the different spool. Every steez a I see online has a mag force spool and not an sv, is this like a jdm model or was the sv spool put in by the seller? Thanks

I can get a cheaper spool for the 2500 then the 3000 and would like to have 2 just in case I want to switch from flourocarbon to braid, thank you for the help though!

I currently have a daiwa ballistic LT3000D-C, I was wondering if I could buy a 2500 spool and interchange them? -Thanks

Awesome, thank you!

I am looking to get a replica made but not knowing length or girth seems to be an issue, when I measured my hand and estimated the length that way it came out to around 25inches, does anyone have any estimates on length for this fish knowing that weight is 9lbs? Otherwise thank you everyone for you’re help!

I agree, thank you!

Went out fishing with a guide today and caught this monster. We weight it and it went 9.08lbs. We got a rough estimate with fishing line for a replica but they came out to 29in by 21.5. That would make it wayyy bigger. Would you guys say the weight seems accurate for a fish this big? I caught it here in Florida and I’m from Minnesota so a fish this big to me is insane and I can’t even throw an estimate out there.

Alright thanks man! Thanks everyone else too for the experiences/ input.

Alright think I’m probably going to just get a new spool for it, what spool should I pick up for it?

But after spending that much money is the SV light LTD going to already have these upgrades? How does that one compare to the SS SV? I don’t know if I want to spend another 100 something bucks on something I can have already perform good for around 300$.

Should I do that or return it and get the SV light LTD for 300$ on tackle warehouse?

I recently picked up a Daiwa SS SV 103SH, I got it for 200$ on eBay because it was a pretty good deal being that it’s MSRP is around 350$. But after looking at reviews I feel like I made a mistake. I’m going to be using it for jerkbaits and finnese swimbaits... etc. should I keep this reel or return it and get a diffrent one? If so which should I get.

My plueger president le used to click when I opened the nail and only does it when I close it now. I have taken it apart and can’t seem to find the issue. Anyone Input by anyone who works on reels or knows how to fix it would be much appreciated.

Was melting some plastics to make into new baits when my injector popped open and sprayed a little bit on my hoodie. Anyone know how to get this stuff out of you’re cloths? Lol

Been fishing this lake for 2 years now mainly for pike and walleye but have accidentally caught a few smallmouth and looking to target them. I catch the fish all over with no real indicator on where to look. Anyone who has fished this lake for them and can steer me in the right direction would be awesome!

They will definitely eat bottom contact baits but I definitely agree that they would much rather prefer something moving more and in the middle-top of the water column.

Thanks Tom, am fishing right now and have gotten one 2lber. Was fishing a swimjig through pads and weeds and caught a bunch of pike until I let it fall and hopped it right close to the shoreline on the bottom and got a bass. Switched to a flippin jig and targeting more shallow cover.

Hey Tom, this might help https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/lakefind/showreport.html?downum=01004000 Small pike, big bluegills and little walleye population. 8lber was a verified state record before it was broken, so no fish tale. And you are correct, down stream lake is larger, darker colored, pike and walleye population and almost no largemouth but a few smallmouth.

My parents got a place on a walleye lake with practically zero bass in the lake but there is a lake connected to it where an 8lber was caught ( Giant for MN ). I have been running up to the lake when I get the chance and can get a few sometimes but nothing consistent. The entire shoreline of the lake is covered in wild rice with lily pads here and there. No houses on the lake just straight wild rice and pads. I have thrown crankbaits in the deeper basins on the edge of the wild rice and pads on the shoreline with decent success but with the fall turnover all I can seem to get is pike... yesterday I picked up two bass flippin, one in the wild rice and the other I saw bust in 10ft of water and flipped my 1oz weight to it and got him. Just confused on where to start with the whole lake littered with cover and how to adjust with the turnover

Awesome man! Caught my first 2 muskies this year. Looks like you got yourself a tiger muskie! A tiger is next on my bucket list of fish to catch.

Use it for swimbaits but curious to how it would work out for flipping.

I have the 7’1” Andy Montgomery skippin jig rod and I love it for all the things you listed

Found this laying around, just curious as to what bait it is. I’m guessing it’s made by storm but can’t find anything online.
