That looks great!

Me too...just confused on the new 70 size. But I do like the color scheme.

I use the Randy Howell original Tatula (black and gold) 7' ML casting rod rated for 1/4-5/8oz. baits that has the short, full grip handle. It's am impressive rod. I also use it for cranks but it is all graphite. For larger cranks, I use a Legend Glass 74MH. Those OG Tatula rods are really great rods!

You mean like this reel...

Oh I picked the rod up...it's beautiful!!! However, I can't get out on the water due to the weather. I am planning on putting a tricked out SV103XS on it. It should be really, really, nice! I have talked to Gary Dobyns personally about the rod, also spoke with guys who use NRX rods and many have said that they like the Xtasy better than the NRX. Especially from a balance standpoint.

Buy the Morrum 5600C that I have in the classifieds that was tuned by Ian Shields. It is an amazing reel that needs a new spot on a swimbait rod!

Grabbed a bunch of them too! Both the fat and the slim. They are backordered but the order was placed at that price.

Haha...my bad!

Top row is copper (to the right of the two poppers). The second row is actually gold/black back/orange belly, but the smaller 3 1/2 inch ones are a combo of gold and copper. That color (well a similar version) has been working well for me in slightly stained water and can be super effective in tannic waters.

Oh I totally agree! So many folks are "anglers" because they caught a fish once on a trip where they sat until they were handed a rod that already had a hooked fish on it, was told step by step what to do, had someone land it, unhook it, and filet on board a luxury yacht.

Ordered these Thursday, and they arrived today: Yes...that's 51 baits for a total of $75.48 shipped to my door!

How about these: https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/shimano-beastmaster-electric-reel?hvarAID=shopping_googleproductextensions&affcode_c=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIupO30LzF3wIVj1YNCh0wkAAPEAQYAiABEgI4KPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Or better yet and true insanity... https://www.tackledirect.com/daiwa-dendoh-mp3000-24-volt-marine-power-reel.html

Cabela's Mean Eye Jerkbaits are $1.48 per bait. Excellent jerkbait! I bought a bunch!

It is the Japanese version of the Chronarch 100SF. I have one that is essentially NIB. They were a great reel at the time and still are today. Find an old school G. Loomis MBR and match it up and you should be in business!

You should sell me that spool!

Can you post some pictures of the reel? How smooth is it? What other models does it compare to? Thanks!

You'd be crazy not to get all four at that price.

That should be really nice!

Sure thing! That spool can fetch some serious $$$!

Nope. Sunline mono in Mizu Blue. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Sunline_Super_Natural_Monofilament_330yd/descpage-SLSNM.html

I just picked up some Sunlike in blue so I wonder how visible it will be (if any) underwater.

Never heard of them...

I bet an SV model will be released at the Classic.

If you don't want that SV103 and don't want to worry about a hassle with Daiwa should something unlikely come up, please send it my way. I would buy if from you for what you paid. Thanks and let me know.

I have the chance to pick up an Xtasy for $385 or an Champion HP for $259. Should I just get the 754 Xtasy over the 744 HP? That's basically 30% off of either model. Thank you!
