Big-Bass

The one that was just recently replaced by the LT that just came out. It has the foam round grip.

Is the knob on the Daiwa Fuego 3000 spinning something I could replace with an RCS cork knob or other Daiwa flat rubber knob? Thanks!

It does? I thought the Steez XT did but not the Elite series...that's good to know if it does!

Wait a minute...is it the length of the rod or the action? Just kidding...but I have contemplated a steelhead rod for spinning techniques and river fishing for both bass and trout.

Anything?

The Tatula retails for $149, the Cronos for $169, and the Tatula Elite for $179 I believe but all seem to have similar graphite configurations. The Tatula has SVF, the Cronos has Braiding-X and cross wrap HVF, and the TE has SVF with nanotechnology. I already own both a Cronos 7' M casting, a 7' Tatula Elite M/MH Ehrler AGS rod, but am interested in the spinning rods as a nice match for my Luvias 3012H for neds, hair jigs, small tubes, and drop shot. Thanks!

Any opinions on these three rod lines in the 7'6" spinning models both F and XF? What does each excel at and what is the best rod of the bunch (yes I know the Elite has AGS guides) but I mean blank, actions, etc. and graphite technology compared to each other. Thank you!

Nice looking Ito.

Maybe RH/LH interchangeable like most reels?

Here's some info that I could find:Daiwa Fuego LT (Light & Tough):http://www.tackledirect.com/daiwa-fuego ... reels.htmlTatula LT:http://www.tackledirect.com/daiwa-tatul ... reels.htmlBallistic LT:http://www.tackledirect.com/daiwa-balli ... reels.htmlI think they look great! Hopefully they are improvements over the old models and the Tatula (which looks like it replaces the Procyon) looks like a nice addition.

Sweet! Looks like an Ito with the new ZPI spool at the Tackle Trap and either some ZPI or SLP screws and accessories. I bet it will look great!

Bassmaster has all the ICAST products for preview...there is also a Curado rod and a Conquest/Loomis rod (price is insane). I am sort of excited to see what Daiwa has to offer (since what Bassmaster has is stuff already out and the new stuff will be seen in the next weeks).

Love my Luvias 3012H on a medium St. Croix Legend Xtreme...nothing wrong with the 2500 size but the 3000 offers better line lay and a bigger drag.

I have between 45-50 reels so yes I have a serious reel buying issue haha.

Has anyone heard of these (new I think) Tatula reels with cork knobs? They look really nice but can't seem to find more info on them...I think there was a YouTube video but can't seem to find it. Here is a link from another forum: http://www.tackletour.net/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=75246 Hopefully these reels are coming to the states. Thanks and best wishes on the water!

So a 200 Curado J but what about the 70 I? Is there going to be a new 70 size? Or 50?

Is there a picture?

I tested out a few Sierra rods and they would not lock down fully. Never saw this before with Fuji seats but I know what you mean.

I have the 7' M/MH AGS Ehrler rod that I may pair up with a Steez LTD Limited 105. Should be an awesome finesse/weightless setup.

Just got back from a great trip to the 1000 Islands and while there I was using my brand new Daiwa Luvias 3012H spinning reel on a St. Croix Legend Xtreme 7' MF spinning rod. Yesterday morning, I noticed that the stem of the reel near the reel seat was scuffed with some paint loss right along where I split the reel with my fingers to hold both it and the rod. I have my wedding ring on and its smooth with tapered edges but could this have caused the loss of paint? I don't believe any of my other reels have this wear (but I could be wrong I would have to look). Would it be the wedding ring or just weaker paint since I have been married for quite some time and clean/baby my gear and never have noticed this type of wear. Not that it really matters since the reel is really awesome but just thought I would ask if this has happened to anyone else. Thanks!

200 size I guess from what I also read. Tackle Tour has some more info and some pictures.

I have a few of the Berkley baits and the Dredger in 10.5 and 14.5 have been excellent. I also have the smaller square bill in I think 5.5 and that is also a great bait. Plus the Digger 8.5 in Vintage craw is awesome. Great line of baits!

I am sure the Curado will get an overhaul but the Chronarch line is special to me. I always felt it should continue with the aluminum and this might be the opportunity for it to become another classic like the SF and the D.

Looks like they are on their way for ICAST 2017! There are a few pictures of the Chronarch G online but haven't seen the new Sustain yet. Hopefully they are nice reels! Some of the folks on TT might have more info but I was just passing it along. Thanks and best wishes on the water!

Get a Citica.
