i have a few bait casting reels a few Daiwa's and a few Shimano SLX and the SLX XT model, i am liking the Shimano's bait casters, i am itchin to buy another bait caster that will an upgrade from the XT. i am thinking of the SLX DC or some reel that is moving forward and not backwards from the SLX XT model. any thoughts, 200 dollar max chet

where is the deal now on Zman finesse TRD chet

yesterday was the first time i used these Zman TRD baits, first thing i noticed is they are very hard to get over the barbs on the jig heads, they keep slipping off, any tricks to keep them in place on the jig chet

i called and the message said to leave an email about the reel, still waiting. is this common long wait times chet

my son has the Lews KVD 4000 spinning reel, maybe 7-8 mos old, he tells me about once in about in every 40 or 50 cast, when the lure is casted about half way out the bail closes, any ideas what i can check for chet

any comments on the new Daiwa XT spinning rod, i was thinking about the TXT701MLFS rod. are they a good bang for the buck at 100 dollars, i never actually felt the weight on them yet, i hope they are light. chet

Daiwa Legalis

i did read elsewhere about customer service... that rod is out.. anything comparable as light with a nice handle like the Edge chet

i was fishing today from shore, guy near was fishing with a Edge spinning rod by Loomis, i tried it and seems like a fantastic rod even moreso than my new Daiwa Tatula spinning rod. anyone used these rods and any thoughts, it was super light too chet

how are their hfx spinning rods, was looking at the chet Halo HFX Series Spinning Rod 7'6" Medium

i picked up a new daiwa tatula rod a few weeks ago and my first cast was 3 yds, my yard my neighbors yd and his neighbors yd. (lol) chet

funny no one mentions about the garcia reels, guess i will go with another legalis

my son bought me a new Daiwa Tatula spinning rod, dealer finally got them in stock, so now i want to put a size 30 or maybe a 25 reel on it, i love my Daiwa reels but after my sons last Tatula reel (200 dollars) only 4 or 5 months old the anti reverse failed, he sent it back and Daiwa responded they wanted 90 bucks charge for a special lube and yada ect, so i said sand it back and i repaired it myself, so it brings me to want to try another brand, i seem to find the Legalis reels very smooth, but still want to try something different, i have a few shimano's they are ok, but still seem to see the Legalis reels are smoother, so are the Garcia's in the run for smooth spinning reels never had one in spinning, but have a few older garcia bait casters and they are great. what is the popular Garcia spinning reels these days that are smooth ect, in the 125 dollar range. chet

i want to add about the Daiwa warranty, my son has a Daiwa spinning reel not sure on the model, anti reverse not working, but it was close to 200 dollars, after 4 months of use he tells me he is gonna send it in to Daiwa along with the bill of sale, Daiwa calls a week later and said the reel can be repaired for 90 dollars, i ask about the warranty, guy said special lube is needed and yada yada, so i said send it back. they did and i took it apart and it was easy got to the anti reverse bearing, i washed it with WD 40 and relubed it with CLP oil. been working fine since, i own a few daiwa spinning reels no issues yet. but i thought Daiwa gave me a runaround on this claim chet

curious if anyone knows the weight of the 763SF XP. spinning rod chet i am down to 2 rods either the dobyns above or the Daiwa TTU761MLMFS

almost a 9mm pistol lol...

i never carry a pocket knife, but i can't tell ya how many times fishing this year, i wish i had one, so now i am after one for my pocket, nothing too big and heavy, maybe something with a 3 in blade, around there. chet

what would be good color choices for the susquehanna small mouths here in the NE PA area chet

was looking about the bags, after searching i did see there are some companies offering storage bags, from not seeing them, not sure of the material, don't want zip lock material bags too soft, as i mentioned above i like the strike king bag that the coffee tubes came in, what would that type of material be used on that bag. is the plano 3700 bag the best, any other places who have a good quality bag. any comments on these https://barlowstackle.com/Laminated-Worm-Bags-P3705/ are they the same as the oem strike king bag chet

sir i looked at the TW site, not sure what you mean by logo version, can you be more specific, would that be tw brand chet sir i looked at the TW site, not sure what you mean by logo version, can you be more specific, would that be tw brand chet after looking at the other options, i still need to stay with the low profile type boxes to fit in my backpack that holds (4) 3700 boxes, so not it brings me to the next question, is bags, are the plano stowaway 3700 size bags i see at TW the way to go or are there there better options in bags, i really like the bag that came with my Strike King Coffee tubes chet

i am after a plastic worm box to keep my oem bags of plastics, i was looking at the Plano 371610, but after reading reviews, most are saying the hinges are weak, any thoughts on a more durable one, i want to keep the tray box type like 2 3/4 ect thick. chet
