To be honest, those look like something I would never throw.

They did not. They shipped in a makeshift rectangle cardboard box with no padding/bubble wrap inside to speak of. But the rods are good to go. No damage to the box or them.

Ordered two Daiwa rods from the site last week. Delivered without issue. Anyone know any deals on Daiwa Fuego spinning reels?

My jerkbait and small topwater rod is a ML Seth Feider.

Pretty bummed I paid $80 for a Fuego like 3 weeks ago.

Unnecessary

Yep

My thoughts are that if It was necessary, Mepps would have added them directly to the lure years ago.

Zoom speed worm or senko.

I use the 10” motor oil power worms. Love them.

I have the jdm zillion. It’s great. Was specifically looking for an inshore reel for a reds/trout setup (but something I could use for bass when not at the coast). I think I like this reel for that.

Can you explain what pinion support is? Please

Nothing fancy. Trying to figure out what to do with these rods I didn’t need.

I have zero need for these but the deal thread got me. They just came in. Rod 1 - Tatula XT casting, 7’ MH FB (I don’t know what FB is but it’s a F action), 1/4 to 1oz lure, 10-20lb line. Rod 2 - Tatula XT spinning, 7’3” MH Fast, 1/4-3/4 oz lure, 8-17lb line. If I use for bass, what techniques would you guys use on them? The other option is to put a Penn Battle II spinning reel I have on rod 2 with 20lb pp, 15lb fc leader, and get a Daiwa Coastal for rod 1 with 15 lb fc and have two setups for the few times I go to the coast for trout and reds. They would not see much use though. What do y’all think?

So this or the coastal 150 sv?

Biggest swimbait I’ll ever throw is a 7” plastic with 10/0 beast hook. Not sure the weight but it’s not a monster. My setup doubles for a-rig as well. I use the Tatula 150p. I wouldn’t hesitate getting the 300 if I threw bigger baits though.

I have three setups I like to throw Weightless t-rigged senkos on. Two have 15lb invisx one has 14lb jdm Sunline fc.

I’ve never heard of this being done on purpose.

That’s awesome. I was a little bummed that’s there’s only 3 big ones in the package. So hopefully they last.

I feel like the fish don’t care.

I know. I said that.

Every time I see this thread bumped I get excited that it’s a new giveaway.

Must resist looking at this thread.

Son is at TCU baseball camp so I took the opportunity to hit two local tackle stores. LFO Magic Shad for Chatterbait trailers 2.8” bellows gills for drop shot 5.8” bellows gills for Weightless t-rig okashira heads Zoom horny toads Jackhammer two micro Chatterbaits Spro blade frog Reins ?? some kind of Japanese worm that my daughter wanted. Looks good for drop shot.

Yeah It was the 904. My Destroyer is the P5 dark sleeper.
