True. Have put the same reel on two different rods using the same lure. Casting distance was nowhere near equal. 28 minutes ago, freelancer27 said: I think I have come to a decision! I will follow Gary's advice (from tackletrap) and get the following combo: * Reel: Daiwa Zillion SV TW * Rod: Megabass F5-72XX Diablo Spec-R * Line: 30 pound test Sufix 832 Braid Lo-Vis Green (I will attach a Fluro leader if needed) I think I am getting most what I want from this combo. Robust set up, Distance, good warranty and versatility for the set of applications that I am looking for: (Spinnerbaits, lip less crankbaits, small swimbaits - 3/8 - 1oz). What ya thinking? My Diablo Spec-R has a 50th Anniversary Zillion on it. I think you will enjoy your new combo. Congratulations According to Megabass advertising, that is the most versatile rod in that line. Unfortunately this has been a very bad year for me being able to get out fishing, so I don't have much time with the rod yet. A little review from you would be nice once you have spent some time with the combo. 1 Quote
