Super User ww2farmer Posted February 16, 2009 Super User Posted February 16, 2009 What are some things not available (at least in stock form) that you guys would want to see made? Rods or reels, from any mfg. Some of mine are pipe dreams, but, lol, winter is getting old. Reels: Low geared Daiwa (5.x:1) based on the TD-A frame/tooling, available in BOTH LH or RH retreive. (they used to) All Revo's to be made with the 6-pin brake ,insted of that magnetic brake they now have. (funny how the SKT, and winch and higher end JDM Revos have that) How about a 300 size Citica or a new Casitic based on the new Citica. Rods: St Croix to expand the LTB rod's to include: a 6'10" MH/XF casting rod, my "ideal" length/power for a close quarters pitching rod. And maybe a 6' MH/MF casting rod, for pinpoint casting of square billed cranks in tight cover. From Fenwick, add a lower priced "Bass specific" series of rods, on the HMX blank, some what similer to St Croix and the Mojo line. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 16, 2009 Super User Posted February 16, 2009 Low geared Daiwa (5.x:1) based on the TD-A frame/tooling, available in BOTH LH or RH retreive.that would be the Sol/Alphas. Same reel, but 2/3 the size. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 16, 2009 Super User Posted February 16, 2009 Oh, and I forgot about the TDA150P. They're out of production, but you might find one scouring the web. Quote
=Matt 5.0= Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 A Van Staal reel for around $250. :-? Or, to have Penn start making the 704z/706z again. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 16, 2009 Super User Posted February 16, 2009 I would like a Shimano Core that feels like my Calais. I would also like a G. Loomis GLX Senko baitcasing rod that is between 6'6'' and 7' with medium power. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted February 17, 2009 Super User Posted February 17, 2009 Garcia to redo the STX with the same braking as on the Patriarch along with the availability of a low speed cranker and a Titanium plated finish. They could also add the free floating line guide as was on the old XLT Ultra Mag Plus reels. Quote
Thefishy1 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I think everyone is thinking it so I'll go How about a split grip BCR 854 GLX Loomis Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted February 17, 2009 Super User Posted February 17, 2009 I think everyone is thinking it so I'll go How about a split grip BCR 854 GLX Loomis I would be one of the first ones in line if that ever happened. Pity it never will anytime soon. :-/ Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted February 17, 2009 Super User Posted February 17, 2009 I'd like to see Megabass offer warranties on their rods. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 17, 2009 Super User Posted February 17, 2009 I'd like to see Megabass offer warranties on their rods. With their recent alliance with Daiwa, I suspect this becoming a reality. Let's hope. Quote
Matt 825 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I would love for Shimano to make 2000 sized spinning reels again. I love the old Stradic 2000 FG. If they would make a Stradic 2000 FI I would be in cloud 9. Quote
Infidel. Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Ardent or one of the US based salt water reel companies like Avet or Accurate to make a good US baitcasting reel. Quote
Flywatersmallie Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Higher gearing in Team Daiwa spinning reels.. Quote
JWR075 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 How about an alum Steedz Daiwa to put alconite guides on the L&T and TD-S series rods Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted February 28, 2009 Super User Posted February 28, 2009 Somebody mentioned Alconite guides. I too would like to see them more widely used. I would also like to see spincast reels with higher gear ratio for the youngsters. It is hard for them to fish a spinnerbait etc at 3.6:1 Quote
sal669 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I wish Daiwa would make a BC reel "line" like the 153HSTL, in 5:1, 6:1 and 7:1 gearing in both RH and LH, in the same price range. : I would sell all my reels and get the same reel (different gears) for all the rods. Anybody from Daiwa reading this post ????? Quote
crappiekid24 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I would also like to see Daiwa offer 7:1 in their BC reels like the Tierra and Advantage. Quote
