Super User .ghoti. Posted June 1, 2010 Super User Posted June 1, 2010 Had a great trip the weekend before last, fishing with Kent and Speedy Madewell. Long story, but Kent was using some of my gear Saturday. We were fishing a bluff wall, looking for a little action from the brown fish. After seeing Kent drop his bait right on target several casts in a row, I remarked that he had really gotten dialed in with that unfamiliar rig. He said, I really like this reel, what is it? I have to repeat; he said, I really like this reel, what is it? IT WAS A DAIWA! If I hadn't been seated, I may well have fallen out of the boat. Just thought you members of the Shimano Posse needed to know what your Sheriff is saying in more refined company. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D On a different note; this was my second trip with Speedy Madewell. If you're ever looking for a guide in the Pickwick area, be sure to call him. Reasonable rates, awesome boat and tackle, a top notch guide with intimate knowledge of the river, and a great guy to ride around in the boat with. In the two trips I made with him, he put us on fish when a lot of other people on the river were getting skunked. Quote
Uncle Leo Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 The sky is falling, the sky is falling!!!!!!!!! You got him hooked,. I bet he buys a Steez. Quote
Super User skunked_again Posted June 2, 2010 Super User Posted June 2, 2010 i like Daiwa. very respectable gear. i would go so far as to highly recommend Daiwa reels and Shimano rods. now i wait for more of ArticCats bruising PM's Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted June 2, 2010 Super User Posted June 2, 2010 Wow ! Of course, what would have made this a better story is if he said he really liked the reel ..................................... and it turned out to be a BPS Pro Qualifier Quote
ToledoEF Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Wow !Of course, what would have made this a better story is if he said he really liked the reel ..................................... and it turned out to be a BPS Pro Qualifier If such words were uttered, they would forever be in my signature in every post I make lol1 Quote
LAO162 Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 I'll believe it when I see a Stella selling for dirt cheap in the flea market ;D May not a Pro Qualifier, but how about a Prodigy by Daiwa?? Quote
steezy Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 The sky is falling, the sky is falling!!!!!!!!! You got him hooked,. I bet he buys a Steez. I expect to see a Steez replace that Core50 on his G.Loomis MBR842. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted June 2, 2010 Super User Posted June 2, 2010 Hmm... Rule #1: What happens at the river stays at the river... Okay, the truth is I REALLY liked Gary's Fuego. In addition to it's highly acclaimed standard features, this particular reel was super tuned, including hand polished gears. The performance of the reel was a dead solid 10! Oh! BTW... The icing on the cake was 3-4lb brown fish! http://www.tackletour.com/reviewdaiwafuego.html ;D ;D : ;D ;D Quote
Super User Raul Posted June 2, 2010 Super User Posted June 2, 2010 Well, what can I say ? now RW knows why I can 't decide what I like more between Daiwas and Shimanos. Man, if he liked the Fuego I can only wonder how much he would like a TDZ or a Pixy ( even if it 's "pink" ). Quote
Super User J Francho Posted June 2, 2010 Super User Posted June 2, 2010 I threatened sending him my Ito to use for a month, and then dare to compare it to his Calais. he chickened out, LMAO. Glad to see him expanding his horizons. Someone should slip him a Quantum Mickey on the next trip. :) Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted June 3, 2010 Super User Posted June 3, 2010 Next time I send you some reels, keep what you want and send me your favorite "off brand" for a trial. 8-) Quote
Super User J Francho Posted June 3, 2010 Super User Posted June 3, 2010 I can't believe you called Yuki Ito "off brand." LMAO.... Quote
midnighthrasher Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Someone has obviously poisonned him!!! Come back to us RW!!! Quote
Super User Raul Posted June 3, 2010 Super User Posted June 3, 2010 Someone has obviously poisonned him!!! Come back to us RW!!! nah, nah, I don 't think someone poisoned him, me thinks he just grabbed that unfamiliar rig freewillingly and poisoned himself in the process, kinda like stepping on poison ivy.
