Super User Goose52 Posted July 17, 2015 Super User Posted July 17, 2015 Finally got the met out with its new partner. No big fish but the dinks were chewing the jig: Decided to put it on a megabass orochi xx emtf. Perfect 3/8 ounce jig combo. It's like they were made for each other: Line on the reel and fish slime - outstanding ! 2 Quote
Joe H. Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Line on the reel and fish slime - outstanding ! You got that right: I didn't get that smallie to pose like that without it jumping all over the rod and reel first 1 Quote

Joe H. Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 WOW!!! love it im getting a metanium soon mabey i just found the right rod for it!!!!!!! Do it! It's not the lightest combo but the balance is great compared to Nrx 893 with the same reel. Very versatile as well. I've used it mostly with jigs and plastics but it handles swimbaits and even squarebills nicely. First combo I've had in a while that I have nothing but good things to say about... Can't wait for more time on the water with it. 1 Quote

clh121787 Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Nice combos! I used to be loomified. Until these came along. Next will be the levetian. Now that's a stick! 1 Quote
jdl2425 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 My first JDM reel. Unfortunately it could use a new anti-reverse bearing but other than that I'm happy. Couldn't pass up the color scheme on it. Not sure why the pictures are showing up sideways. 2 Quote

Super User rippin-lips Posted July 21, 2015 Super User Posted July 21, 2015 Is this the same reel, or did you get another one? Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted July 21, 2015 Super User Posted July 21, 2015 I didn't think the spools were available yet. Great just what I needed haha 1 Quote

Super User rippin-lips Posted July 21, 2015 Super User Posted July 21, 2015 Got a call about 30 minutes ago that my reel was finished being painted. Can't wait to get this TD-Z back together. It'll have 6:3.1 gears,Steez 100 spool, and boca abec 7's. Also scored a 90mm 100m handle for it. This should be a nice little caster. Maybe I'll stay up late and assemble it. 1 Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted July 22, 2015 Super User Posted July 22, 2015 Well I had to get this thing back in one piece. I kept debating on having the handle color matched when it was there. I believe now it's together I'll have him paint it too. I have a pxr drag star for it but I'm liking the stock look for now. Maybe a 90mm carbon handle in the future. 6 Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted July 22, 2015 Super User Posted July 22, 2015 Where is this one going...would look sick on a Phase III Destroyer or X7. 1 Quote

Super User kickerfish1 Posted July 22, 2015 Super User Posted July 22, 2015 Sharp looking reel Ripp'n! Looks like the paint job is pretty similar to the original. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted July 22, 2015 Super User Posted July 22, 2015 Sharp looking reel Ripp'n! Looks like the paint job is pretty similar to the original. Thanks. Yeah pretty close. A few shades darker with more metallic. He asked me what color and I told him I didn't care. Either some sort of metallic grey, or black. He said well here's a motorcycle tank I just painted, and walked me over to it. It wasn't cleared yet, but I liked the color so I said that'll work. Made it easier on him too. 1 Quote
ThatZX14Fella Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I know you guys have seen tons and tons of these, but I just go my first $150+ dollar reel and I have to show it off. Plan to maybe do a few mods to it later on. 2 Quote

Plan to maybe do a few mods to it later on. 100_3275.JPG 100_3276.JPG 100_3277.JPG Those tatulas are fine reels! I have two of them and to me they are perfect for anything over 1/4oz. I have tried alot of different reels from all the big manufacturers and daiwa really impressed me. The only reel I have that I like more than the tatula is my pixy px68, that is the smoothest reel I have ever had the pleasure of fishing. 1 Quote
