Bassin4ever Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Hello bass brothers, I don't know if this topic has been discussed or not but is there anything that you guys are looking forward to seeing at ICAST this year?? I myself would like to see St. Croix make some split grip Avids with some mirco guides. I'm pretty sure that abu Garcia will make the Veritas with micro guides due to that rod selling really well but I would like to see a model strictly for cranking. Lastly...if anybody of any signifigance is affiliated with Diawa...step up to the plate and bring us something new and refreshing. Tight lines. P.S...oh...and to the reel companies, show us LEFTIES some love. Quote

X2 about Diawa and I would also like to see some budget XH rods for Punching something with some real backbone that wont break the bank. P.S Why would any reel companies make reels with the handles on the wrong side? Quote
hookingem Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Diawa needs to produce a baitcast reel in the 150-200 dollar range that is quality. Quote
s13john Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 defiantly a new shimano line up seeing that all their stuff is on closeout Quote
Bassin4ever Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 S13john, I got a BPS flyer today in the mail and it had the curado $40 off. I was going to hop in my car and get one but I figured I'd save my money for the new stuff coming out. Quote
Scorcher214 Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Diawa needs to produce a baitcast reel in the 150-200 dollar range that is quality. You haven't tried the TD Advantage then eh? I like it quite a bit! 1 Quote
s13john Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 i really like diawas but i definatly agree with hookingem. that is a super competitive spot with the lews, curados and revos all in that price spot. Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I agree with AJ (Hookingem), Diawa needs to be more competitive in that $150-$200 range. They have been around for a long time so, I know they make quality reels. But, those reels are usually a bit heavier and rated drag force is less then what is already in that price range. Cant wait for the new Shimano reels to come out, I was thinking about buying a 200E7 on closeout, but more curious about what is around the bend. Quote
midnighthrasher Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I cant wait for the new Shimano lineup!!! Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted June 4, 2011 Super User Posted June 4, 2011 On the Daiwa line's, I would like to see a budget Zillion (if thats possible) because I really love the palm-ability of that frame design. I would also like to see more rods (Casting) with the fuji ECS reel seat. They are IMO the best out there (Comfort-wise) and the rods they come on are few and far between. (Besides Quantum... Yuck.)

flippin and pitchin Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 I hope Strike King adds an Earl Grey tea flavored tube. 1 Quote
hookingem Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 You haven't tried the TD Advantage then eh? I like it quite a bit! Yeah Iv'e tried it it's definitely No Curado.... Quote
Fat-G Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Yeah Iv'e tried it it's definitely No Curado.... Haha I agree. Clary if you want my Advantage it's $100 TYD. Great condition. I agree, the Zillion is far and out the most comfortable reel for me to palm on the market. Screw the budget, get a job. Daiwa ain't gonna make your dreams come true, not this year at least. Quote
Super User webertime Posted June 5, 2011 Super User Posted June 5, 2011 I hope Strike King adds an Earl Grey tea flavored tube. With Honey Tips... Awesome. Quote
