Thanks SS! Rod is due to arrive this Thursday. We have about 6 inches of snow on the ground so it will be a bit before I can use it

Any update on how you like this rod for the applications you listed. Im interested in it for the same reasons.

Does the flyssa have the same reel seat/handle as the addermine? Seems like a great open water rod for smallies.

Thanks! That's helps alot. I'll have to look elsewhere then.

Drove home, during lunch, to check out the 6'10" Fantasista that got dropped off by UPS. The rod shipped from Hodgkins, Il, so I was hoping it would get to Michigan in good shape. It's everything I expected it to be. I've been wanting to try a Fanatasista for a long time. What a steal for $158 ship...

I've got the 6'8" MH speedstyle rod but the two piece version. I actually love the reel seat. I personally like to completely palm my reels and this reel seat was designed just for that. I've got small hands and I'm still able to palm depending on the reel. It really shines with a small reel like an...

For the guys that broke their new xx rods. Why not just return the rods to the store vs going through the warranty process? I would hate to waste the one "free" warranty claim on a new barely used rod. I've got the Diablo and Brailist on pre-order, hoping for no issues with mines but sometimes u ne...

I was interested in this spare spool for my Casitas until I saw the price on Hedgehogs website. $97! That's nearly the price of a new Casitas! Might as well just buy the jdm reel on ebay.

I like the tatula reel better on the tatula rod reel seat, compared to the Fuji ecs reel seat. Just grips better because the tat rod seat is slimmer. Matters to me cuz i got smaller hands. Got my tat rod for cheaper too.

I wasn't getting as much distance with 1/4 lures either compared to my regular tp. I got dobyns 764cb, but with 10 lb yozuri hybrid . Was thinking bout buying a regular spool that holds less line than the 5.4 spool. Should help with lighter lures. But haven't flushed bearings, maybe I'll try that. M...

Maybe I'm missing something. Is the bb1 frame completely different that palming it isn't the same as the tourney pro? If they are different, then yes, I'd like to see the tourney pro with this braking system, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

I've had good luck using those. The guard does get chewed up after a couple fish. I had one get loose and slide down the hook. Won't last forever but I'm still happy with them.

That spool is super light. How light? (If anyone can answer this, please indicate whether the weight includes a spool bearing.) http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad119/tywithay/IMG_51953037149059.jpeg Tatula doesn't have a bearing on the spool shaft. One in the non-handle sideplate, other is under...

Don't know if it's mentioned already but my type r spool weights 0.57 oz.

Entire reel weighs 7.72 oz. I have the Lefty high speed, if that matters at all.

Love my sustain. My buddy has the stradic Fj, not badbut still prefer the sustain. Noticeably Lighter and just looks bad ass. Now, I wouldn't pay retail for it though. Wait for a sale and you'll save money. Bass tackle depot just had the sustain on sale labor day. Now if I were to buy a reel today, ...
