Re: Does anyone own a G- Loomis Panfish rod?

I have both of those rods and the 6'7, 6'8 and 7'2 Trout series ultra lights and I also own the St. Croix Panfish 7'0 panfish elite.....Love each and everyone of them. I use mine paired with Daiwa 1000 size JDM reels and cast 1/16oz and 3/32oz jigheads with 1.75" to 2.5" plastics 95% of the time. PM...

Re: What’s In Your Rod Rack?

Good to hear again from you Brian! I see that you have a slight bias towards G.Loomis... :lol: You really need to do yourself a favour and try a JDM UL rod...I spent many years using UL/L Loomis rods and after my first mid-range Japanese rod there was no going back, especially for fishing SPs. The ...

Re: Ultimate speckled trout set-up

Earthworm, I do 99% ultra light and light tackle for panfish, Walleye, Bass and Trout. Have fished Florida numerous times in the past. Just never used my ultra light / light for Sea Trout or Redfish. The thought of 3" plastic's on 3/32 and 1/4oz heads excites me!! I did flick my ultra light around y...

Re: New Daiwa Exist LT FC 1000S

I have fished my two FC 1000S models hard since April. I will say that I prefer them over all the previous models with mag seal. They are more fluid and don't have that micro, slight rub feel I detect with the magseal models. Not saying my magseal models are bad, they are far from that. Just really ...

Re: New Daiwa Exist LT FC 1000S

I have the last 4 model types all in 1000 or 1025 size. I have the original model from 2007 in 2004 and 2506 size too. Don't use them but they are awesome reels. I fish ultra light / Light tackle 95% of the time so most of my reels are 1000 size. My 5 bass spinning combos all have the shallow spool ...

Re: New Daiwa Exist LT FC 1000S

I can't say how they compare now. I stopped using Stella's back in 2007 When the Exist came out in 1003 size. Stella was great I just preferred the Exist as I am a die hard Daiwa fan...The Stella's are great from everything I heard...

Re: New Daiwa Exist LT FC 1000S

Let's hope so. I would be very keen for anything ultra or light in either 6'8", 6'10 or 7'0, 7'2. Just my personal preference in lengths though......

Re: New Daiwa Exist LT FC 1000S

I am still liking the Exist a whole lot. It is till currently attached to my favorite UL rod the G. Loomis TSR801-2 GLX. Been putting the hurt on crappie and other panfish all summer throwing 1/16oz jigs with 2" plastic tails. The reel may have a new home though, either on the new St Croix Legend Pa...
