Re: Suffix 832 issues

Had the same knot slippage problem with 832 this year, went to palomar and have not had any problems.

Re: Daiwa TD Sol Reel handle ?

I have that reel in for cleaning now and they said they might have a handle. If they do not I will get back with you . Thanks

Re: Foregrip or no foregrip?

I prefer small foregrip especially on longer rods , helps if I want to grab the rod in front of the reel.

Lews Team LIte Reel opinion

Looking for feedback on the Lews Team Light reel. Would be using it for casting light t-rigs or small crankbaits. How has the durability been ? Thanks

Daiwa TD Sol Reel handle ?

I need a reel handle with knobs for a TD Sol bait caster. Daiwa doesn't have one because it has been discontinued. Does anyone know of a different Daiwa model that has a handle that would work on the Sol ? Thanks

Re: GLX 894 vs 895

I have not fished with the 895 , only held it to see how it felt. It is a very stout rod and will not handle 1/4 oz baits in my opinion. Maybe something like 1/2 oz on up.

Re: Conquest vs NRX

Other than sensitivity how does a Conquest 904c compare to a NRX 894jwr especially power wise. Looking for a rod to pitch and short cast soft plastics to trees and brush (1/4 to 3/8 weight + the plastic).

Dobyns DX705c vs Loomis BCR 855 GLX

Looking at one of these as a pitching /casting t-rig rod around heavy cover with 20# fluoro and 1/4 to 3/8 oz weights plus the weight of the bait. I have a BCR 875 GLX which is pretty stout but zero experience with Dobyns. Any input appreciated.
