This is just to complet the thread with a picture of the new 100mm handle installed. I think that the handle lenght is fine but I do not think I would want this handle on smaller reels. I tired it on my sol and TD-Z it just felt wrong. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w228/summers_jeff/20140723_15...

just placed an order for 1 so I can see if I like the fit first before I order more.

Thanks guys I had seen them on tackle traps page so I guess I should palce an order for a few of them before the price goes up or they run out.

I have been searching around via google for some input on this handle I have a few zillions type r's that I think could benefit from the longer handle has anyone tired this handle on other diawa models or people who have the Steez 100EX with the stock 100mm handle do you think that it’s too long? It...

Well guess I just need to find a use for the 105hl or sale it, the zpi 002 spool in has got to be worth some coin.

I am looking at adding this rod to my combo list as my primary rod for fliping and pitching. My qustion is I have two reels that I can use on this rod either a TD z 105Hl or a Zillon type r, which is going to blance better. I have been using the my 105HL on my last flip/pitch rod the BCFR 863 and lo...

I picked up the River Runner UL 6'8 and paired it with a Fuego 1000 with one spool of 3lb and the other spool with 4lb. I use this rod for trout mainly so I have never hooked anything that big. But it loads very nice with a 1/16 oz in line spinner, the 1/4 oz is a little much for this rod.

Thanks I just bought an 852, I am planning to use my fuego on it.

You might want to check out the sale at TW they have Daiwa T3 for $198 thats a little more then 1/2 off right now

thanks for the quick comparison, I picked up an mbr783 for a simple all-purpose rod for a bank fishing walking combo for the short trips to the lake after work when I am not going with the boat. I was thinking which of these two reels I was going to use and with the T3 being 1/2 off right now I thin...

I think I might have said this wrong, I aggree that the 803 has more power then the 852 that is for sure, but I felt that 852 has more power then what I wanted from a 2 power spinning rod. I do have to admit that the new 901S has me thinking.

I tend to fish shaky head or wacky work, or just a weightless senko. With my old 852 glx, I felt that the rod had too much power for these application, I do not fish tubes that often but, I use my 803 for light t rigs with 3/16 weight. After fishing with my 852 and 803, I felt that the 852 had more ...

what about the 822S SYR how does it stack up against the 852, I am on the fence between these two.

I can't think that the blue vs green have diffrent actions. If so this is going to drive my OCD up the wall.

Okay Steve you had me thinking about the weight of the jigs that I use, I weighted about 1/2 of my stock and they were not a true 1/2oz they had a wide range. Therefore, by the time I add my trailer I am right at 5/8 to 3/4 of an oz. I have fished the BCR893 I found it better for 3/8 to 5/8 t rigs b...
