Re: Daiwa Tatula R 100XSL initial impression
One other thing I thought was important about the 321 OleTC The 321 is very thick making it difficult to work inside the bearings with shields. First set I did with shields on rusted on the inside of the bearings badly. Outside had no rust at all. I've removed all shields since then and have had no ...

Re: Daiwa Tatula R 100XSL initial impression
TSI is a like a dry-lube. It leaves a very thin (5 micron or so) film when the liquid it is suspended in dries. Very slick stuff that attaches to the metal and locks out corrosion. I learned a lot reading about it on Alan Tani's site. Check it out if you get a chance. They tested against Yamaha mari...

Re: Daiwa Tatula R 100XSL initial impression
Thanks for the response. You're right about the levelwind use, works great. Dip the pawl and I've even done a driveshaft that the inner tube rusted on to keep it from rusting. Been using it for around 8 months now with great results. You are going to love the stuff. Been testing one set of bearings ...

Re: Daiwa Tatula R 100XSL initial impression
A follow up now. Have been out on around 10 trips with this reel. There are some issues that I would like to share. a) The anti-reverse (AR) function started failing, causing the handle to turn backwards. I have opened the reel and discovered noticeable rust on the cylinder in the AR rollerbearing ...

New Boat Cover Opinions
I'm looking for some good options for 2 boat covers. I have a Tracker Pro 17 I use as a river boat locally that desperately needs a new cover. It doesn't need to be a travel cover as I don't take this boat far so it comes off at home before I leave. Also have a Triton Tr 21pd that's cover is startin...

Re: tungsten and t-rigs
For fishing rivers I am always rigged up with 1/4oz. On lakes it can be from 1/32-3/8oz and 1,1.25,1.5 and 2oz for punching.These are the ones I find most useful.

Re: Looking for a workhorse
My bet is that the new Ci4 Shimano reels will be fine and plenty durable, light, reliable and perform very well. The only CI4 reel I have used is the shimano chronarch CI4 , and I've looked at a few others at cabelas. The Chronarch is a great performing reel but the new CI4 material does not feel a...

Re: Looking for a workhorse
Well unfortunately I can say the Ci4+ is very durable as I slipped on a wet rock one day fishing on some riprap and came down on my reel :doh: Broke my rod and thought the reel was smashed for sure after coming right down on a rock hard but the only damage is a small scratch in the paint, even got t...

Re: Weight reduction 101d7
It was pointed out to me that with a lot of strain on the reel when froggin could turn into problems regarding frame flex. Guess it depends how heavy the cover is that you are fishing.

Re: What's your favorite NRX and why ?
NRX 842 Mbr. Can't wait to get the 843. Throw jerkbaits,flukes and light t-rigs a lot on local waters and the 842 does it all very well. Soooo light and sensitive it's amazing the power I get out of this rod. The 873 would be next choice.

Re: Weight reduction 101d7
Yeah that wont work then with the gears. Depends which brand handle, the Semper Fi appear to be the lightest but I dont own one. fishingandfords may know, he owns many. I have a few hedgehog carbon handles and haven't ever weighed them, its more an appearance thing, not really enough weigh loss alon...
