Re: Alphas CT SV 70 - Finesse Cranking
One thing I forgot to mention is that all my recent Daiwa reels had the spool bearings caked with grease. I flushed them in an ultrasonic cleaner with electronic contact cleaner, then relubed with red Daiwa oil and it was a significant improvement. The Alphas actually seemed to get better distance ...

Tatula LT spinning reel question
I have a quick question. Is the TALT3000-CXH frame the same as the TALT3000D-CXH? Is the difference the spool?

Re: Line recommendation for topwater/jerkbait combo
On my ML casting rod I am running 20# Smackdown to a 6# Hybrid or 8/10# fluoro leader depending on technique. In cooler water when I am not using any smaller topwaters (sub-1/2oz), I use 8lb R18 as a mainline for jerkbaits and finesse cranking.

Re: Alphas CT SV 70 - Finesse Cranking
Yeah I have mine paired to the poison adrena 67BFS - the most perfect setup for throwing ixi/z1/z2/weighted #4 shad raps on 8lb fluoro - I bought the rod/reel for small jerkbaits but it cranks so well. My only concern is the tiny gears wearing out and I can't find replacements since it's a disconti...

Re: Daiwa J-Fluoro Samurai Fluorocarbon
I have the 10lb on my finesse cranking setup and throw everything from a Raid Level Shad to a Level Crank, Kabuki 55SR or Bling 55. It's great for my use and I have found no issue with it.

Re: Alphas CT SV 70 - Finesse Cranking
Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think your 7 speed CT is just fine if you don't mind reeling slow. Yeah I would like a backup though - would you recommend another CT SV 70? I have 2 CT SV 70s and they are my absolute favorite reels I've used. I have one 6.3 spooled with 10lb J Flu...

Metanium MG DC7 question
Is the spool interchangeable between the MG and the MG DC? I know the i-DC4 unit is removable by itself, so I didn't know.

Re: Non-Spinning Shad Rap #5/7 setup
Honestly, a #7 can be cast on any M power cranking rod. A #5, I like to toss on my Legend X 6'8" MF and Aldebaran MG.
Re: SLX XT
I have 2, an XG and an HG. I really like them for what they are. One is on my frog rod and it does the job great. The next is for my general purpose MH rod, chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, Ploppers, etc. It's really a nice reel for the price.

50E-Aldebaran
I know the 50E and the 09 Aldebaran share body style and gears, but are the spools interchangeable? Thanks!

Re: Spare spool
Awesome, thank you for the ideas. I just have to see if we have a pill bottle in a size that will work. Thanks a bunch guys.

Spare spool
Do you all carry a spare spool for any of your reels? I have an Aldebaran MG I am running 10lb CX on, but for finessey techniques, I want to carry 10lb Invizx as well. How do you all carry your spools?

Re: Shimano 50 size, gear question
Chronarch 50e, curado 50e, scorpion 1000xt, core 50, Aldebaran mg and mg7, brenious are all the traditional 50e platform and the gears will interchange. I know the 6.4 brass gear set has been modified to work in the 2012 aldebaran bfs reel so the stock 8:1 set may also work in the 50. KTF made (may...
