Re: Tatula Elite rods
how does the tak rod compare with the old tds version? i was always amazed at the range those rods could handle, but i wasnt crazy about the balance of them. for cranks it was fine, but for 1/2oz spinnerbaits it seemed like my wrist always hurt by end of the day

Re: Flourocarbon on Spinning reel
What flourocarbon do you guys run in your spinning reels? I’ve never like braid and want to run straight flouro, I have Daiwa luvias airity and spooled up 8lb tatsu and got terrible memory knots even after applying line conditioner the night before and the morning of fishing. I pulled off the knott...

Re: Glass crankbait stick for spinnerbaits and chatterbaits?
i like slower action rods for spinnerbaits. back in the old bfhp days, there was a custom builder that praised the seeker s glass blank for any & all moving baits. i can't remember what his name is, but i believe he helped design that blank. back to the story, at that time i had always used mh fast ...

how does the 7'2 mhr tatula elite compare to the old steez flexlite?
i'm thinking about picking up a 7'2 mhr tatula elite for spinnerbaits. i have the original steez flexlite version and was wondering how the 2 compare? is the action similar? is the balance the same or (hopefully) better?
thanks
thanks

Re: Anyone fish the Daiwa Steez 7'4" xh?
i've got the steez xt version of that rod, and i've never fished a frog with it :D i've used the rod for jigs, big worms, buzzbaits, plopper-types, and can't remember what else. i got the rod along with a 7'1 h steez xt a few years for about a half price deal on both. the rod is sensitive enough to ...

Re: Where can I find the old (blue) Sttez AGS rods?
i really hope they move the air beam seat over to a different line of rods. i've got 1 of the rebellion rods, and also 1 of the blazon bfs rods. i don't mind the newer seats on the blazon, but on the rebellion it kills my fingers.

Re: Reel Seat question
after posting the last, i got to thinking more about this. i went to the building i store my boat in, and looked at a daiwa blazon i got a couple of months ago. it' a 6'4 light power bfs rod. it looks like there's a female insert in the handle, and i'm not sure what is in the end of the blank. it ju...

Re: Reel Seat question
i was just wondering yesterday about the 2 pc jdm rods that have the joint at the butt. i was wondering if it would be possible to take 1 of those and make up different blanks for different applications. not sure if the ferrules are different diameters based on the blank or 1 size that fits in the h...

Re: any experience with liberty dropshot blanks?
i had thought originally about trying the point blank 701lxf, but then i realized that i don't need that quality of a blank for what i'm gonna use the rod for. i'm not even using fluorocarbon, just 4#-6# hi-vis mono. i've been using a bps carbonlite ml, and it works, but it can be a bit sloppy feeli...

Re: Anyone has the Abu Garcia Fantasista Med light
it seems to me like it wouldn't really cost daiwa much more to take the steez mml and just use that blank
