Re: Daiwa Tatula 200 or Type HD (beater saltwater reel)

If you really want to be cheap the Johncoo Ares would be a good beater 200+ capacity reel for salt. You'll need to grease and oil as they come dry and crunchy/geary out of the box. I have 2. $48 aluminum frame and double aluminum side place double pinion suppored 9.9 oz 200/300 size reel. It's big ...

Re: DRT rods, tho

Long sweep and long pause to let it drift down, fast jerk, jerk, pause like a jerkbait, slow, steady retrieve with tip up and tip down, slow steady sweeps to give it a wide S pattern. You name it, I tried it. Nada. The only 2 ways I fish my TK is dead walking with the short lip + V tail, and deep w...

not so much as a sniff from a ffish.
Curious, how are you fishing the TK?

Re: DRT rods, tho

The same could be said for their swimbaits. I had a couple variations and never caught a single fish on either of them. On the upside, I was able to sell them for a profit. Their products are legit not hype, dedicate a whole season/year to fishing the TK and learn to fish it. Bruh... On another not...

Another option is Phenix X12, which is what I use. I also use NFC Fast Glass APFG742. Harry
Phenix discontinued the X12 spinning rods. You can order the blank and build it yourself, though.

Re: Daiwa Saltist TW PE Special

I absolutely love my Tatula 80s. The same reel, but with a deeper spool/higher line capacity is very appealing to me for heavier/thicker copolymer lines like CXX. So the Saltist is the exact opposite of what you want :( Less line capacity and PE tuned braking sounds great to me, if it just wasn‘t b...

Cool story, dude! I don't think nutria range that far North. Iirc, southern Oklahoma and Mississippi are about their northern native range.

Re: Anyone have any recent experiences with NFC?

I think most people here wrote them off back in '21, after all the negative experiences back then. They make a great product, but can't seem to actually MAKE the product.

Re: Was Braided Line a Game Changer for You?

I use white braid a lot. I just color the last 5-6' of the line with a black sharpie and it hasnt affected my catch rate with bottom contact baits. Interesting. I'll try that. Thanks. I kinda like the white braid, because it is definitely easier to see. But, I just didn't get as many bites with slo...
