Welcome
I agree with Boone. You can find more ways to depart with hard earned money.

The St. Croix Legand Elite EC68MXF came in today. I am matching it with a new Daiwa TD-Z-100M (12 Lb. Yo-Zuri Hybrid Green). This setup is light. Review and coments to follow (I will be out on the water Friday).

DragonEEL,
I have the CRC-D70M Crucial. It is a great rod for the price. You won't be disapointed with eather rod you asked about.

D.R.

Avid, After reading your post, I went back and reviewed post wright up's about Shimano, Airrus, Gloomis, Kistler, St. Croix, and Quantum. I see no trend in TT being bias to Kistler or any other rod maker. From what I see they seem to be fair to all. I cannot say how a Kistler feels as I only fish wi...

You mite look into the Shimano inshore line of rods. The Calcutta Inshore CLS-X74M, 6-15 lb line and 1/4 to 5/8 weight. It has a split rear grip. Cabela's has this rod.

Where and how do you register a Td-Z100M reel. I broke down a bought two. I dont understand the wrighting on the card and I can't find the registration directory on the Daiwa web site.

D.R.

P.S. I hope I like the reels, as this is the first time I have went outside the Shimano family.

I sent you a PM. Just in case I caught 3- 2 to 4 LBs. and I dink (key chain).

D.R.

P.S. Read your PM

Hi Julia,
I agree with Cal on the new reel. I have one of the old red 5500s I use for cat fishing (no its not for sale, sorry). My heart and prairs go out to you over your loss. I know how it feels. My truck was broken into and gear was stolen once. (I nearly lost my religion over that.)

D.R.

I have Crucial and Avids both. I like the Crucial over the Avids. To me they are lighter and more responsive. (That can be debated forever)

D.R.

I will be leaving for Lake Nasworthy in about 30 min if anyone wishes to go. My wife is shopping and the back of the boat is empty.

D.R.

I took the plunge. They (2) will be here Monday. One for my Elite that will be here soon, the other for my 68xm Crusial. This will be the first Daiwa I have owened. I have never even held one. Reactions and coments to come.

D.R.

If the TD-Z100M is a good deal for $249.00, I mite just get one.

D.R.

I am not a Daiwa fan but Bass Pro Shop (internet) has the TD-Z100M for $249.00. Regular $349.00.

My wife returned the 50MG for me. After holding it and mounting it on a rod to test, it just did not feel the same as my other equipment. I desided to stick with my original plan and put a CH100B on my rod.

D.R.

I have an add on to this post.


My wife just walked in from shopping and handed me a 50MG to put on the new Elite when it comes in. I love being mairried to a wife who knows and likes to fish.
