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

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...

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 ...

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

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 ...

the tatula elite mmh may be a good option. i've been using it with a steez ct/10# fc for anything around 3/16-1/4oz

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.

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...

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...

Have mine paired on a JDM Steez Harrier Finesse is that the 7'1 mml? i'm interested in this rod That’s the one if you are looking for a high end compile X blank. These guys will have some excellent condition slightly used ones from time to time in the sub $400 range. That is how I got mine. I could...

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...

any thoughts? i'm wanting to put together a casting rod for 1/8oz jigheads with a 2" baby shad.

i am also wondering if a spiral wrap would perform better?

thanks

it seems to me like it wouldn't really cost daiwa much more to take the steez mml and just use that blank
