Re: New pixy

How about another Tatula. The new BF 70 is coming. That makes 12 Tatulas listed on Daiwa's web sight. This is based on the Alphas Air TW, not the tatula 70/80 frame. The new Tatula BF 70 is already available on Tackle Warehouse. It has a BFS spool. Gotcha. The overseas market already has the Salama...

Re: New pixy

Why 70? Let get it straight Daiwa, don’t get me wrong I like Daiwa, sold most Shimanos. Stop trying to be Shimano for just one second, please. They have had the 70 for 3 years now. The tatula 80 is standard. The tatula 70 is the sv version of the 80. Speaking of, I figure they may release the alpha...

I can't imagine trying to get a solid hook set from 100 yards away.

Re: New pixy

This is just a rebranded Alphas Air TW. :doh: [-( I really enjoy my alphas air tw, but no way would I pay that much for one. I guess Daiwa just got lazy. Do they really think the average US angler usnt aware of JDM offerings? Even Bassmaster magazine and Jay Kumar's Bass Blaster talks about JDM tack...

Re: Kistler back to US made blanks

I see Kistler has several rods now with US made blanks, I wonder if they are back using NFC blanks or have someone new? Does it say the blanks are made in the USA, or just that the rod is built here? If they are made here, it could be CUI, Lamiglas or Batson, aside from NFC and ShimLoomis. Kistler ...

Re: Anyone have any recent experiences with NFC?

No affiliation what so ever. Just my hard earned dollars spent with NFC that could go to anyone producing what NFC does. I’m sponsored by me 8-) Why would I need to be affiliated with NFC to call somebody for publically bashing a company for not going above and beyond their stated warranty practice...

Re: Anyone have any recent experiences with NFC?

Ok, clearly you aren’t used to how NFC rolls. Lol what a joke - nobody cares about your 89 perfectly received blanks, that's how things should go - we want to know what happens when things go wrong, and obviously NFC has a long and rich history of screwing their customers on that front. Lol, what a...

Re: Daiwa Steez A II TW gear swap

Correct. You only need the main gear and pinion gear, nothing else. The drag washers will swap from the old gear set to the new gear set.

Re: Are you using any Chinese manufactured reels?

The Piscifun Alloy M reel is a solid option. I wouldnt pay the $90 full price for it, but for the $66 shipped that I paid for it, its a good reel. It was never slick-smooth, but again, still a good reel for what I paid. I suspect that the lower ratio reels would be smoother. Mine is 8.4 ratio. Have...
