Re: 2024 SLX with MGL 3 spool.
Fwiw, the slx I had was the xg model. I've had more issues with high-gear reels of all brands than lower ratio models.

Re: All new steez sv tw
Does anyone know what the spool side plate is made of? I think the US ct sv was all magnesium (frame, both side plates), but the JDM was zaion (mg frame+gear side). A TW II is zaion as well I think. Last Steez to have mg palm plate was the EX version. Palm plates on US and Japan versions are both i...

Re: 2024 SLX with MGL 3 spool.
The reason I mentioned my Tatulas is that the SLX I had went geary before the end of last summer. I just ran a lipless bait(and a squarebill) with it, so no logical reason for that to have happened. I bought it for $65 and sold it for $50, so I wasn't really out anything, but I'm still puzzled as to...

Re: 2024 SLX with MGL 3 spool.
The new slx mgl better be as fun to use as the slx dc xt or it has tough competition against a small packaged reel like the tatula 70/80. Those reels are quite impressive for what they are. And the Tat 80 can be had for $110 from aliexpress, while the Tat 70 SV is about $165 there. Which do I prefe...

Re: What is this
I like those. I used to have jointed red zone rat-l-traps similar to those, but not exactly the same. Long since discontinued, though.

Re: WHY are there no short enthusiast pitching sticks?!?!
Its not enthusiast-level, but the FXtreme XAS 610H is a fantastic frog rod. It is light and very well-balanced. Another plus is the shorter than average rear grip makes walking a frog tip-down a breeze. I've used it for 3 seasons now just like you describe, and it doubles as a jig rod for me when I ...

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 ...

The standard Zillion is available in 5.5(JDM only), 6.3, 7.1 and 8.1. The HD is a Mag-Z boost spool and is a little deeper. The standard Zillion spool is SV bo...

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...
