I own other Daiwa reels but not a TDZ 105H. If I did, like Chaos, I would provide my opinion/experience so as to help the guy out. Isn't this one of the main purposes of this forum?

Don't know what kind of water you fish: murky, clear, cold, warm, etc. but you have been given some good advice. Another option you may consider that I've had success on (and tied to Mattman's comments re: the bulrushes) is that I've caught a couple this past couple of weeks using a Booyah 1/2 swimm...

They do look nice and ill admit it, I love Daiwa. They have listened to me and my reel suggestions/feedback better then any other reel company out there that ive dealt with (which isnt many just the main 2 and two others). Not only do hear you but they actually listen as is evident in the Steez, et...

That settles it. I definitely won't get a Steez. Who wants what everyone else has?

Mattman wrote: Get yourself a drift sock or two. Those will drastically slow down your drift. You can run your electric as well to help keep the bow pointed in a single direction but the drift socks tend to keep the boat pretty stable.

Conquest 50- too big

My Conquest 51 is every bit as comfortable to palm as my Pixuki.

Mhood wrote And with credit cards, I like to hit them while they're hot I get so excited about hitting those credit cards that I even try out fake PayPal sites. Now that's a hot card. :lol: As to pitching reels, I agree with Mhood. IMO you can't do much better than a Pixilla, Pixuki, or Conquest 50/...

Perhaps some members took your comments literally. You know the the Carrot rod, now.....

Not my finest moment, that's for sure. I had a good talk with a Security Representative from Trans-Union, a big Credit rating service that my bank told me to contact (among others). The only smart thing I did was not have my bank account connected in any way at all to PayPal. Anyway the rep said she...

Well, it was a fraudulent website, a very good one. It was late, I was tired, I didn't read the fine print. Gave them my social security number, my credit card info, etc. Called my bank, cancelled the card, getting a new one. Sent the REAL PayPal the URL for the fraudulent website. The bank is telli...

I shut down my email and logged onto the PayPal website. On signing in PayPal redirected me to re-verify my account (as in the original email). Makes you want to go back to using ordinary mail and sending paper checks.

Paypal sent me an email asking me to reverify my account. Apparently someone off-shore has been trying to access my account. This ever happen to anyone else?

I've noticed a big increase in hot, sunny, and windy conditions with the wind lasting well into the evening. As of August 1 this year, I changed marinas and now fish in what is basically a low level 20,000 acre shallow, weedy, water bowl where the wind has a very wide sweep. Finesse doesn't work too...

Yeah, they are great game fish. But Cali ain't too shabby either. Come this January or February or March, we'll do this post again.

When i buy from them they use an American CC clearing house and EMS and it costs me nothing, shipping is reasonable and I have my stuff, from Japan, in 4-5 days with never an issue. Me thinks doing business in Japan is efficient, very efficient. Snidley Yep. I don't shop online anywhere else. Less ...
