I have a GLX 895 flipping rod and wanted to know if I could use a Daiwa T3 reel for flipping or should I go with the Shimano Chronarch 150 CI4. Which reel would make a better flipping reel or can you guys recommend a reel to pair with that rod.

Black Dog shell cracker G2 and castaic baits are both under 2oz. The work great also.

Congrats on the trade. I have a sol and love it. I'll looking at making some upgrades to mine. What rod do you have it on?

I use the new GLX 895 flipping rod. Haven't had any problems pulling any fish out of the pads down here in Florida.

Haven't used this rod but if you are looking for a good saltwater inshore rod I would suggest a g-loomis bronzeback 7'7" spinning rod. I have been using it for about 6 years and love it. I got it when another saltwater guy told me about it. I've caught 40" snook with this rod and had no problem. But...

flipping rod and umbrella rig rod

WOW! Sweet looking reel.

Also I will pair it with a daiwa zillion if that helps.

Broke my custom glx 844 today and now I need a new rod to replace it. I was looking at one of the new glx rods. I will need it for fishing with frogs, jigs, small swimbaits, and t-rigs. So which one would be a good replacement for what I need.

Great looking set ups. I forget other people can't fish this time of year. Living in Florida there is no problem fishing all year long.

I'm weekend angler but I bought my first high dollar reel back in 2000 and it was a calcutta reel and a st. croix rod. Then a gloomis spinning rod with a stradic.
