BIOHAZARD, oh yeah, deadly for bass.

Has anyone ever thought about when and why we decided to invest in tackle rather than just getting rods and reels that did the job? I remember when i first started fishing 3 years ago, my appetite for spending money on fishing was pretty low. I spent 20 bucks on a combo at walmart and three fishing...

Built like tanks ( they also weight as much as a tank ) but I´m not a weight weenie , my old XLT Plus series Abus are quite heavy and so is my Citica D.

Holy shmokes, too danged funny !!!!! ( how come we don't have a THUMBS UP smily ? )

I was so amazed that I didn´t notice something, both combos would be perfect if the handles of them reels weren´t in the wrong side.

Well, let´s look at it this way, hookers, drinks and cuban cigars are more expensive, much worse for your health and a lot more ephimeral so I see nothing wrong about blowing a few grand in tackle.

Not the exact image but similar to this one, for that reel you need the small size ( not the BC size ).

Shimano makes round BC reel covers, not as pretty as Daiwa´s but still quite good.

JUST KIDDIN ´ !!!!! =)))) I got in the BC department: 2 TDZ 105H 2 TDZ 103H 1 Alphas Type F 1 Alphas R Edition 1 Alphas Itö ( technically not a Daiwa but a Megabass ) 1 Zonda 68 ( tecnically not a Daiwa but a Megabass ) 1 PT33SH ( oh yeah, a blast from the past ) 2 Procaster PR100H 3 Airy Red Pixy ...

Super kool !

Thanks for posting up these pictures. Much appreciated. I definitely see what you mean about the sizing now. Now my only decision is 2000 or 2500?? Those Cabelas reels look really nice. What may sway the balance is the line capacity for certain lines, 2000 size reels are for lighter line ( 6-8 lb),...

It must be quite a workout or extremely difficult to wrap a small towel ( and I´m being fancy here, your shirt sleeve is enough ) around your hand to protect it, wrap a couple of turns of line and pulling hard ( putting some testicles ) until the line breaks, hell, 12 lb FC isn´t exactly rope thick....

I have, not bad, a little bit fast when I begin cranking as usual but not too terrible.

A low gear ratio reel is a tool, not something that you absolutely need to have, but if you are going to spend the day cranking, why not use the right tool for the job. A great tool for the other things that you mentioned as well. My response was more of how much really deep cranking do you do? If ...
