Got myself a new combo

Post by TeamDaiwaRick » Tue Mar 26, 2013 3:45 pm

After selling a whole bunch of stuff in the last few months. I treated myself to a new combo. The reel isn't new, I bought it a while back but couldn't find the right rod to pair it with until now. Rod is brand new, purchased from the tackle trap. (Thanks Gary @ tackletrap). I can't wait to use this new combo!!! Well enough talking, enjoy the pictures :D

I've always liked the Cover Hacking. I know where there is a new one and I'm very tempted. Nice outfit.

She’s just beautiful, great combo. Is the Nautilus a one or two piece rod, I thought almost all rods 7’ or over where two piece but it also looks like the blank is exposed through the handle. My LIN10 is expected and I need to seriously consider another stick and the Nautilus is 1st on my list.

I looked up this reel and couldn't find a whole lot of information on it but every picture I saw it in, the reel had compressed megabass cork knobs as seen on the new MB T3 that is coming out. I like these knobs that are on it and personally havn't seen them before either :lol:

I guess this reel is a Megabass version of TDZ-105HL right? Nice combo and perfectly matched. Congrat. :D

No, the reel came with clear coated cork knobs

Thanks! The Nautilus is a one piece rod. I would think the Lin10 and the Nautilus make an awesome combo :big grin:

Reel was in production during 2009. It's basically a Megabass version of TD-Z 105HL but with a tuned rotor spool.

Here is the spec:
