Monkey's on a Roll

BigBassin144 · 02-11-11, 11:12 PM

I knew as soon as Bryce posted his fly rod thread that the monkey would soon be after me as well. Then after a few more Monkey threads, the monkey forced to go to BPS.

Daiwa, of course!

Made in Japan, good quality.

So the monkey wins again...

Scared me, I just knew you got a fly rod. Congrats on the new reel.

haha, luckily, no $400,000 fly rods for me.

I've tried fly fishing and can't do it, lol. I'll stick to spinning and casting gear.

Sweet reel, great pictures!

What a joke....the thing is probably so light you can't even bludgeon someone to death with it.

Whew, for a moment I thought Bryce might have enticed you over to the

PINK side.............

Sharp little reel, that's a small frame going to use it for drop shotting?

I'm headed to the Eastern Sportsman's Show in Harrisburg in a few minutes. Monkey has bitten me pretty hard lately, I need him to back off a little today. A lot of new boats at the show and I don't want to end up in INTENSIVE CARE........

Nice reel Anthony. I love Daiwa's spinning reels!

Actually, it comes in at 235 grams!

wait... I have no clue what 235 grams is... ... ... Google says it's ~8.3oz. Doesn't feel that heavy.

It was a touch decision between this and the 5.6oz Pflueger Patriarch 9525.

Yep, it's going to be my dropshot reel. Can't decide between 6lb FC or 10lb Braid...

I've really been liking the Daiwa spinning reels lately too. I wish they had something a little lighter though, without spending $280 for the Fuego... or $500 for the Steez, lol.

You got minkeyfied in a good good way pal. I'd go with 10 pound braid. It would be so thin I wouldn't see it.

Bassboss · 02-21-11, 03:09 PM

NICE!!!! Isn't that like a 400, 500 dollar reel?

What rod is that going on? The shimano?

DON'T review it, I DON'T want to want buy.

It'll go on the Crucial if I can't scrounge up enough to buy a DX702SF.

Don't you worry about wanting to buy it. They'll be long gone from BPS by the time I write a review of this reel.
