I would just try to exchange it for a Daiwa or Shimano product but that's just me.

For those have fished the new lavante is it worth the extra $100 to step up to the orochi?

Thanks for the input guys!

So I will be getting a new spinning rod in the near future and was wondering if anyone has fished the newer version of the Levante Shakeyhead rod and the Zolo Maestro. If so what are your thoughts on...

I love mine. Its currently with Bryan at Tackle Trap getting a line roller bearing replaced but its been a good reel.

Another vote for Tackle Trap

Send them to Reelex

I can not recommend Tackle Trap enough. I had an issue with my Luvias I sent to them and Spanky had personally taken the reel out to a pond to verify the issue has been resolved and when it wasn't he...

I have fished both lines but different models and imo before I got another Legend tournament I would like just get an Avid. The difference from the Avid to the Tournament was not a huge step but the...

Will the Shakeyhead rod still be a slightly more moderate action like the older line was?

Yea they used to be a full custom shop but they are no longer doing that however they kept the name, but I still think they offer a good rod for the money. My Delta was $220 for a made in the USA...

I own a Trigger and a Delta. They are two of the finest rods I have ever used at the price points they sell at. The are slightly on the slower side of fast but very sensitive.

Worm drive, with an aluminum frame AND side plate, and a quality gear set?

I picked up a Luvias earlier this year as a rep demo and loved it. However it started to feel like it would tick as I reeled it if there was any kind of resistance on the end (I fish a lot of paddle...

My 2500 BG is the best $100 I have ever spent on a fishing reel.

1/8 oz ball head and a 4 inch Yamamoto grub. Rod loaded up well and would really launch that grub.

With the slight delay in action I would think it would do really well on the small swim baits and ned rigs. Honestly I am not a huge fan of a drop shot and rarely ever throw it so if I do I just use...

I was using it for swimming a grub which is mainly what he uses it for as well.

I fished a friends 7'6" ml and I really liked the more moderate action that it had. It was a very comfortable rod to fish, sensitivity was on par with its price, but just like all other 13 products I...

The line I like the most for casting into the wind is Fins Windtamer. It's a 4 strand with a hard outer coating. I got tired of casting reels being destroyed by the salt so I pretty much only use...

I haven't ever battled a 50 lb fish but I can tell you 10 lb 832 will hold up to 30 lb redfish.

I use 832 a lot and the difference between 10 and 20 lb is fairly large. I only use 10 lb in freshwater and have never felt the need for heavier line on my spinners. The break strength for that line...

The drag on my Daiwa Luvias is as good as I could ever ask for.

When Brain at Tackle Trap had it in for a cleaning recently he told me it wasn't even worth upgrading so that says something.

This 100%!!!

I have owned a ton of spinners at all price points and even for its MSRP nothing comes close to these until you get into truly high end ones.

How does that Daiwa compare to the Conquest? I was really impressed with the AGS Tatula Elite I messed around with at your shop.
