Sorry, yes, I meant the FL904, just fat fingered it and didn't realize it.

Thanks!

Thanks for all the input! After doing some reading and research, I think I'm going to go with the Hydra Ng FL3. I talked with Alex at ALX, and it's almost the same blank they use for the Toadface. ...

I'm considering building a new frog rod built. What blanks would you all recommend? I like NFC blanks, but would also consider Point Blank and St Croix.

Thanks,

Dave

It varies with every person. Some have no problem spending $700-1000, while others won't or can't spend more than $50.

I have spent up to $400, but prefer to stay in the $200 dollar range. And I...

I bought a used beater 2004 Skeeter SX190 back in 2016. Since I only fish TM waters, the motor hasn't been started in years. There is probably 10-15 gallons of gas in the tank left over from when I...

I've got a 798C SI on my jon boat. Looking to upgrade a bit. I think I've read that I can use the 798 transducer mounted on my trolling motor for either the 1198 or the Helix 7. Is that true? I...

Thanks, Bronzefly, I will take that into consideration. But to be honest, I was hoping to find something a bit cheaper. But if I don't, I'll probably get one of these.

Doesn't have to be a Daiwa handle, or have knobs. But if it does have knobs, they need to be changeable.
Ray's, Gomexus, other similar would be fine, just don't want really cheap Chinese knockoffs....

Thanks all, for the info! I like what I'm hearing. Gonna have to give this one some serious thought.

Reels - Daiwa TD-Z 103ML, Daiwa SV 103XSL

Rods - G Loomis MBR842C GLX, St Croix Legend Xtreme 7' MF with recoil guides

I'm not a builder, but I'm considering having a custom rod built. I've got a rod built on the MB 736 X-ray blank. I know it's a medium heavy blank and the SJ 736 is a heavy. How much heavier is the...

Never bought one online like that. But one time in North Carolina, I found a store that buys closeout fishing gear like that. It was kind of like an Ollie's, if you are familiar with them, but only...

I have an ALX Enox Decoy and a Kistler X-Bone with the NFC blank. In my opinion, the Kistler is lighter and more sensitive. That said, I haven't fished one of the new Z-bones with the different...

Thanks for the tips on cleaning this mess up. It was my own fault. I bought this boat used several years ago. I have replaced the TM batteries a couple times now. But since I ONLY fish TM only...

Finally uncovered my boat this past week, and found out my starting battery had literally broken. The maintenance caps came off, and the top was separating from the case. There is battery acid in...

I realize these parts are hard to come by. Looking for a purple drag star and cast control cap for my left handed Daiwa SV103.

Please contact me if you have one or both and are willing to let...

Zillion sold.

Sustain price reduced to $115 TYD.

I have an OG TD Zillion 100HLA, left handed, 6.3:1 to sell. mechanically I would call it 9/10 because it could probably use a cleaning. Cosmetically, probably 8.5/10 because it has some boat rash. ...

Looking to buy the purple bumpers, drag star, screws, and other dress up parts for my Daiwa left-handed SV 103HL. If you have some you are willing to come off of, or know where I can find them,...

Yep, not the clicking drag.

UPDATE - It was NOT the clicking drag. Still not sure what it was, but after hearing it again fighting a fish yesterday, it almost sounded a bit like how braid can kind of sing through recoil...

I fished my brand new Zillion G for the first time today. When I was fighting a fish, the drag literally made an awful screeching noise. I'm presuming this is not typical, considering I've read...

Reading this and other forums, I get the feeling the green NRX rods are considered better than the blue. Why? I only have a blue MBR843C, never had a green NRX.

Thanks,

Dave
