Have you taken the spool out and cleaned the shaft? I've had similar issues as you with a few reels and that was always the issue. Including my Curado DC. Sometimes the shaft/where you insert it gets gunked up from water seeping in over time

Nice! I love using small baits like that

Probably a fat swing impact from Keitech. I have more confidence in that lure than anything

You're killing me with these lol. So sick

So good. Definitely a fan of the harness system. Makes you wonder if CZ brought it up to Megabass but got the cold shoulder for that change

So sick. That's #1 on my list in the local harbors

So sick. I actually bought some dash shads for out there this year but ended up not being able to make it.

I have the 7'11 MH. I haven't thrown the battleshad with it but I've had no issues using it with Yunique anchovies. The tip is a bit softer than extra fast but it's definitely stout enough to set a beast hook. It's a pretty awesome rod. It may be rated 2-6 but I've been lazy and thrown 3/4oz warbaits neck breakers with it just fine for calico lol My only gripe is the handle/butt section. I'm going to cover mine in cork tape or shrink wrap because when they get wet they're a little annoying to hold onto

Seconding that. Their micro pompadour is also my favorite BFS topwater lure

So sick. I've only ever caught them in the harbor but they were never that big

That's so awesome. Can't wait to get mine snagged on a mooring

ROF 12 Hudd?

Well that lazerspex color way finally convinced me to get one lol

Daiwa Coastal TW 200 is legit. I've abused the hell out of mine for two years in salt water and it's still going strong. Super easy to break down and clean too
