https://amzn.to/3PNMXlP - Daiwa GEKKABIJIN AIR AGS (MEBARU Model) 68L-T The tip is firm, so I can easily feel the touch of the horse mackerel. With the power of the butt, it can easily lift 40 class red snappers. And the belly does a great job!! Once you get the hang of it, the casting distance is incomparable to other 68 rods, it bends like a whip, and its easy to remove snag!! It may sound like a manufacturers slogan, but its the ultimate light game rod that doesnt fit into the framework of a mebaru rod!!! First of all, I was amazed at how light it was when I first held it. I had been using a discounted fishing rod from a fishing tackle store, so the difference was obvious. I am very satisfied with the lightness and ease of casting when actually fishing for mebaru. Although I live in an area with few horse mackerel, I was able to catch a lot of them during expeditions. Its a wonderful rod that can feel the touch even of such a small horse mackerel. The casting performance is amazing and the weight of the rod is only 57g, which is too light. I think its a rod that has its own value. Its amazing in one word. I had been using the Tikto 34 until now, but I cant go back anymore. Its lightweight, powerful, and has great sensitivity. However, the price varies greatly depending on the season. Click Link In Description For More Info or to Buy! As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Thank you for your support.

Even though I have caught several bass under 2 lbs so far, I am confident that this reel can handle much larger bass as well. Combined with my 70" MH St. Croix Mojo Bass rod and 15-lbs Powerpro v2 slick line, it is a winning combination. I find the Daiwa Tatula LT to be almost as comfortable as my 73" MH GLoomis MegaBass paired with a Stradic ci4 and 15lb PP with shakey head. In fact, I am leaning towards the Daiwa reel for its overall performance and versatility. As someone who fishes from a kayak, I appreciate a reel that makes tying on new rigs easy. With my battle-tested hands and age, this can sometimes be a challenge. However, the Daiwa Tatula LT makes it a semi-chore rather than a frustrating task. With my fishing style, I always carry a minimum of 5 rods so I can swap out techniques. The Daiwa Tatula LT is perfect for this purpose. I have two baitcasters for Carolina rigs and two spinning rods, and sometimes even a lightweight panfish rod or two. If I had to repurchase all my gear, I would choose the Daiwa Tatula LT over the Stradic reel due to the price differential. This reel offers great value for the price, and it is hard to beat in terms of performance. Overall, the Daiwa Tatula LT 6.2:1 Left/Right Hand Spinning Fishing Reel is an excellent choice for any angler. It is lightweight, smooth, and versatile.

Its ability to quickly service the drive mechanism ensures that it remains clean and well-lubricated, further enhancing its performance. One small drawback I encountered with this reel is the exploded view diagram. It is not the most helpful, so I would advise taking pictures of how everything fits together before attempting to disassemble anything. However, I must note that the service port, located under the black cover on the right side of the reel, is easily accessible and does not pose any issues.

https://amzn.to/3riKwNM - Abu Garcia Max Pro Spinning Reel, Size 60, Right/Left Handle Position, Graphite Body, Corrosion-Resistant, Machined Alumin... The Abu Garcia Max Pro Spinning Reel is an excellent choice for any angler. It may not be as smooth as expected straight out of the box, but a simple solution is to clean out the extra grease applied by the factory. Once this is done, the reel operates smoothly and efficiently. I was particularly excited to try out this reel because I typically use 500 size ultralight reels. I have tried numerous popular ones, and I was curious to see how the Abu Garcia Max Pro would compare. At first, the crank felt a bit stiff, but after two consecutive days of use, it loosened up and became much easier to handle. Occasionally, the reel may start making noise and give the impression that it needs to be lubricated. While it is a minor inconvenience, it is nothing that cannot be fixed. With a little bit of maintenance and lubrication, the reel can easily be brought back to its optimal performance. Even though I encountered this issue, I remain optimistic and will not give up on this reel. One thing to note is that the Abu Garcia Max Pro does not have a back reel switch. If this feature is essential to you, then this reel might not be the right choice. However, if it is not a requirement, the reel offers a variety of other great features that make it worth considering. In terms of pricing, I found that there are other reels available at the same price point that offer similar performance but with the added feature of anti-reverse function. Therefore, I give this reel one less star because of this comparison. I was able to purchase the Abu Garcia Max Pro Spinning Reel from Amazon Warehouse at a great price. The reel is built to be sturdy and durable, making it suitable for long-term use. However, I did find that it could benefit from being a little smoother, which can be easily achieved by lubricating the necessary parts. Initially, my friend was a bit skeptical when I gave him the Abu Garcia Max Pro reel. It was not the brand he originally wanted, but after using it on a fishing trip, he was pleasantly surprised. He found that the reel performed exceptionally well and was incredibly smooth in operation. After several hundred casts, I can confidently say that the casting on this reel is smooth and effortless. The returns are silky and provide a satisfying fishing experience. I paired it with a 6ft gx2 ugly stick, and the combination worked perfectly together. Overall, the Abu Garcia Max Pro Spinning Reel, Size 60, with its graphite body and corrosion-resistant properties, is a fantastic choice for any angler. While it may require a bit of extra maintenance and lubrication to achieve optimal performance, it offers great value for its price. Its durability, smooth casting, and compatibility with various fishing rods make it a top contender in the market. In conclusion, I highly recommend giving this reel a try.

https://amzn.to/44qGNMA - Abu Garcia Ambassadeur Line Counter Baitcast Reel very nice and well built reel but power handle was bent looks like factory defect but will keep reel and order a replacement handle One of the better line counters out there IMHO (6500LC) 1: there is no play in the reeling, very solid and smooth 2: solid construction. All pieces seem well machined and solidly build and assembled. No flex in the reel whatsoever 3: all buttons and levers have very confident action, solid 4: lightweight compared to some of the other round reels that ABU Garcia makes. only downside I see is if you want to cast with it. It does not freewheel well at all even with the cast control completely out, but thats not this reels prime objective so I wont subtract for that. I love the C3 Abu Garcia reels. I now have 10 of them and they have caught everything from kokanee to sturgeon. Great drags and easy to work on. Just remember the C3s are not the same as the S models. The C3s are made in Sweden and the S models are made in China. This is a great little linecounter that will make a great trout reel but spooled up with braid it would work great trolling for salmon too. Honestly if I were going to do that I would go with the 6500 though. I need a reel that allows repeatable line release and is not too heavy as I wish to hold it while trolling. This reel is small enough with an excellent drag. Keep in mind that this reel will holds over 200 yards of 10-20 lb superbraid which is more than enough line for any trolling on freshwater lakes. I have filled this reel with 20lb Suffix 832 and it holds over 300 yards! The line counter reset seems a bit sticky so I gave it four stars These reels are trouble free and work great. Excellent for trolling Its an Abu, whats not to love about it. Click Link In Description For More Info or to Buy! As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Thank you for your support.

I must say, it looks really good on my bike and adds a fresh and sleek look to it. One of the main reasons I chose this product is because it is a great replacement for older 3x7 shifters.

However, this SHIMANO lever proved to be a much better replacement and has been working flawlessly ever since. Another great aspect of this product is that it allows me to have a wider range of gears. With my old shifters, I was limited to only 8 speeds on the rear sprocket. But after installing these SHIMANO levers, I now have a 24-speed total, giving me more versatility and options while riding. One thing I appreciate about this product is that, even though it is not the same model as my old one, it still fits perfectly as a replacement.

It is a great replacement for older shifters and offers excellent quality. The installation process was relatively easy, and the compatibility with my bike was perfect.

https://amzn.to/44pU345 - PENN Wrath Spinning Fishing Reel I have used this reel for a few fishing trips now and I must say, for a budget reel, it does not disappoint. I was drawn to it because it is made by PENN, a brand I trust and love for their Saltwater gear. One of the things I love about this reel is how versatile it is. It works great for catching Walleye, as well as other species under 20 lbs. Its exactly what I was looking for and can handle the different types of fish I target. The overall quality of this reel is very good, except for one minor issue. The handle tends to come loose occasionally, which can be slightly frustrating. However, PENN has designed this version with a cap on the opposite end of the handle that you can tighten to keep the handle secure. Even though it does come loose, this feature helps in keeping it in place most of the time. I should note that I have other reels with the same set-up, and they tend to have the same issue with the handle coming loose. If this is a concern for you, I would suggest looking into the Penn Pursuit reel instead. The handle tightens as you wind it, and it never comes loose. It provides great value and performance. Comparing the Penn Wrath, Pursuit, and Fierce reels, I have found that the Pursuit offers the best value. It is the plastic version of the Fierce, but it performs just as well at a lower price point. The handle issue is not present in the Pursuit, making it a great option for those looking for a reel that wont come loose during use. I paired this reel with a Tsunami rod that came as a combo with a Tsunami reel. Since I wanted to use the Tsunami reel on a different rod, the Penn Wrath was a good replacement. It casts smoothly and operates without any issues. It also feels sturdy and well-made, giving me confidence in its durability. While the drag is adequate, I did notice that the action of the reel is slightly sticky. It doesnt affect the overall performance, but its not as smooth as some other brands I have tried. Nevertheless, considering the price point, it is well worth the investment. Lastly, I should mention that this reel was a gift to a friend of mine. They have been using it and have found it to be good for what it is. As the lowest-end Penn reel, it still holds up pretty well. While it may not have the HT-100 drag found in higher-end Penn reels, the drag is still smooth and delivers a reliable performance. Overall, the PENN Wrath Spinning Fishing Reel is a solid budget option that offers good performance for its price. While there may be some issues with the handle coming loose and the action being slightly sticky, it is still a reliable reel that can handle various fishing scenarios. If youre looking for a trustworthy brand and a reel that wont break the bank, this is a great choice. Click Link In Description For More Info or to Buy!

This chain fits perfectly and is designed for Shimano Road Bike drivelines, including 105, Ultegra, and Dura-Ace. If you have any of these components, this chain will integrate seamlessly. Even if you have non-Shimano components, you can still have a smooth and seamless shift with this chain.

Ultimately, this chain is incredibly reliable and efficient, making it an excellent choice for any cyclist looking for a high-quality chain that will keep them rolling for miles and miles.
