I have seen very good performance from the Okuma Ceymar series. I have 4 now. My latest was C3 on a walleye jig rod. I worked it out on Red over opener.
Joe I absolutely love my Daiwa reels but have had 2 Fuego’s with nothing but issues I replaced them with Daiwa Excelers awesome reels just my 2 cents.
I just had a one year old Fuego that was back reeling while fighting fish even though lever was not engaged. I carefully took it all apart, and found it wasn’t assembled correctly. Works like a champ now
Rodwork, i noticed you build rods–what action ,power, and length are you using for your bobber rods? What rod blank ditributor? I also build and have been using Mudhole. I’ve been using a moderate fast action , light power in 7’0. seem to work well. kinda new at this so looking for any advice. Thanks
