Best Daiwa for Jerk Baits

Just what the title says....anything and everything related to Rods, Reels, Terminal Tackle, Plastics, what others are using, what works, what doesn't work, and anything else you want to talk about regarding equipment.

Here is a caption from another forum that got me thinking that the T3 is probably not for me.

"One more thing to note is that I love the way this reel palms. It's extremely comfortable to hold. I really like the little rubber grips, nice touch. If I had one bad thing to comment on, it's that stinkin' levelwind cap. I like to wrap my index finger around the front of the reel and that just doesn't work. I tried it, but kept feeling that cap coming across hitting my finger, and even pinched my finger in there once. Had to adjust my index finger up on the blank, which isn't a bad thing; just not as comfortable for me."

I also palm my reels with the index finger wrapped around the front of the reel and that level-wind cap coming across and hitting my finger is a showstopper for me.

I am sure that having a fishing partner and son who just bought three of these had something to do with it...

At least he was able to hold it and figure out if he could deal with it.

Provided you are still talking about the T3 MX, yes I still want to check it out... If you mean anything else, you can keep the behind the dumpster talk for Kerrazy.
