    I love how the Tatula and even the cheaper Daiwa AirD x have that same braiding technology in the blank. I own multiple in casting and spinning and even my MedLT 7’0 Tatula XT-$100… has more strength and sensitivity than some more expensive Abu Garcia and St croixs that I own. The Tatula XT needs to be talked about- with a Daiwa Regal 2500D-XH B (the new one) (also the original is phenomenal) under $200 COMBO and my favorite rod by FAR

      The casino has a more parabolic bend than the Balck Jack. I actually use the Casino for big treble hook baits like the Megabass Big M7.5 and so on. Plus it’s a little shorter than the Black Jack. The Black Jacks rating is way off! It easily handles glide baits up to 7oz no problem!! There similar but the blackjack has more of fast action but it does bend well into the blank also not a broom stick by any means!

    With BFS growing so much I wish we could get a rod series like the “Zero Gravity” rods from Mitchell. I know even on the spinning versions you could throw anything from1/64 oz to 1/2 baits in the same rod due to the super thing tip that would load. I also with we had these for the ability to see super light bites because that SUL tip would load as easily as a human hair.

    BFS vs Ultra Light spinning casting distance: I agree, I can cast light lures as far or further and faster and very accurately with my new BFS rods and reels.

I was really surprised with how well it fished, the drag was really impressive to me on those bigger fish cuz I was using 6lb fluro leaders. Also got a 4000 size for my dad for pike fishing cuz he doesn’t know how to use a bait caster, and he had no issues. You guys should give one a try, I’d love to hear what you think.

      You can add a minute amount of weight easily, I use Storm suspend strips and trim them down to slivers to help balance my 110’s to perfectly suspend at different water temps( and I mean perfect, mine will sit at the same depth for over a minute). You can always use a heavier gauge wire hook or even larger size of split ring to finely balance jerkbaits without adding stock on weights.

That Jason Christy shirt works as a shirt and gaitor, but Jason said he couldn't stand the feel of a gaitor so he had em design his shirt. It's a great option. And the zip in the front loosens the shirt alot if you're not worried about sun. It also has a catch on the hood, for the bill of your hat. It keeps the hood in place when you're up on pad runnin across the lake.
      Saw your comment and figured it might be a really good option for ya.
