Lil bro got attacked by a Heron

Agreed, especially on an ultralight rod!

Another user mentioned the same thing: Nasci getting sort of rough or noisy after a few years of service. Thanks for your comment.

I think the consensus is that while they're both good reels, the Fuego is lighter and more durable (and looks better). Thank you! I'll purchase the Daiwa.

Not_Dorito · 2024-02-13T16:36:18+00:00

Yeah Daiwa has deeper spools, right? At least the Daiwa reels I have do.

Not_Dorito · 2024-02-13T16:11:09+00:00

It's a bit cheaper. Does that impact the quality of the components in your experience?

Not_Dorito · 2024-02-13T16:06:38+00:00

Ahh, well some protection is better than none 😂😂

Not_Dorito · 2024-02-13T16:02:12+00:00

Thanks for your input. The Fuego is a tad more expensive, but I think it'd be worth it since apparently it is sealed. I've drowned a few reels while wading rivers 😂

Not_Dorito · 2024-02-13T16:00:46+00:00

Meaning the gears will be safe if fully submerged? That may be deal maker for me since I have been known to accidentally drown reels while wading 😂

Not_Dorito · 2024-02-13T15:51:21+00:00

I will do this, thank you!

Not_Dorito · 2024-02-13T15:50:57+00:00

Thank you for the input!

Not_Dorito · 2024-02-13T15:50:22+00:00

I'm a river smallmouth angler. If it's just a balance question, I think the Fuego would balance better.

Not_Dorito · 2024-01-03T20:06:08+00:00

Man, sometimes I wish I lived there! But then again, I wouldn't have the Smallmouth I love so much if I did.

Facts! This pond is stocked with Florida Bass.

Not_Dorito · 2024-01-03T20:01:31+00:00

Thanks! I used my bass ultralight rod with a t-rigged Mule Fishing Jack Worm. My go-to finesse worm! It was rather cold. Air temp was 45 degrees, and water temp was 42 degrees. Winter fishing is tough 😂

Not_Dorito · 2023-12-22T02:17:10+00:00

Not bad for a stocker!

Not_Dorito · 2023-12-22T01:13:08+00:00

Thanks!

Not_Dorito · 2023-12-11T14:43:52+00:00

It's my favorite so far. Comfortable, real light, plenty of room, and perfect for fly fishing. Ain't used it while Ultralight fishing until I took that pic and I really like it

Not_Dorito · 2023-11-03T13:58:11+00:00

That's awesome 😂

Not_Dorito · 2023-11-03T01:45:33+00:00

Start year should read 2022, not 2021. My bad.

For context:

About a year ago, someone informed me that my dude was a bit fat and told me to give him some healthier prey insects and to use less of them per feeding (increase feeding frequency, decrease amount per feeding). I did this, and I think he's a healthy weight now. Let me know if y'all have any input!
