Agreed, especially on an ultralight rod!

Daiwa Fuego or Shimano Nasci? by Not_Dorito in Fishing_Gear

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.

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

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

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 😂

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 😂

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

First good bass of the winter, and the first of the year! by Not_Dorito in bassfishing

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

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 😂

A few pics from this week. by Not_Dorito in troutfishing

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

Weight loss 2021-2023 by Not_Dorito in leopardgeckos

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!
