archie_james_c Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 Well guys after just dropping 170$ on my new Daiwa Tierra 2000 today and still owing dough on my boat, I don't think I'll be fishing for a week or so...so instead of a report I figured I'd give some of the gear-heads on the site some gear porn to creep on . If you guys wanna add to the thread with your new "had to have purchases" then join in! You're seeing a St.Croix Mojo Bass Medium Light X-Fast 6'9" with a Daiwa Tierra 2000 size strapped to it...been using the rod for some time now for walleye and bass, just picked the reel up today...thinking of spooling up some high-vis yellow Power Pro 10lb .
ohhenrygsr Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 sorry but this thread is useless without a CenterFold please
Greencoachdog Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) Dude!... don't look now, but somebody has stolen most of the cork off of your handle!!! Now that's my kinda "live bait"!!! Edited July 30, 2009 by GCD
archie_james_c Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Posted July 30, 2009 Dude!... don't look now, but somebody has stolen most of the cork off of your handle!!! You gotta be stylin' to catch Wally's .
splashhopper Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 but is she a "catch and release" though ?????
archie_james_c Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Posted July 31, 2009 the handle is used to drop shot lures Correction, the handle is used to make me look super cool while fishing .
bassjnkie Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 Archie, your going to love that Tierra. They cast like a dream, with a wicked smooth drag. I use 2 for carp and never failed me.
archie_james_c Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Posted July 31, 2009 Archie, your going to love that Tierra. They cast like a dream, with a wicked smooth drag. I use 2 for carp and never failed me. Well knowing that they're tested "Carp Tough" is good enough for me, as all I'll be doing is winching in lazy Walleye . How long have you been using them for?
bassjnkie Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 2 of them I've been using 1.5 years and the 2 for carp a little over a year. They are great little reels. The drag knob can be finicky though when taking them off and putting it back on, But it's a minor issue.

Yah I noticed that right away they have that rubber grommet to keep water out...just gotta be careful thats all. What size tierras are you running for carp (and your other setups for that matter )what line??? Speak!!! I am a sponge...bringeth the knowledge.
Greencoachdog Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 a Daiwa Tierra 2000 size strapped to it. btw... your Diawa Tierra 2000 would have to stand on it's Momma's shoulders to be able to reach up high enough to kiss my Shimano's 1500 Stradic's ... and that would be one of the Diawa's finer points!!!

Hey...don't you have some sort of cousin kissing contest to attend? ***banjo playing in background***
Greencoachdog Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) Hey...don't you have some sort of cousin kissing contest to attend? ***banjo playing in background*** My sister, my wife... my sister, my wife.................... ... how much corn squeezin's is left in the jug paw-paw??

archie_james_c Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Posted July 31, 2009 My sister, my wife... my sister, my wife.................... ... how much corn squeezin's is left in the jug paw-paw?? You got any gear porn?
mbac31 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 Please dont ask GCD for gear porn. You eyes wont handle what he will post.

What size tierras are you running for carp (and your other setups for that matter )what line??? Speak!!! I am a sponge...bringeth the knowledge. 3000's with 8Lb Siglon for float/match fishing, but I will be down grading the size to the 2500's soon. The nice thing about the reels is the body is small, which in turn make them light. Edited July 31, 2009 by DanielM
Jet Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 Nice reel man. Keep an eye on the pin in the handle to see if it starts to slide out. I had the same one and the pin was the only thing that didn't perform as advertised.
GBW Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 ????? ummm, miss. you some how hooked yourself. please let me help you take that off and remove the hook...

How do you have the heart to put it on the ground? LOL You need to wrap it in a blanket. What's up with these rods that don't have the whole handle corked, but just a part of it? Is the economy that bad that they're saving on cork? Or, it makes the rod lighter, but then again cork is a pretty light material?

Or, it makes the rod lighter, but then again cork is a pretty light material? You gotta lay the reel **gently** on the ground . And no...the only reason this type of handle was invented was to make me look cool on the water...because we all know, if you don't look cool you ain't catching fish. The same rules apply for hunting...
