My 15 year old Daiwa bit the dust this weekend. What is a good replacement reel. My price point is up to $150.00 it will be used for worming and some lighter jig work. I spool with 30lb power pro slick and attach flouro leaders depending on conditions. MY other reels are some old 5500, a Citrix, and a lews. Maybe leaning towards another Lews. What have you guys had good luck with?

Lew's introduced a bunch of nice reels at ICAST this year. Some even in the $60 price point which I will admit I'm curious about.

I personally use Pflueger reels for most of mine but I got a great deal on them. IF I were to buy a new Reel now I would head towards Lew's just based on the coupons and bang for your buck.

Which model Daiwa did you have? If Daiwa worked for you why change? Lot's of people are happy with the Tatula which is in your price range. I am currently waiting on receiving a new Type R Tatula which I won in an auction for well south of $150.

The Abu Garcia revo series are favorite of mine. I'd say the revo SX . You can usually find good deals to knock the price down a little. I have the 1st generation S and love it but the 3rd generation don't seem to have as much stopping power.

I went to Lews when they came back a few years ago and I have 7 of them now. I have given them a serious workout and they are still going strong. I have two of the Tournament MG which should be in your price range. It sounds like they have plenty of options now.

Spent the evening at cabelas in Woodbury . Played with the tatula , curado and lews. I left with the lew's tournament mg. It just felt smoother than the others . The reviews for all of the reels were good so I went with what felt best. Thanks for the suggestions it will be on a 7 ft shimanno with 30 lb pp super slick

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
