#9999 - 10-21-2007 19:25 Daiwa Megaforce® with Twitchin’ Bar
Roboworm99 Roboworm99 Veteran Member Registered: 10-17-2007 Posts: 158 Loc: CA	Has anyone picked up one of these yet? I think for the value and the features,its a heck of a deal. I'm in Vegas this weekend,and went by BPS to pick one up since I had some gift cards and they only had 1 left handled model left. The guys behind the counter said they ony got in limited numbers and the employees bought them and they bragged about...ticked me off...

The twitchin bar was nice for a couple of months but then now I dont even use it anymore. So dont get the reel just for that. I'm sure the reel is decent and think of it as just that. The T-Bar is just an added perk. Good Luck,' BF _________________________ The Empty Can Rattles The Most...

In regards to the Diawa Megaforce, I just bought one. I had initially wanted a Viento, but was putting off spending that much on a reel, until this thing came out. Seemed like a great value! Well, it IS! I have several midrange baitcasters, and this one is one of the smoothest. I have fished with it maybe a dozen times now, (several hours) and for 59.99, I am VERY impressed. I bought the 7:1 retrieve, and I like it. The twitchin bar is pretty neat. I think it is something that you will use only every now and then, but still it is a nice addition to an already nice reel. I have always loved Daiwa reels, and this one is no exception. The mag-drag works great, I can cast this thing 8 miles with no backlash. I doubt that it will stay at 59.99 for too long. Oh and for what it's worth, I am using Sufix Elite line on it. 14lb test. Hope this helps! -Brad _________________________ K-Bye

Brendan Brendan Bassin' USA President Veteran Member Registered: 05-03-2001 Posts: 1431 Loc: Port Jefferson, NY	Good luck with the new reel Robo... my cousin bought one of those last year and he really likes it. It has also held up very well through a full year of tournament fishing. _________________________ Brendan Cucinello : Bassin' USA President

Brendan Brendan Bassin' USA President Veteran Member Registered: 05-03-2001 Posts: 1431 Loc: Port Jefferson, NY	Hey Robo, how have you been rigging your Fat Ikas? Also, interested to know what is the primary technique you use when fishing it? _________________________ Brendan Cucinello : Bassin' USA President

Roboworm99 Roboworm99 Veteran Member Registered: 10-17-2007 Posts: 158 Loc: CA	Hey Brendan...just realized my post didn't stay on this one...sorry...i fish it weightless, with either #2 dropshot hook or #2 wide gap finesse...nose hooked,just under the skirt...depending what the fish want..lots of snaps/twitches and let it glide down...or short hops on the bottom...sometimes in deeper spots...or for more distance i may add a nail weight...i even add a glass rattle to the them at times..
