      I’ve been throwing a Metanium dc for the last 2 years and it’s awesome! $500 is a lot though!

    Do you prefer the SLX DC over the Tatula 100 you did a video on 6 months ago. I’d really appreciate your opinion. Cory

    With the DC you don’t adjust the spool tension like a normal bait caster. You tighten it enough to keep the spool from clicking back and forth.

      Interesting. Whatever I have it set to now seems to working really well. I am going to think about that the next time I fish with it though!

    do you recommend a 6’6 rod or 7 ft rod for the slx dc, also 1 or 2 piece for the rod? i fish from the bank

    • @thesouthwes
      @thesouthwes  7 месяцев назад

      Personally I’d go with a 7 ft one piece

    What does the 151 xg mean? Which one is best for beginners? Trying to buy but confused to sizing and models . Thanks

    • @thesouthwes
      @thesouthwes  4 месяца назад +1

      150 - right handed reel
      151 - left handed reel
      HG - 7.2:1 gear ratio
      XG - 8.2:1 gear ratio
      Use the link in the video description if you decide to buy online! It will help me out!

    • @thesouthwes
      @thesouthwes  4 месяца назад +1

      Also I would say the HG is the most versatile gear ratio, so it’s probably the best for a beginner

    what's the difference in the ratios?

    • @thesouthwes
      @thesouthwes  5 месяцев назад +1

      They are how many times your spool rotates per full turn of the handle. So the lower numbers are slower speed reels
