I have several JDM sticks and another Ballistic FW LT 1000S-P on a Majorcraft Triple Cross 7.3Aji solid tip rod, mainly used for float fishing live crickets and some cast/retrieve of light jigs. This new reel is going on the other Triple Cross 7.3 Aji tubular tip rod that has become my favorite dock shooting rod. Both reels will have 3lb Yellow JDM braid. A matching set they will be except for the tip action and purpose. I am glad TW picked this reel up from the Daiwa, hopefully it will introduce more fishermen to the JDM line of tackle. Welcome to the boards.
