Re: BFS baitcaster shootout, a personal journey

Comparing the Avail ALD0915R with the ALD0936RR, would there be a significant gain with the use of the latter on a scorpion 2010 XT1000/1001, or is that there is something sweet indeed about the ALD0915R that isn't reflected much in the specs / stats /technical sheet per se (dunno, something else th...

Re: Your lightest Ultralight combo

6 1/2 foot custom rod. Rod is 1 oz flat. 1 oz? What's that? A naked blank with the reel taped on it? What blank did you use? I guess a blank that length be it the highest modulus is still around half an ounce. The real seat though weighs around 1/2-3/4 oz. So what real seat did you use? Is it custo...

Re: Amart and Enigma

Copy the style? 'cepting the first five (those three spinning rods and the two 7 foot bc rods that are way too light to fit within the bushido inshore freshwater line, maybe these are indeed new) all the rods match exactly the technique, line rating, casting weight and length of what american tackle...

Re: New lures your looking forward to using?

If only this thread was in the enthusiast and import tackle subforum, Jackall Chubble SR Issei G.C. (Green Crayfish) Minnow 89 are by far the most interesting hardbaits to have their dawns on the shelves on the period to come. The Chubble looks like our regular shad shaped minnow walk the dog underw...

IM carbon

Let me get this straight, after the years you guys still believe that IM is some sort of modulus graphite rating that goes all over the spectrum from standard to high and that the order is always IM6 < IM7 < IM8 < IM9 < IM10 in terms of sensitivity? Is there a table / spec sheet stating it with valu...

Re: Ultimate BFS: Does it get any lighter than flies?

If you did get a point about the blanks thing then it could be that I was missing smth. Just a few things: Showed that fly fishing isn't light fishing as there are no blanks that can load less than 3 grams. The point is if the fly fishing is LIGHTER than baitcasting. Well, it isn't. Pointed that the...

Re: Ultimate BFS: Does it get any lighter than flies?

Many of the flies (or are they lures) fly fishermen struggle with are better fished on an UL spinning rod or a noodle rod. Kinda the point. Fly fishing gear isn't that light. More or less exact, a fly rod loads 57 grains ( 57 : 15.4323584 = 3.7 grams ) at 000 wt, 60 grains ( 3.9 grams ) at 00 wt, 6...

Re: Ultimate BFS: Does it get any lighter than flies?

I find this topic quite interesting. Will it die as it is? Btw, if you look at the attention to details paid to attention on a Sage ONE switch rod, they make almost all bass rods look like a joke. And the ONE rod handles extremely well. Maybe I can buy that rod & rebuild it into a bass rod? :lol: :l...
