Re: Tokyo Rig

"goldrod" - nice to see your input. Feider was kind of comparing this rig to a power dropshot. Did you notice any increase in the number of bites or quality of bites while using this rig?

Re: Tokyo Rig

I might have to check this rig out. Just watched a YouTube video with S. Feider and he seemed to like it and said several positive things about fishing it.

Tokyo Rig

Please share your thoughts and experiences with using this technique. Do you prefer casting gear or spinning gear? What size reels work the best? How about rods? What's your preference? Don't forget your line choice.

Re: —Daiwa Catalina TW 4.9:1–

Does anyone know the Catalina bearing size(s) for the side plate & spool? Per the HH website, it's saying 3x10x4 and 5x11x4. Is this correct? The one bearing doesn't look like a 5x11x4 (looks smaller). Thought I should double check with everyone before making a purchase.

Re: Low Profile Baitcaster With Brass Gears

I hadn't heard of the Shimano Engetsu. I also didn't see it on some of the more familiar Japanese websites. Maybe this reel is from Australia.

Re: Low Profile Baitcaster With Brass Gears

Thanks eveyone for your input. I pulled the trigger on the Daiwa Catalina. I'm not sure if it has brass gears, but I couldn't pass up on the price.

Re: Scorpion MGL

For those of you that own the new red Scorpion MGL, what are the gears made of (brass or aluminum)?

Re: U-40 pros and cons

I agree 100% with "Hogsticker2's" comment about the magic eraser. They work really well. I'm not a big fan of the U-40 product. The cork grips that I've held after this product was applied felt slick and slippery. Maybe it's just me.
