They have introduced a few rods over 8' long after B.A.S.S moved the limit to 10' a couple years ago.

What is the goal? ex to get maxim muscle growth ? Athlean X on youtube is a great channel to check out I will check it out. The goal is to get stronger faster naturally I feel like when I goto failure I’m breaking down mentally and I give less effort Back when I put a lot of effort into working out...

I like using Strike King Structure Jigs. I like being on the heavier side (including plastic) of the rods rating to get the rod really participating. Most of my skipping has been with Daiwa SV reels. My jig rod is a 7'6" MH mod fast Legend Elite. I also skip a lot with my K2 714. Using the rod tip ...

What rod(s) have you used with the A-70? That would be an interesting side-by-side duel between these two reels. I have it on a poison Adrena 6’11” med plus rod I had a less time today but managed an hour casting and dialing it in It can cast a weightless fluke further then I’ve ever seen with less...

Thanks for the review. I have a first strike spinning model and it doesn’t feel very balanced. 200 is a hell of a deal. I caught one of their “sales” but paid quite a bit more than that for my BW. My black widow is still “processing” I am anxiously awaiting it for this season! ...you wont be gettin...

Was talking with a buddy regarding the Catalina's line capacity. Decided to do the math but it doesn't add up in my opinion. Seem to not hold a lot of 20lb sniper. Tackle trap claims 140yds of 50lb braid. I used the info of basic PowerPro, 50lb has a diameter of 0.36mm. Pretty close to that of 20lb...

The original gold BPS Pro Lite Finesse were nice reels. Similar to an Alpahas. Light, cast well, easy to palm. Other than most of the things that I have used that stood out were for a reason and not something that was under the radar Along the same lines I am impressed with my older gold colored Ca...

my only question is will the SV spool from a zillion TWS swap onto a catalina? The Zillion SV TW (34mml will not fit. The Catalina will accept any 1516 sized Zillion TWS. The 1516 is the platform the original TWS Zillion is. I have fit the 1516 stock spool as well as a Ray's DIY spool, both fit per...

I haven't used that model. I have a couple customs on the Legend Elite blanks. 7ft Lite and 76 Med-Heavy Mod Fast. Both are pretty decent vlanks and I have no problem detecting bites. Tapers are nice too.

I'm not sure any reels in existence have flown under the radar on this particular forum.

Probably true. There are a lot of "A Shimano what" or "Daiwa made what" type reels. Like I been eyeing up a Daiwa HRF Sonic Speed as a flipping reel candidate.

Shimano Stile 100XG

8.1, slightly smaller than the current Aldebaran, sweet cosmetics, shallow spool...perfect for short range 14lb FC like the T rigs.

I'm looking for a casting blank similar to the loomis 854 in power. I will throw everything on these 3/8-1/2oz. spinnerbaits, jigs, bladed jigs, traps, squarebills, 190 ploppers, texas rigs, swimbaits, burner worms etc.. I had 3- 736mb X-Rays built and I'd like more rod power. Thanks, Brian. IDK ho...

Lure magazine 2020
Some interesting new stuff from across the Pacific

Tease!!!

X2! Pics or it didn't happen.

Probably sitting on the toilet, getting his fill.

Wonder what will replace the Zillion rods? For between the 200 to 500+ range.
