Re: New Steez A II vs High End Shimano’s

All my reels are Shimano’s (Metaniums, Bantam, Antares), but I just decided to branch out and try a Daiwa Steez A II (JDM version). It replaced a Bantam on my Megabass BMG.I took it out tonight for a some testing. It doesn’t seem like it casts quite as far as my Shimano’s and isn’t a comfortable to...

Re: Very good, inexpensive square bills?

Academy Sports square bill I second this, the square bill from academy sports has caught me a good amount of fish. They come with good hooks and good paint jobs. Side by side, they don't look any different than a strike king 1.5 square bill. I paid $2.99 on sale. They are currently $2.44 on the Aca...

Re: Must have topwaters

Jackall Pompadour Jr is a must have. This thing gets bit when nothing else will. I think it's something the fish haven't seen much of that gives it such success.

A close second, is the whopper plopper 75. So versatile, pop it, start and stop, steady retrieve, such a versatile bait.

Re: Anyone have some time on the new Alphas 800

I just got my Alphas and I'm very impressed with it. It's probably the best palming Daiwa reel I've ever owned. I think it palms much better than the new zillion, kind reminds me of a smaller 16 metanium. It's a lot of reel for the price they are going for right now.

Would love to hear what you guys have to say! Christian Ya it's just a Curado brass gear set that fits i...

Re: Shimano Chronarch 100d7 Anti Reverse Bearing Help!

I am having the same issue with my 100D7. When using the socket do you push from the outside of plate in or inside of plate out? Hi, I originally started this post a long time ago. Anyways, you want to push the anti reverse bearing inward. If I can remember correct, I think I used a 10 mm socket. W...

When will pre-orders begin for the US model?
I pre-ordered mine and was told it will ship out mid February. I bought from American legacy Fishing, $377 with their 10% discount when you sign up for their newsletter.
