Re: Anyone have any recent experiences with NFC?

DrTrevorkian, Cut the act, you're clearly a shill for NFC. Nobody would go to such lengths as you have to defend a company that they aren't affiliated with. The fact that you would even engage with the guy who paid $500 to have a BLANK shipped halfway across the globe and tell him NFC owed him nothi...

Re: Stiff/wirey braid for slack line sensitivity

Fireline's strength weighs in well above what its listed at. I'd try a spool and order something with the same diameter as the braid you're used to. 30lb for instance feels like cable and would fish wood just fine.

Re: Dedicated deep cranking reel ideas— Shimano

I agree with the above sentiment about round reels. The Calcutta line of reels now palm so effortlessly I would argue the 200 size and below are even more comfortable to fish than a low-profile reel. Definitely worth looking into.

Re: Trick shop

I'm sure it would be a hit if Daiwa or Shimano started doing something similar. They already have.. how do you think 13 Fishing came up with the idea. 13 was just able to take it a step further because parts in all their reels were interchangeable from one series to the next. The market for tuning ...

Re: Trick shop

Doesn't seem so... Which stinks because I always thought that was a great idea ahead of its time. I'm sure it would be a hit if Daiwa or Shimano started doing something similar.

Re: Kistler Helium?

You could get creative by finding an EVA grip with an inside diameter that matches the spot on the blank. Take a razor blade and cut it in half lengthwise and slide it over the blank and glue it with a clamp of some sort so the cut gets glued back together. The more difficult option is stripping the...

Re: Fireline getting discontinued?

Anyone know the deal with this new Fireline? Don't see why they would faze out Ultra 8 and not note any improvements with this new one over it..

What do you think, which one cuts down more of casting distance, spiral wrap micro guides or more amount of micro guides in a straight line?
Neither should cut down casting distance... If done properly

Re: Zillion HLC... the neglected child

Have the same problem... Spool is so wild with anything under half ounce that its hard to fish the techniques I prefer. Would be great for slinging heavy football jigs or something I'm sure but thats just not something I do.
