Re: Surprise on my wedding day!
Thank you all for the replies! She said in her vows that I can go fishing whenever I want. We will see how long that lasts . She has put up with 5 years of me coming home at 1 am smelling like fish. Never a question asked LOL.

Surprise on my wedding day!
I wanted to share an awesome surprise I got on my wedding day from my wife. The photos below are from our "first look" when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Yes that is indeed a Shimano Stella! \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ The photographer also took some cool photos of my vision 110 Boutonnière. https://i.imgur.com/H...

Re: Finish issues on newer Shimano baitcasters

Re: Finish issues on newer Shimano baitcasters
I am having similar issues with my 16 aldebaran bfs xg. I am having the paint bubbling in a few areas on the side plate on the handle side. The frame is fine no issues there. I did leave a wet neoprene reel cover on the reel overnight which might be part of the reason but I haven't had that issue wi...

Re: Kastking Sharky II
I would take a look at the Diawa BG2500 its a great quality reel for the money. Haven't heard many good things about Kastking reels in general.

Re: Bantam MGL Who has their hands on one?
I was finally able to put the bantam to the test with some decent fish. The Bantam is quickly becoming one of my favorites. It will be replacing my metanium mgl as my new jig reel. There is something about this reel that adds sensitivity, it is very noticeable, it could be the all aluminum construc...

Re: Edge inshore 6'6" light
I picked up a Edge First Strike 6’ 10” finesse drop shot casting rod from Sierra two weeks ago. Can’t beat it for $150. Very similar to the 7’ Kistler helium ml I have. I have the same rod, but I bought it through temple fork. It’s my first finesse casting rod. What reel are you putting on it? I ha...

Re: Casting reel for lake fishing
I really like the alphas air for 1/4. Funny you mention edge rods. I just ordered the first strike 6101 drop shot finesse rod. I haven't seen any real feedback on the edge rods for bfs applications. Got it for $150 so I figured what the heck.
