Re: Not Afraid of Contact - The Jackall Chubble Minnow Shaped Squarebill
I have been using the Chubble for a year or so now, it’s one of the few cranks I do use. I got into them to fish over the top of the hydrilla fields that a lot of my local ponds fill up with in the summer. They work excellently for that, the 2-3’ running depth is usually perfect for just skimming th...

Re: The Thoroughly Capable, If Somewhat Uninspiring New Alphas
This is what has kept me from picking up any of the newer Daiwa reels, I have so many 34/33/Pixy spools that it's hard to go outside those ecosystems.

Re: Evergreen International Defines "IT" Again : The Orion OCSC-71H+ Black Rose
Sounds like a high end version of the Megabass Hyuga 72H. I LOVE that stick. I will be sad as hell when my Hyuga 72H dies, but oh man it is going to be so much fun trying to find a rod to replace it. It was my gateway drug into "non-USDM" power/taper combos and was at the perfect pricepoi...

Hey, I think there is an error in the link going to the second page, for me it leads to this old review:

Re: Shimano and G.Loomis Launch Limited Edition Bantam MGL & IMX-Pro Combos
I was one click away from ordering one from ALF, but didn’t do it. If it was an MBR rod I would have but I am very well covered for bottom contact rods.
It’s a hell of a deal and I hope Loomis does more of them. I would jump all over limited editions of some of the discontinued CR and MBR rods.

Re: Stadic fk spool
I know an Ci4 FA spool will work on an FJ reel in the 1000 size.

Re: Coverage of ICAST 2019
Do you know what models the two CR rods will be?
My kayak arsenal is almost 100% old model CR, MBR, and SJR rods but there are some gaps in my collection that could be cool to fill with one if the new ones.

Re: Taking Sun Protection to another Level – Buff CoolNet UV+
Still waiting for them to make one with a slit by the chin to pop a beard through. Even at "1/2 Hillbilly" levels it gets way too hot to have it mashed in there up against my chin and neck.

Re: Small but Mighty, the Deadly Megabass Dark Sleeper
I wonder if the weight of the lure is what’s causing the different experiences in terms of snagging? I have only used the 1/2 and 3/4 ones, maybe the heavier weight lets the plastic weed guard collapse when the lure bumps through wood in a way that the lighter weights do not? As it looks like the he...

Re: Small but Mighty, the Deadly Megabass Dark Sleeper
Yeah it is interesting how wood seems to get these guys more than anything else. Sometimes if there is literally one stick-up I'll still manage to find it. Also hear you about stock. These baits are definitely no secret and some of the colors sell out pretty fast once etailers/retailers get them. T...

Re: Small but Mighty, the Deadly Megabass Dark Sleeper
I am glad I am not the only one who looses them to underwater wood, I can't figure out why they seem to snag so often. I really like the 1/2oz ones for fishing weedy and muck-bottomed ponds, they seem to pick up very little debris when fished on the bottom and they come through weeds very well. I do...

Re: Stradic CI4+ Reel Stems
Is the reel stem on the 1000 just as long as the 2500? I have big hands and in the past some 1000 series reels have busted my knuckles due to short reel stems. I have both reels and will measure tonight for you. If I dont post by tomorrow morning PM me a reminder. In my memory it is a good bit long...

Re: The Yeti Panga 28 Backpack - A Waterproof Fortress for all Your Outdoor Gear
Good waterproof zippers are like that, you have to lube them for them to open with any ease. When I first bought a drysuit for kayaking I didn't know this and was "trapped" in my new suit for maybe 30min until I laid on the floor and managed to get enough leverage on the zipper to escape. ...
