Re: New pixy

Wanted to make a thread about it a few weeks ago when i originally saw it, but then i aked myself what's the point? A Pixy is: Finnesse speced, colorful and made out of magnesium. What are we getting this time around? An Alphas from years ago. That is not how you revive an OG, Daiwa. And considerin...

New pixy

So nobody here is posting about the new Pixy coming out? So many posts over the years from people hoping for one. I just saw some photos on Instagram, but can’t figure out how to post. Looks kind of like the newest Alphas. If anyone knows more, please post Edit: https://daiwa.us/collections/reels Al...

Re: Who do you fish with the Most ?

Me, myself, and I for sure. I’m not going out there every day to chat it up. I’ve lied to guys making up excuses why I can’t go and knowing full well I was going fishing by myself. Now I’ll go on pre-planned trips with a bunch of guys or the occasional sit in back of the boat in a tourney, but these...

Re: Varivas Nylon Line

I might suggest just starting by trying their ‘Varivas Bass’ nylon line. It’s a fairly new release. I haven’t tried it myself but I did try some shock leader from Varivas last year for beach and pier fishing as an alternative to the seaguar gold label and I was highly impressed. I don’t think they m...

Re: Designo Leben Torque Tune dlt-610mhrst 4s

I don’t have this rod. I would get this rod if the opportunity presented itself. It sounds like an ultimate treble bait rod-squarebills, jerkbaits and such. Not really designed for trebles, even though it has a deeper bend. The 4s represents the speed of the tip section. 2s is better served for mov...

Re: What is this

This is a rip off of the Phat Lab Hanitas. It’s a cool bait. If I recall, the OG is not super expensive or very hard to get.

Actually, I guess the Hanitas is not a Phat Lab bait. It’s by Madotachi. All else above should be true

Re: Project T 22: 2 new Tatulas

How's the casting distance on these? Do they feel choked off? I don’t think so. I finally tried a tatula and think the distance is fine. If anything, I find that the latest tatula requires a bit more care than the effortless free floating sv spools in zillions, etc, particularly against the wind. T...

Re: Studio Composite rods

Transworld and Paradox series? Not sure where you’re looking but they have lots of bass rods all the way down to M to MH-type rods (1 to 3 power). To me the 7606-5 fishes more like a USDM X-heavy cover flip/frog/punch type rod and it’s on the extreme light end of the swimbait rod spectrum. It CAN l...

Re: JDM Outside Weight Crank

OSP Blitz Appreciate it Cal. I hated to ask such a simple question, but could NOT find out what brand it was. For some reason I thought it was deps or Evergreen. Either way I'd still be excited to hear what anyone had experienced with the US SPRO version or the JDM. They are quite the pricey crankb...

Re: Studio Composite rods

These rods are awesome. I have a paradox 8 foot 6 in 4.5 power and a 7’3 in 5 power. They are tough as nails, simple, sleek, and sensitive. I’ve been planning to write an in depth review on the 8’6. I never thought I’d use such a long rod for bass fishing. I had bought it for snook. But I took it ba...

Re: Fav small cranks for smokin and burning?!

Look into the Lucky Craft lineup. They have several baits that would work well. My favorites are BDS1, LC 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, SKT mini. BDS is a fat little squarebill that goes everywhere and deflects off everything. Dives to 3’ or so and burns nicely. Glad they brought these back! The LC series is all ...

Re: DRT rods, tho

I’m not into business, sales and the like, but just on the surface the drt business model does not make sense to me. They sell their rods at premium swimbait rod prices, but their rod prices are not out of the ordinary compared to other makers. It’s just that they sell only a handful every blue moon...

Right on the blanks themselves.
Just looked at TW. Slick looking rods. Hints of jdm design all over those sticks. I look forward to hearing more about performance too. At that price, these might be bangers.
