Re: New pixy
I was hoping to see something new. Maybe an entirely new frame with no T-wing. Thing is though, T-wing is kind of Daiwa's feature now, and I am not sure frames will get much smaller than the new Alphas style reels. This is one of the reasons I think we see such small changes with new generations, sc...

Re: Things You Have NEVER Tried
I'd gone for a long time without trying a Carolina rig, then used it like crazy for like 2 years with great luck. This is one of my go-to techniques. I even use them up shallow with a short leader, sort of a stroker rig. The zoom lizard is my all-time favorite soft plastic on a c-rig. I fish dropsh...

Haven't really gotten into the true magnum crankbaits. I have used the big squarebills though, so maybe that counts?

Re: Things You Have NEVER Tried
I also still have not fished a "blade" bait, like the solid metal little lipless crank lures. Only recently did I get a couple of suspending rattle trap lures (Ima and 6th Sense). Not sure how every company doesn't offer one of those. This one is a little off topic, but I know nothing about bobber f...

Things You Have NEVER Tried
Just was thinking, we have a ton of people on here who have tried and done almost all of it. For me, I have enjoyed fishing for about 12 years now, and on and off earlier through my life. That being said, there is still plenty of equipment I have never tried. For example: I have never used or even c...

Re: Super Shallow Cranks
The SPRO Baby Fat John 50 and Fat John 60 both work for me, but to ensure I get less depth with them or others, I use 15lb fluorocarbon. Not sure how bad the even larger diameters affect action, but you can supposedly shallow up cranks a decent bit by moving up to way thicker diameters.

Re: Red Zillion SV TW 1000.
To me the Zillions are great reels, but the Alphas nose piece that is metal and part of the frame just feels more solid. It is nice to have in winter and doesnt get so cold, but it feels cheap. Just an odd design choice because the Zillions are very rigid and have metal under that piece, so why not ...

Re: Red Zillion SV TW 1000.
Looks good! Wonder if the colors with mismatch finishes like the TW HD does. It has the shiny black metal side plates/frame, then a more matte black on that plastic cover. That is still the only dislike I have about the new Zillions...

Re: Project Tundra Type R
I’ve been up to this project and it’s about done. Just got the Magnuson 2650 supercharger installed and a trip with the wife down. Pictures of my 2019 tundra trd pro I found with 17k miles and as of this post 30k miles Tundra's are amazing looking trucks, I remember when that 5.7 first came out. Wa...

Re: Are you using any Chinese manufactured reels?
I will continue to use Daiwa and Shimano, probably till I die. That being said, 2 of the highest end models I have owned have had issues. My Steez A had a tick and I just had to dig into a Conquest SE to get my brake dial to even turn. That being said, even with those small issues they are still mor...

Re: Aldebaran Tough to Dial In?
For that BFS rod, what size line will you be using? Anything larger than 8lb fluoro, ~0.24mm dia, I'd opt for the 30. Ald BFS holds about 50m of 8lb sniper/shooter. I've spooled to the halfway mark on 100m shooter spools. 8 lb Fluoro is what I was thinking, max. Maybe 6 lb. Not sure exactly. Sunlin...

Re: Conquest SE Brake Dial
That sux...I wouldn't even mess with it and risk damaging something. Send it back for a replacement. You are probably right. Just feel bad because now I will have returned a Conquest SE and a Stradic 2000SHG. Both Shimanos from Digi and I'm thinking they assume I'm just doing it for free shipping. ...
