Steez information

I think I remember a post on this site sometime in the past which contained information about new and discontinued Steez reels. I wish I had written the info down. Does anyone have a link to that information? thanks

Re: Antares A for BFS

Thanks guys. That is pretty much what I thought. Maybe sell it and get something more suitable for BFS-if I indeed want to do BFS. I'm not sure at my age I want to chase that rabbit.

Antares A for BFS

How well would my Antares A work for BFS? I now there are a lot of variables but in general how should it work. I'm sure there are reels better suited but I have an Antares in hand that I have never fished. Please be patient with me for I'm an old senile codger.

which spinning reel if someone else paid for it?

If your wealthy relative (uncle, aunt, grandmother) offered to buy you any spinning reel what would you buy? You could not sell it or trade it but you had to keep it and fish it.

Re: Vanford F Ci4+

I can't believe all the moaning and groaning about the name on this and other forums. Really? Who cares what its named?? I would think quality and how it fishes would matter more than what its named.

thinking of a new bottom contact rod

I'm thinking of a bottom contact rod for 1/2 to 3/4 oz wobble head jigs with trailer like the structure bug,menace etc. I do not fish much heavy cover and do not do any flipping. I am presently using a Conquest 904 and a Kistler Z-Bone 7-3 Heavy in the older model and both of them work well for what...

Reel tuner?

Looking to buy a reel and the seller said he bought the reel from a TT member who told him the reel was tuned by DR. Any idea who DR might be?

Re: How do you use blade baits ?

A very productive way here in Oklahoma is to let it go to the bottom and give it a short jerk off the bottom-maybe 6 t0 10 inches and let it fall back to bottom-repeat the jerk.You must feel the vibration. Works very well for largemouth and what we call sandbass as well as drum and catfish. I hate t...

Re: 2018 Shimano and Daiwa new releases

Isn't Torzite guides what the new Conquest rods have on them? And now you find they are disappointing? Or did I read that wrong?

Re: New Loomis GLX 853c

Rodster you say you ordered a conquest and not sure you like it. Have you fished it and if so what do you not like about it?

Great guys to do business with. Not only do they sell it, they fish with it and use it so they know what they are talking about.

Re: Met MGL

No I had surgery on my shoulder about 4 months ago and am still undergoing physical therapy. My casting distance is limited but at least at this time I can still fish and launch my boat for which I am very thankful.
