Yeah..Let's keep the politics out of it. Go to Politico or Breitbart and express yourself. (although I must say this is a more cognisant conversation than thier comment section) I already think lessor of people now and I only wanted that to be based on their bad opinion pertaining to tackle. I even ...

(10) 2020 Shimano Metanium XG's

hmm...too frugal to spring for the Antares AR's..

The other answer would be that line capacity sucks on the Antares....

According to the Shimano Jp website, they both have 34mm x 19mm spools....maybe the Met USA version is different, but I doubt it.

What the heck is this subject doing in Enthusiast and Import you might ask...

Interesting read...nice looking rod

I'd definitely recommend running the same bearings on both sides of the spool. I would generally agree with this statement (and the others that you made), but I have been testing a theory recently which I think is accurate in the scenerio I'll describe. I utilize this out of convienince more than a...

I bought some of them up, sorry... :lol: http://www.tackletour.net/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=83496 I'm going to get me some too...$265 rsz_1bargin.jpg Nice, what's the price with shipping?

Those handles make me happy! Quite the collection of them. Wish I could have gotten my hands on more of the 88x25 Backlash Editions. I really like that 25 size.

I'm going to get me some too...$265

Is anyone able to comment on the action/power of these blanks compared to their American counterparts? Like I stated in a prior post I'm interested in the 7'6" MH but this would be my first JDM rod and I'm not exactly sure how I should be reading the specs/ratings. Thanks. These are just on the mar...

Here's the what's what on why I'm ordering at least one of the new Olympic Vigore's. A soothing education on Japanese discipline and craftsmanship. Man, I wish they would thow in a free pair of those shoe's..look comfy!

hmm...too frugal to spring for the Antares AR's..

Just got my Alphas CT and was going to put in a set of Hedgehog BFS bearings I felt we’re being wasted in my Alphas SV. When I took the bearings from the CT they seemed to be better quality than typical Daiwa stock bearings. So my question is would the Hedgehog BFS be an upgrade for the CT and woul...

...My only issue is in order to cast the antares smoothly it has to be on 4 brake blocks even with a trained thumb.... You must have recieved a janky Antares. I'm a Daiwa trained caster, the Antares is my first Shimano. I can cast with 2 blocks, in a variety of lure ranges, all day long, without is...

Wow I was afraid to watch that one vid thinking a 23lber was gonna swim up and hammer that Swimbait.

Haha..I didn't even notice that video until your post. Damn thing looked tasty! Almost makes me want to spend $700 on a $250 lure..(almost)
