Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods

Can any of you, and bronzefly I know you fish many of these, give me your thoughts on which conquest would throw large topwater (3/4 and 1oz plus) walking baits and pencil poppers? I was leaning towards the 904c. I am throwing these baits for smallies, so I don't want to be overkill and I don't want...

Re: things to buy in Japan?

custom or limited color megabass baits, megabass or shimano jdm reels, imakatsu baits, cool hats or t-shirts would be a good start ;)

Re: Jig head paint...

those are all good ideas, I have had very few issues with that paint, so maybe you got a bad bottle? Make sure you mix it really well too and wait at least 15 minutes between coats. Good luck!

you need to let the paint cure for at least 24hrs, better if longer.

Re: Calais 100s on that auction site scammer

i've been following all of the calais 100A auctions for a few months now, including the one you're referencing. for a BNIB one, i think the price he finally got—$545 on his third try—is not out of the question. original MSRP was $399.99 price but, $45 in sales tax, $40 in ebay fees, $12 in paypal f...

Re: Favorite fly rod and why??

This is a more difficult question than just about any regarding fishing gear for me... For trout rods I am more of traditionalist. A good trout fly rod will always be a good trout rod. The Winston WT and LT series are still by far my favorite graphite trout rods. There is a truly special one in each...

I caught a ton of fish on banjos i got for xmas when I was a kid when they first came out. It fishes just like a fluke really, but the nose hook can make things difficult.

Re: What lure disappointed you the most?

+1 on the magic swimmer, but also the chrome colored red eyed shads. I tried 3 when they first came out and not one of three lasted more than 5 or so casts without sloughing off chrome like a bad sunburn ](*,) One of them was basically ruined on the first cast!

Re: Megabass Heavy Jig rod recommendations

Let me ask, are you looking for ONE rod for 1/2 to 1oz jigs, plus trailer that you can use for big crank baits, big spinner baits, AND big swim baits? How big a swim bait? Before going into much detail, I'd want to be clear. Feel free to shoot me an email as well if you like at thetackletrap@gmail....

Re: Megabass Xpod Jr problem?

I agree with the others regarding your leader, better to ditch the fluoro altogether.

I have 2 xpod jrs and both didnt want to stay in position 1. I was able to sort of force it to stay up after playing with them for a while, kind of a disappointment :?

Re: Zillion Flipping rod users?

I have this rod since the year it came out. I would call it an accurate heavy flipping rod. I have used it for flipping, pitching, punching, frogging and heavy jigs. I primarily fish it with 50-65# braid. I think it is a great rod and would recommend it for that price.
