Re: Phenix Spreads Their Wings Into the Line Market with Hydra Braid

Good to know that is seems to be a quality line. I'm always wary when a certain type of company (in this case rod builder) magically develops and brings to market a new product. Did they slap together a PE factory, or are they outsourcing and if so where and with whom? Questions I always like to kn...

Re: Phenix Spreads Their Wings Into the Line Market with Hydra Braid

This is one helluva good quality line. I'm running 30 on my Steez A HLC 6.3 paired with a custom Otterod MHX CB907 for 5/8-1.25 oz moving baits like lipless, topwaters, chatters, wakes, buzzbaits. The 10lb is very thin, excellent body/form, casts great and is strong and quiet. I have it on a Daiwa B...

Re: iRod Leans into the Power of the Sea with the SWC794C-H Poe's Mag Stick

Excellent read and write up...this rod will be en route to serve as a multi purpose light swimbait rod for 1-3 oz baits. Thanks Cal! Two years later? I'm surprised it's still available :lol: :lol: :lol: Haha...for sure. I have gone through a few sticks the last couple of years trying to find a 1-3 ...

Re: New Twin Power C2000SHG is making a rubbing sound

I want to add, that the exterior mailing bag was a UPS bag, but noted that it was subcontracted to USPS for shipping. IIRC, I think I saw this when I went to track the pkg online on UPS.

Re: New Twin Power C2000SHG is making a rubbing sound

Excellent! I wonder if they knew it would cost more than $200 to ship from the United States to Japan. Yeah that's right, $200. The lady at FedEx told me if I ship it myself, it would be a little over $206 to ship it to Japan. That's insane! FedEx can be a total rip-off, and UPS (and now add USPS t...

Re: New Twin Power C2000SHG is making a rubbing sound

Digitaka gave me their FedEx account number so that I can send the real back to them at no cost to me. As soon as I get a tracking number, I am going to send them the tracking number and as soon as it is in the system, they are going to refund my money so I can buy another reel. That is great custo...

Re: Evergreen International's Next Generation Super Stallion

Just wanted to bump this article up as I don't see a lot on the SS Black version...sounds like this model is specifically more inclined towards power moving presentations and has larger fill sized guides, which I really prefer for larger diameter lines and connection knots on a few of my current rod...

Re: Defying the Status Quo : ARK Fishing Creates Their Own Gravity Baitcasters

Neat little reel, and so much akin to Daiwa in the form factor. Also, this is a unique take on how to maximize the versatility of braking systems and essentially almost achieves the same application as Daiwa's 3-D Magforce, IMO.
