Nice job, HWK!

take my money please! as amazing as this combo is for the price, I am kind of thinking it might have been better to pair the bantam up with one of the newer more 'all around' MBR IMX Pro's like an 843c or 903c would it not? Even better price/deal from an online vendor offering an additional 10% off...

^^^^U gotta pay to play! :lol: ^^^ I guess so. I'm glad you guys can and do buy this stuff, and post about it. Otherwise I would never even hear about it. You got me all wrong! It killed me to pay $500 for a Steez CT. I like to read about this uber-expensive gear just like you lol! And it killed me...

Thanks Dan, I'll take a look this weekend.

Dan, I was looking at the parts schematic on the Shimano website for the ADL50 for the bearing on the wormdrive (I was looking for my ALD BFS XG and assumed they'd be the same) but was surprised to see the description for part No. BNT4117 say "HANDLE KNOB BUSHING", is that correct? Is it o...

Sorry, I'm not that schooled on the DC systems... You can read about I-DC5 (not the same but similar to the Curado's system) in the Scorpion DC Review: http://www.tackletour.com/reviewshim17scorpdc.html And 4x8 DC in the Antares review: http://www.tackletour.com/review16shimantaresdc.html Thanks Ca...

Best wishes on your new endeavors!

Great, thanks for the confirmation!

Thanks again for your help...
