Great story!
I own couple of similar plugs, never used them yet, don't have any confidence they are going to outproduce modern lures.

Re: Bearing cleaning in ultrasonic cleaner
Finishing up some reels for spring season, and as HellaBread suggested, I cleaned ZPI and Hedgehog Air bearings in Simple Green/water 50/50 for 5 minutes with 60W cavitation, and soaked for 20 sec in 100% Isopropyl. ZPI bearings came out perfect, Hedgehog Air was not. Ran the Hedgehog Air for 5 minu...

Re: Midstrolling
Kyoya Fujita uses Jackall Driftfry and Daiwa Steez Real Control rods, as I recall 61L and 65ML models, none of them has ST. And he is really good at this technique.

Re: GLX MBR843C vs Poison Adrena 611 Medium+ for T-rigs
Had this Shimano-Jackall Poison Adrena rod before upgrading to Ultima. Nice balance and very sensitive. Great option for t-rigs and any soft plastic applications.

Re: Bearing cleaning in ultrasonic cleaner
What I watched several times - it is not recommended to keep bearings (includes stainless steel) for more than 60 seconds.
I use some Krytox grease and oil and found this video how to clean bearings.

Re: JIS screw driver set
Received yesterday the Vessel JIS screwdriver with a JAWSFIT tip to handle couple Daiwa's death screws, I had on my brand new Daiwa T3 SV TW reel I bought a month ago, and it worked like a dream! Could not unscrew using WIHA and WERA screwdrivers. The screws had a blue loctite on them. Kudos to Mist...

Ordered the Vessel Green +1 with my corporate cc, we will see how it's going to unscrew couple of my "death" screws.

I have couple Daiwa “death” screws in the handle knobs, no way I can heat up these screws.

Re: Varivas Super Trout Advance Double Cross 8 PE braid
Which Varivas PE line for trout fishing comes in 6lb sizes?
One of the Megabass Pro Stuff mentioned he uses the line specifically for his trout BFS setup.

Re: Longer, high end, versatile rod suggestions?
I own the X7 Western Flip and the X7 Extreme Mission, and would choose the EM in your case.evilcatfish wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 4:10 amInteresting suggestions, I'll need to look into these. I had briefly considered an X7 Western Flip but I'm afraid it may be just a bit lighter power than what I'm looking for

Re: Do you still use Boca Bearings inside your reels?
I bought couple hybrid bearings from JZN store, when somebody mentioned them first a year or two ago, and really impressed with a quality. The only issue with them - you can't remove protective shields. Wish they would come with one side opened.
