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.

Where did you buy yours?
I bought mine at Amazon -
Vessel Megadora Normal Screwdriver +1 x 75 900
I just looked - it’s available for $8, when I ordered mine I paid $18 or so.

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...

Re: JIS screw driver set

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

Re: JIS screw driver set

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.

Interesting 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
I own the X7 Western Flip and the X7 Extreme Mission, and would choose the EM in your case.

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.

I heard this crank is very popular in Japan.
Have one in red color, never had a chance to use it yet.

Re: 2023 Steez “Real Control” Rods

Holy Hell! How Kyoya uses this rod, if the guides so small? As I recall he puts braid on his reels.

Re: YGK jigman

YGK and X-Braid are the same company. I think YGK change the name to X-Braid about three years ago.
