Gblaze is one of the better buyers out there. Paid almost instantly, great communication and stayed in touch the whole time. Really friendly, and I'd recommend him to anyone.

Have had very positive dealings with Kevin. Believe I have shipped 2 or 3 boxes to him. Always friendly, great communication.

Pack #1 has arrived here in Maryland. Thanks, Dave! Much appreciated! The baits look very cool. Soft in texture but they feel like they'll catch a few fish. I'm going to try and rig them a few different ways. Dave recommends a wieghted hook, which will impart a "side to side" action on the bait that...

I sent an e-mail to the one provided on Japan tackle asking for the upgraded versions of the parts. It appears to me that they are simply trying to sell me the same part. What specifically should I be asking for??? The person I am dealing with says that Daiwa doesn't supply a mag breaking system tha...

The tow trucks slammed into each other.

Question: How many trucks were there?

tow, duh!!

.........OUCH I feel your pain. I (stupidly) let my girlfriend cast my baitcaster with braid (DOH!) once. That will never ever happen again, but I still think you have me beat. Good luck on that one, my friend. I would be taking the scissors to it, unless you have some free time infront of the TV to...

I guess my wierdest catch was this bruiser. Was flippin' the pads at a lake with a 1/2 ounce Black/Blue Terminator Pro Series Jig with a Zoom Super Chunk trailer. Felt the pickup, set the hook and he just started slowly swimming off. Thought I had the beast of the lake!! Needless to say, he kept the...

Just bought this reel and wondering about upgrading it. The first thing that HAS TO GO is the Handle, it's ugly (to me) and takes a lot away from the reel. I looked on Japan Tackle and didn't see anything handle-wise that would "match" the reel. It isn't a lightwieght reel and never will be, so I'm ...

I will check out all the rods recommended, thanks everyone!

Deep, not looking for a U.S. MADE rod, looking for something I can get in the U.S.....I'm not a JDM type of guy, I know some people are.

There's a huge difference in fishing your mg reels in the saltwater, babying them and washing them good after each trip and fishing your mg reels in the salt, throwing them around dinging them up, and propping them in a corner when you're done. The Shimano MG reels are fine in the salt as long as yo...

$imply because of the high co$t of cu$tom rod$.

Just picked up a brand new Daiwa Millionaire CV-Z253LA. Not sure if this will be kept or re-sold, but I'm going to give it a try. I'm looking for a swimbait rod to throw Mattlures Bluegills, 6" Trout baits, mission fish/basstrix style baits, ect. All soft plastics. I have the 7'11" Crucial XH for my...

Senko you will have to dig in my grave

Can't blame a man for trying!!!!

I just got me a new swimbait reel, so hopefully I'll be out there Monday redeeming myself from that DINK.

Not to go completely off topic but in reference to Daiwa's marketing, does anyone feel that it gives them a better price on a reel??? For instance: If I sell Red Apples for a dollar a piece, you're only going to buy so many red apples. But if I sell Red Apples, Light Red Apples, Dark Red Apples, and...

Well, I'm a rookie on the subject but I would have to say that from my guessed angles, the thumb would be on the inside of the fish, thus would not be a Shinner's Reverse Grip. However, It's a heck of a fish right there. The grip is clearly a digression from the original. Maybe Lobina can bribe me t...
