Re: Did Evergreen stop producing the Super Stallion?

Plat has one, supposedly. And cheaper now as well, vs a year ago.

I'm very sorry to hear of that. He was a great guy to deal with. My condolences to his family. A great member that we lost here.

Megabass Lin owners needed

Quick question. Does the drag click on these reels as it does on the Ryoga 1016 when line is being pulled out? If so or if not, then which model? Thanks.

Re: defective blank loomis glx 783-2c ?

I'm on my third one. First one with the weibe seat, I don't recall seeing that spiral. The second and the third that I had both had that spiral on the blank. The third that I have has one more guide added to it versus the second one. Both the second and the third ones that I owned had the ecs reel s...

Re: Revo Toro NaCl supertuning.

I have the first Gen Toro 51. The handle bearings are upgradable. I may assume the rest are the same. Of all the Revos that I've owned, all the handle knobs either have bearings or plastic removable bushings. Really? I thought my inshore g2 is stamped in. Will have a look! Not sure about that one. ...

Re: Ever use a GLoomis escape casting rod?

I have the MBR-783-2C GLX. (2-piece) Fishes just like the one piece. No complaints. The hard case with it is also excellent for travelling.

Re: NRX and Phenix K2 blank weights

Very informative.

Next question would be how the blanks compare to one another as far as power goes. Would the 3 power NRX be similar in power to a 3 power K2 or would it be similar to a let's say a 2 power K2???

Thanks ahead for any info.

Re: Can the DC system break?

Have you fished the Metanium DC? I love the look of it, and the light weight; does it have the same 4X8 DC that the Calais does? The review here said it didn't cast much better than the standard Metanium MG... If you like the loud whine, then the Metanium DC7 is it. It's the one with the loudest wh...

Re: Finesse baitcasting line

and crankmaniac I think the same thing, you get a loop down lower but then im not sure how it just seemingly breaks, i'm pretty sure its when i pull real hard to get out a snag. It doesn't matter which fluoro you use. It will eventually break if your line has looped. What happens is when there is a...

Re: Sunline Sniper Trouble

I've used Sniper FC in the 14# and 16# with the new packaging. Whatever the changes, I don't know. All I've experienced is that Sniper FC doesn't have the best in shock strength vs. the XPS. I've had too many soft hookset breakoffs with Sniper. Knot that was used was double clinch, WET, then cinched...
