Gomexus handle question.
Suppose I buy a gomexus shimano handle that already has knobs on it, can I remove those knobs and put factory shimano knobs on it?
Do their brand specific handles accept brand specific handles only use gomexus knobs?

Shimano iCast leaks?
Any word if shimano will drop anything new for iCast this year? About time for a chronarch update.
Re: Bantam A
Anyone know handle lengths, spool depth? Will us and Japan versions be the same like previous versions?
Re: Bantam A
I usually stick to JLS or digitaka for ordering reels and haven’t had any issues. Spool sizes for MGL reels: 29mm- new Aldebaran bfs 32mm - Aldebaran MGL and 16 Aldebaran bfs 33mm- 21 Conquest 34mm- Antares 70 and Metanium and 18 bantam 35mm- New Bantam Are these widths or diameters? If they are wi...
Re: Bantam A
Tough crowd. First low profile reel to get infinity drive plus 150 size MGIII spool, and line guide moved forward to replicate Antares casting. It’s basically a low profile flagship Conquest at a lower price (of which a 150 size doesn’t exist). I also agree on the weight and rod balance. This one i...

Re: Van_____ Reels
Is the 1000 size called the Minivanford?
Re: SLX XT
I mod all my reels before I use them. I put a bearing anywhere one can go. Bantams, metaniums, stradics. Why wouldn’t someone max them out is my question? Slx xt with the five bearings added makes a nice little reel.

Re: JDM v. Domestic Metanium
Just sold my last two. I guess it comes down to the size of lure you throw. The brakes on the jdm were a slightly different color if I remember correctly. My tests were mostly with 1/4 oz shaky head worms. I felt like the us version was much less likely to fluff up on the cast.

Re: JDM v. Domestic Metanium
Jdm Shorter handle (84mm) Slightly shallow spool ** different spool brake weight (small white shoes) I had the opposite encounter - I feel like the us version spool casted better than the jdm spool. I def had to put out a third brake on the jdm I order to cast I can use two with the us spool on most...

Did abu drop the 4600?
Seems like they have dropped it from the line up- can’t find them on any site.

Bantam mgl xg handle length ??
So I know that normally, xg reels have 96mm handles. Everything I find online says that the bantam mgl xg has a 90mm handle. I just wanted to confirm this on the us market reel before I order the handles. I called but they didn’t know the information. On a side note it would be nice to have this inf...
