Re: Best Spools for OG Zillions in 2024?
The biggest problem you will run into with SV-designed spool in TD Zillion is insufficient magnet strength/ too low inductor mass for adequate braking. I would take the Question to Jun Sonada at JapanTackle - he has perfect English, and knows everything about matching spools with these reels. The m...

Re: Wanees decal kits
Very interesting. I'm not sure that I want my reels to look like an engraved shotgun, but those look thick enough to provide some protection.

Re: Do You still Use Lures that You Bought, When You're a Kid?
I still *have* lures that I bought when I was a kid, but there are probably at the bottom of the archeological dig that is my tackle room. All the older stuff is at the bottom. I found a few bags of hand poured worms that were popular in the late 80s and early 90s, but apparently rubber doesn't las...

Re: Do You still Use Lures that You Bought, When You're a Kid?
I have quite a few topwaters primarily, but also a few balsa cranks. I've got several large 10 gallon plastic storage containers full of handpours from the 1980's and 90's. Every once in while I will dig out a few to throw on a specific lake. I have a few topwaters from the 50's and 60's that were m...
Re: New pixy
I am interested in a new Alphas or Pixy for BFS. I was looking at the Alphas 800S (shallow spool) or the Air version. My old Alphas SV105 with a 33mm spool doesn't cast very well when the line guide is all the way to the left or right. Once you take off about 2mm of line from the top of the spool, ...

Re: JIS screw driver set
My Wiha drivers haven't had a problem with the death screw. There is a lot of old info on here about the death screw. I hope that you can access it. I know a lot of the old stuff is no longer accessible.

Re: TD-Z Owners Guild
Such a fun medium power moving bait combo! https://i.postimg.cc/6pLdksbD/7-F78-E794-4909-4-B62-8-FBF-1606806-A5-D52.jpg The TDZ and TD Fuegos do make great medium power moving bait reels. There are so many great spools that you can put in them. The TDZ 6.3 brass gears in my TD Fuegos are especially...

Re: Red Zillion SV TW 1000.
The faceplate/engine covers on the old TDZ, TD Zillion, and TD Fuego reels love to peel and/or turn gold. I have replaced quite a few over the years. They were around $12 the last time that I bought a few. I keep telling myself to sand and paint a few, but I never seem to have time. The black cover ...

Re: Red Zillion SV TW 1000.
Looks good! Wonder if the colors with mismatch finishes like the TW HD does. It has the shiny black metal side plates/frame, then a more matte black on that plastic cover. That is still the only dislike I have about the new Zillions... I saw yesterday that the SLP Works store on Amazon has their Zi...

Re: Enough with the tackle. LETS SEE SOME FISH!
IMG_2146.jpg A nice 7.1 pound fish on BFS tackle last night. I was on em with a new prototype plastic that I created. It's going to be interesting to see if it catches fish everywhere. My creation caught six on the first seven casts. I don't know if it's that good, or it is just something different...

Mallard in mid-air with a spook Grebes Cormorant Coots Heron Several kinds of turtles Beaver Sea lion Geez I fish a lot! :D Did you boat flip the sea lion, or was it a long distance release?

Re: Manns Baby 1 minus
That Crystal Glow Alabama Shad is a current bait. The packaging looks recent. The other two colors look to be recent runs, but not on their site. Go fish them. They all catch fish.
