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. i just got some Super Trout Advance S-spec #.8 (16.7lb) and its very thin, i dont know the exact diameter but its less than or comparable to as ...

https://www.plat.co.jp/shop/catalog/default/cPath/4027_4033_8130/reel/daiwa-spinning/2024-certate.html Plat has them up for preorder. looks like the 2000 size is back, and they added the FC models that are available in other lines. Airdrive stuff, etc. Maybe sooner elsewhere, but February availabil...

look into getting some custom baits made, there is a ton of bait makers in some groups on facebook that would be willing to help! personally i never put salt in my baits, its used by the big bait brands as a filler, its cheaper than plastisol and also weakens the baits, making them less expensive t...

Has anyone used the new Flyssa? If so, please share your thoughts. i just got mine saturday, so only have some very limited use on it. i have mine setup (so far) with a 2017 daiwa steez typeII and it balances well, not quite like the original but cant complain! sensitivity is great, i was throwing ...

On the Daiwa Japan website they have some information on new products and new Certate is not one of them. If that is what plat is taking about. I see the new Exist is over 90,000 Yen and the current Certate is 40-43,000 Yen so I'm going to bet it will go up a bunch in price when it does come out. N...

i have 3 of the current certates (2 2500xh and a jdm 2500s), have had them for a couple years now, and they are as good as advertised. im sure the new one, whenever it comes out, will be a slight improvement but it wont be monumental, perhaps a bit lighter and with the new rotor style. price will li...

it was brought to my attention today on a FB group that they are using sea guide silicon nitride guides instead of fuji titanium torzites on the legend elite and legend x rods, while the prices also went up. i usually love st croix rods, but this is a major downgrade IMO, will definitely not be buyi...

personally i prefer a heaver reel on the steez ags mml, mine has a 2019 certate 2500s on it, it feels way better! i have tried my 2023 airity 2500 fc lt on it, but prefer the certate. the airity is waiting for a flyssa unless i convince myself to get a 872s nrx before they come out! vanquish sounds...

the closest is probably the orochi xx or levante enforcer, i havent handled them but on paper the specs are similar.

Phenix classic bfs rods are getting high praise from several folks...I'd check them out. They look a lot like the p5 imo. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Phenix_Classic_BFS_Casting_Rods/descpage-PFBFS.html just saw that they make a spinning version of this rod (dumb name for them unless BFS stands ...

Definitely a great combo… I put my 2019 Vanquish on my NRX+ 852s. If you want the killer combo get the Steez AGS 7’6 MML and put the Vanquish on it. So so good. For me it’s the all-in-one 7’6 finesse rod. You don’t need anything else if you don’t want multiple rods personally i prefer a heaver reel...

The good news is that some models will begin shipping to dealers within the next week or so. The bad news is the Flyssa, Addermine and Javelin models will be delayed a bit. have there been any updates on when these models, specifically the Flyssa, will be available beyond the "summer 2023" date? be...

Should I get the 2500s or the faster HG version? this is a personal preference, i almost always err on the side of a slower gear ratio. its against the norm in spinning reels, but i can always speed up my retrieve but have a harder time slowing down, epsecially if i am not thinking about it. i end ...
