Haha yep, this.

Does anyone know the dimensions for the line roller bearing in the Stradic ci4 4000? Boca doesn't have it listed.

Thanks

And the latest fishie:

The chronarch e5 is just a curado e5 with a new paint job, and that reel won the cranking shootout: http://tackletour.com/review2010lowspeedfinal.html
I'm a big fan of mine.

Yep, spinning gear for me too. Practically the same specs, though considering they're so bloody expensive, and I fish them around structure, I use 10lb braid and leader.

I absolutely love them for australian bass, but they're big cicada eaters. Obviously the best time to use them is when the fish are looking for insects on the surface. We get big cicada hatches here and they are a sure thing at that time of year. They paddle well across the surface but I find they'r...

The resentment came from the fact that Shimano painted a citica green and called it a curado and painted a curado white and called it a chronarch.

Apologies, that was presumptuous and more than a little ignorant on my part. I'm surprised however to hear someone in your vocation presenting as fact something which is clearly not. You say non-existence can't be proved but existence emphatically has not been. Yet you say that ghosts definitely do ...

A physician scientist? What is that? Did you mean physicist? You know a physician is a medical doctor right? Did you think claiming this would lend credence to your alleged of expertise in this area? :^o OP: Man-up and go figure out what the problem is. You don't need the bible or any other fairy-ta...

Hawaii has tuna and marlin, why would you want to fish for bass? I always thought the Americans loved them because they're all they have access to in all the landlocked states.

I have the Elite 5x DSI. DSI really comes into its own in deeper water. For shallow stuff it looks a lot like a regular sounder but the deep stuff looks spectacular.

Do you replace all three?

I have mine in this:

Deadset boys, they're fishing reels.

It's not that. The vision 110 has amazingly light hooks and barra open them up like paperclips. The problem though is that because they are small lures and finely balanced, putting heavier trebles on makes them sink like a stone. They won't even swim with 2x strong owners. Single hooks would mean yo...
