Re: 2019 Daiwa Morethan PE 1000 TW

I've had to bite my tongue the last couple of hours as I have gazed down at my beloved Morthan PE SV 8.1R-TW and back up at the new "improved" version. Aquaftm: I see only one solution here. You’re going to have to complete the set. :D The only solution here is to wait until the current Morethan ha...

Re: 2019 Daiwa Morethan PE 1000 TW

I've had to bite my tongue the last couple of hours as I have gazed down at my beloved Morthan PE SV 8.1R-TW and back up at the new "improved" version. My first impression of the new reel compared to the old (while trying not to be a Debbie Downer): -New reel 20-30 grams lighter depending on Gear Ra...

Re: If I need new BFS reel?

Another thing I will add that I think most people don't think about is matching the side plate bearing to the spool bearing. I would imagine that if you are swapping out spools (especially a BFS spool with a high quality micro bearing) and leaving in your stock or even a quality ceramic bearing in y...

Re: Looking for first megabass rod please help

Way too broad of spectrum you are trying to cover with one rod. It can be done... but I don’t reccomend trying this AT ALL. My advice? If you really want a Megabass Rod - then figure out what technique you enjoy most and tailor the Megabass rod of your choice to that technique. A frog Rod is SOOOOO...

Re: Cold water/ cold front -fall / winter JERKBAIT

The third one up on the left really threw me for a loop when I looked at it in the picture. I was like "what the hell is that purple and super blue?" It does a bizzare job of picking up light and colors around it.

Here is another pic from a different angle in a different light.

Re: Cold water/ cold front -fall / winter JERKBAIT

What color is the lure in the right column third one down? It looks like it has a streak of gold going down the side. It's black on the bottom, going up to the side, where it transitions into kind of a bronze color over a honeycomb pattern. Then black on the top...with a shocker rsz_1bronze.jpg A S...

Re: If I need new BFS reel?

Zenaq says they are Made in Japan. I was aware they are made in Japan. They have a very tight distribution network and none of them will ship that brand in particular to the US. (or I could not find any). It makes me think they have a patent or trademark issue. Actually, I think it's just a distrib...

I know I was a bit let down when I recieved by 1st $400 MB rod-made in China, hopeing for redemtion I ordered a $500 MB rod, China, further redemption a $600 MB rod China. It's litterally a sticker shock, and I'm not talking about price. ...

Re: If I need new BFS reel?

I was always under the impression that the jdm fenwicks were made in japan. When my KTF super techna showed up with the made in china sticker on it i was little disappointed. But, once you handle it and see the build quality you quickly forget, lol. Same with my X7's, always thought they were jdm a...
