GLX 803c and TDZ ? Zoom is awesome. I had thought of that, but never found a used one for cheap. I have a M/XF Avid that I use for popper/flukes and didn't like it for my Trickworm-dreams, but I don't like XF rods much as GP rods, which the ideal Trickworm rod will need to be. I will look into the ...

If your wanting a swept handle, 7.2:1 and a sv spool that is going to be better for skipping and pitching, your better off getting a SV 105 because it comes with that already. The sv 105/alphas/sol reel is smaller than the alphas 150 reel. Is it going to have the line capacity for that 7'1" X7 rod i...

The term coined here on this site was "Alphasaurus". The TD Advantage and the JDM Alphas 150 share the same frame. Then the TD Sol and the Alphas 103/105 share the same frame. There was a shallower stock spool from one of the JDM variants built on the 150 frame, but I cant remember which model. The...

Shipping prices are up because they have to use a different shipper. Items are at a standstill @ Japan post/ems right now.

Just received my DRX 725C @ 40% off. Didn't get from Sportsmans Outfitters but put it on backorder during the sale.

Been close on that rod a few times but could never tell how ML it is?? All their rods seem super powerful. Still want one tho! Seems to have a soft tip with a decent backbone. Was casting a 1/8 oz flick shake jig and worm in the back yard, then put a gambler sweebo 6.5" worm on it. Will be fishing ...

Got tired of working on my reels without enough light, so I bought this at the Home Depot today. Very nice, compact, 6 levels of light and 5 color temperature light settings. https://i.imgur.com/uOUCE2I.jpg https://www.homedepot.com/p/Adesso-25-in-Black-and-Silver-LED-Desk-Lamp-with-Color-Temperatur...

Try leaving you tool box drawer open in Iraq and letting that hot sun bake those tools. Ouch. To learn to close/cover real quick.

Yeah, when I was in the Army at Ft Irwin CA. Working in the desert in the mid day sun, I'd wear gloves to keep from getting burnt hands.

Ask them to ship DHL, won't be held up like Japan Post EMS will. There is the 6.0:1 Twin Power 2500SHG or the 6.4:1 C3000XG.

Have bought a reel and spool from Chris. Both arrived in excellent condition very well packed would definitely buy from him again.

Yes I still have it. Only had it out once with no bites because the water was cold and muddy. Don't have enough time fishing with it to give feedback.

Turned out pretty good for a first time. Never did like all that cork in front of the locknut on the gloomis rods.

NICE!!! Was this converted to the mag brake system? I always thought the AirD's were centrifugal braking.. This is a Sol with Aird Side plates and handle. All the internal parts were transferred over. But if it were an Aird reel, yes the brakes in the sideplate would have to be converted to mag bra...
