Re: Replacing 20 met spool bearing
I've got a 20 met with a bad spool bearing. I've of course tried ultrasonic and acetone to no avail. Normally I would just measure and buy a new one but this one has a small o ring attached to it. Shimano schematic shows it as non serviceable and to replace the whole spool. It doesn't even have an ...

Re: 2022 Bantam rods
Anyone own one of these rods? I looked into them in the past and searched on here but it seemed like they never garnered much interest. I picked up the 168L+ BFS center cut 2pc rod last week and got to use it this past Sunday. I was pretty impressed with the taper and sensitivity of the rod. Very l...

Re: Evergreen Orion Black Rose
I need to be convinced to get one of these and a JDM Zillion HD. Heavy flouro as a jig rod, big plastics and smaller swimbaits up to 2.5 oz. This seem reasonable? I have rods that can do this but they are all heavy and I don't want to jig with a 72H Hyuga + Tatula 200 or 72H+ wild side + Lexa 300. ...

Re: Censorship
Eventually the ban can no longer recognize your IP and you can create a new account there with a burner email if your are a phone poster. Thats what I did and just pretend to be retarded to fit in.

Re: Evergreen X Over
Nice fish! I'd be curious what you have to say about the bait with more time with it. Not much chatter about the bait out there, EG has a video or two on the bait. Unfortunate that the hooks catch the line on the jerks. I picked up two thinking they'd be similar to the MB Flap Slap but I haven't got...

Re: 2022 Bantam rods
Where exactly do these rod slot within the Shimano lineup? Between the Adrena and Glorious, or below the Adrena? I don't know really how I'd rank them. They're only slightly more expensive than the Adrenas and cheaper than the Glorious. Bantams have Spiral X Core and X Power technology. Adrenas are...

Re: Evergreen Orion Black Rose
Appreciate all the input guys, I ended up ordering the yesterday. I just found it odd that a lot of the marketing from EG was "ya it can throw a balam" and then very little besides heavy cover fishing texas rigs. I suppose because it came out before the Throne that it was marketed to fill the niche ...

Re: Evergreen Orion Black Rose
Hogsticker, a couple members have/had the black rose I've noticed from their posts via the search. Thought maybe more might be out there so I made this post versus PMing q an individual member here. Been digging the lightning strike, appreciated your feedback on it. I'll probably just pull the trigg...

Evergreen Orion Black Rose
So I'm really close to pulling the trigger on this rod as a replacement to an NRX 873c. Read through a bunch of post plus Cal's review on here. A lot of what I gathered is people using it for large swimbaits. Cal mentioned he threw a 1/4oz swimjig plus trailer and he liked it at the low end. Anyone ...

Re: New Aldebaran MGL?
On the topic of a new Aldebaran MGL. It's about due, will be 5 years in old in 2023. Interesting that Japan Tackle has the 2018 MGL in the archive section as mentioned by John G. I feel like the 2023 Shimano leaks should be coming soon, the Osaka show is in about two months.

Re: New Aldebaran MGL?
I wonder how the next aldebaran bfs is even selling. That thing is so ugly that even with it being a great performer, i don't hear anyone talk about it. Personally wouldn't want to have one on any of my rods. Haha damn bro chill out. Just busting your balls :lol:. I was in the same boat, thought it...

A source for 4x7x2.5mm bearings?
Anyone have a source for some of these bearings? My stock from a long time ago has run out, I had lucked into decent quality bearings from an ebay seller at the time. Today, I received an order of 20 bearings from a random US seller and they were all gritty. I don't really want to pay $4.xx per bear...

Re: Increased costs for long tubes from Japan
Just looked into this. They still haven't raised their shipping prices despite saying it would be done on the 22nd, they mentioned a delay on their end. The retailer in question also has a clearance sale going on due to them moving locations in 2023. Grabbed a rod I definitely did not need haha. Loo...

Re: 2 piece JDM rods any problems vs 1 piece?
...What I have noticed is as the connection ages (from lots of use and some wear), and over a long hard day of casting, movement of the rod, hooksetting/fighting fish...that sometimes the upper portion can get skewered slightly out of straight alignment. That's a simple and easy adjustment to "get ...
