Re: Your opinion on the Daiwa's Zero Adjuster
Makes no real difference to me, compared to the typical knob. I still loosen it just a hair, then leave it alone until the end of time. Same as any other Daiwa.

Re: Who is the MOST over rated ?
Not saying I would or wouldn't jerk off to a rod, but I've yet to see one that attractive. To each their own though. This is a judgement free zone.

Re: Who is the MOST over rated ?
Don't know if they're overrated, but the ones that left me the most disappointed based on performance for the money, were St Croix Avid, Loomis IMX Pro and E6X, Dobyns Champion and Champion Extreme, Shimano Curado. All good rods, but offered very little considering the price tags.

Off the shelf you get what they want, custom you get what you want.

Re: Confirmed new Nrx coming out !!
The blanks are already dang near perfect. They could just get like 3 relatively intelligent fishermen in a room to design a new handle and color scheme in a few hours. Voila, new model. Just improving the build quality would almost be enough to call it a new rod.

Might attach one to the front of the truck for a winch. Does the 300K have micro gears as well?

Re: Shimano reel names
I wish they'd do away with the F generation names for the Vanford. Shimano Vanford the Third would sound great in 2027.

Re: Shimano reel names
They have some cool names like Stella or Vanquish...then they come out with Vanford...there has to be a story behind it that has yet to be told. Sounds like a word someone would try to use in scrabble.

Re: New Curado 70 mgl K
I actually like the look of the reel, just not the price. For another $60 I can order the Metanium from Japan and know 100% that it will outperform the 70. For essentially the same price, I can get a Bantam. They may be a hair larger, but they're not big reels at all. If this reel was $179, it'd be...

Re: Daiwa Tatulion Custom
Well at least there is a new reel with the Magforce 3D Break Sytem. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32952222421.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.32ef2492r5Zy0s&algo_pvid=fe8b97ff-1ea8-42e3-b7f4-f5d21b446a39&algo_expid=fe8b97ff-1ea8-42e3-b7f4-f5d21b446a39-48&btsid=0ab50f0815944060642117682ed590&ws_ab_...

Re: asian portal fishing
I've bought a Metanium, Alphas CT SV, and a Scorpion DC from them just in the past couple months. All of them arrived quickly in perfect shape.
Re: levelwind
Negligible amount. Just ends up being one more thing to maintain.

Those pics are the Stradic FL. They won't show the Vanford until the embargo date is passed.
