Beautiful.... Just flat out beautiful

Would you recommend stripping down the Bocas and re-lubing them when they come in, if I get some?

I was referring to a completes set of Bocas.... Priced off of their web site.

Where are you sourcing that price from?

I have been recently getting into upgrading and supertuning reels. I posted a topic recently regarding a Daiwa Fuego and was advised to acquire Boca bearings. Fair enough, I like the idea and recently priced some Boca Orange seals for the Fuego. I just about died.... By the time you factor in other ...

Beautiful reel. I only have two things I don't like about it. One is the gold level-wind, you'd think with all the technology available they would make it to match the body accents. I know there are aftermarket pieces that can be used for that, at least in the world of Shimano, yet Daiwa still hasn'...

I have no problem either regarding Luck "E" Strike, but why'd Clunn go with them? Even in a puzzling world this is odd :doh: Like almost every pro in every sport, I'd guess it was about the money. We may not like that answer, but it is a reality in todays world. He had a deal with Lucky Craft via B...

That custom painted one is beautiful! I really like the carbon fibre handle on the far one... What handle is that? Thanks for the pics! Anyone else have some they'd like to share? Thanks TT- BJ

That is just wrong

Thanks for the replies guys. I had a deal to get one, but it looks like the seller was marketing a spinning reel and wasn't exactly clear on that aspect :oops: But I still have another place to check. Thanks for all the helpful information. Does anybody have picture of what they've done cosmetically...

Considering I'm new at this, would you recommend seals on or off for this project? Also, replace the level-wind bushings with what? Bearings? Sorry if I'm a little slow here

I personally like single tail grubs or the back half of a swimbait threaded on the hook. Always works for me, and I feel no need to change. One trailer that does swim well, but one I don't throw on my swimming jigs, is the Netbait Paca Chunk.

Pick what matches your local forage as close as possible. That gives the most confidence, to me at least, which is the biggest contribution to catching fish a color has. For me that's Bluegill colored spinnerbaits, and Okeechobee Craw colored jigs nine times out of ten.

Cool! Thanks for the information. On a slightly different note, can the PX Type R 6.8:1 gear ratio fit in a Fuego? Anyways, thanks for the info so far! What shallow/finesse spools, if any, are available for the Fuego?

Spros are the best I've ever used, including the Koppers. I have not, however, got to try out the Jackall Iobee. I really like the looks of that frog!
