Re: My thoughts after a 7 year hiatus

Seven years and you haven't wet a single line? The horror... and deep in the game at that? The divorce part makes sense. The ladies have fangs, you know? Glad you got that off your chest.

Re: Cleaning rod cork?

Mr clean magic eraser. Done deal Man, I think magic eraser is too harsh. I tried it once I didn't really like the results. Dawn and a light scrubber sound like the ticket I agree the coarse side is too abrasive, but not the sponge side. It's just a sponge. Warm water and Dawn, any surfactant should...

Re: Most frustrating day ever

The condition you describe if perfect to add some lead to that 110. Stick a SuspenDot under the bill and on the belly, you probably would have plastered them on the fall. Good luck.

Re: Dobyns Savy vs St. Croix Avid or Premier

i use a 733 savy for senkos and spinnerbaits with a ci4....loads and casts baits really well....sensitivity is suprisingly ok for weighted senkos.....for a mh heavy it feels more under powered than my mh cumara or zodias.... I have three family members that use, and love, their Dobyns. This include...

Re: Steez XT

I've not heard, seen, or read of trouble with Alconite of yet. I mean, how much hardness is enough? I'm no expert, and at risk of coming across really stupid here, but I believe I once read even the vaunted MB X7 series uses them?

Re: Daiwa Coastal TWS

Tired of these TWS reels. Thank God I have the TD Zillion Coastal. Like THIS... The assembly is my fathers, an appreciated gift from yours truly. He has hit the great 70 but you wouldn't know it by looking at him. Nope. I wish I could figure how to get a decent photo on this site. 100KIB max, this ...

Re: RYOGA SHRAPNEL

Unfortunately, i dont have a 2020 ryoga to compare side by side. The Sharpnel is surely wider n taller than the 2020. The bj uses 2 centri brakes.. I do. The Shrapnel is still a virgin as I'm looking for the right rod, so no usage comparison from me. I acquired it specifically for jigging Halibut a...

Re: Japan Tackle new website

Really stupid question.... Again! but I keep seeing OG Zillion What does the OG stand for? :oops: Original Gangsta :lol: It's the first Zillion frame style prior to the TWS version and it's the old original one. Some circles, such as mine, would interpret 'OG' as 'Old Guard' and 'Original Gangster'...

Re: Extra fast or fast?

I see no response to your inquiry, so allow me to sprinkle a bit. Several variables determine how a rod performs, guide placement in particular when it comes to taper. Truth is 'fast' could be equal to another manufacturers 'extra fast' and so on. Designation is somewhat subjective in this regard, b...
