I heard this crank is very popular in Japan.
Have one in red color, never had a chance to use it yet.

Will they work in the United States?
Any app restrictions as Limitbreaker has?

Holy Hell! How Kyoya uses this rod, if the guides so small? As I recall he puts braid on his reels.

YGK and X-Braid are the same company. I think YGK change the name to X-Braid about three years ago.

What is exactly wrong with T3 SV reel?
I just cleaned mine recently to the point I totally disassembled it.

The most popular Daiwa workhorse will be renewed as 2024 model. https://ameblo.jp/bassdamasii/entry-12830311619.html Listed price is 23000 Real street price should be about 18000 yen. It is time to whale when the yen is low. Do you buy reels here in the US? 2023 Tatula was already released after IC...

I guess it is terrible to be in that position.
Even being a co-angler in old days was tough to catch.
After several tournaments I promised myself I will never fish as a co-angler again.

Bass fishing is getting extremely popular and tough, we are at the point to be like Japan with highly pressured public waters. I think this forum is more about tackle, especially high-end JDM and not how to catch bass. I spend way more time reading and picking that tackle vs I actually go fishing, a...

As I mentioned in the 1st post, it's not really a topwater lure. My main baits are topwater walkers and poppers. Those are the ONLY two kinds of lures that I used for about 5 years. In those years, I fished with two guys (they're brothers), and they called me a cheater, when I used anything that we...

Bought this lure in 4 sizes 76,86,106,126 and haven't caught anything on it ( which is not not surprise to me, 80% of my lures the same way). Hard to keep casting this lure, if I can catch them on a PopMax or several other topwaters. You obviously can catch on it, but I doubt it can ever outperform ...

Nice find. If you watch his footage from this year, especially at the smallie tourneys, it sure doesn’t appear to always be a 6’1” rod he’s fishing for certain lighter applications. I’ll gladly start the speculation that one of his prototype Real Control models is a 76MLM. He’s clearly fishing a ro...

Wow! What a beautiful combo! Sharp looking!

I own three of the Ultima rods 1610L 170MH 172H, and I agree - they are absolutely stunning rods. Really a joy to fish. https://i.ibb.co/Tv4DDrb/IMG-6266.jpg https://i.ibb.co/WsPy6ZX/IMG-6265.jpg https://i.ibb.co/X7vBQB5/IMG-6264.jpg https://i.ibb.co/0sqfgy2/IMG-6263.jpg https://i.ibb.co/Xzz3yGn/IMG...

1mm is normal for sure.
Anybody else owning 2023 Vanquish to confirm?

I could go for it, but that Japanese app messed me up.
