you got what you paid, even it's made in Japan, $25 still can only get you a garbage reel.

shimano!

agree, looks like a curado.

no reply?

Nrx is my "the one"

I sold all my Gloomis because their warranty policy changed after Shimano bought them, but after I switched to Daiwa, Dobyns, Megabass for few years, I decided go back to Gloomis again.

I use Gamakasu weightless hooks

Dropshot works really well with deep water, I mean 20' deep.

I use worms all the time, love Gary Yamamoto 5" senko, I caught most of my fishes with weightless.

my personal experience is add trailer will increase the chance of trailer snag the blade, so I rather not to use any.

Gamakatsu or onwer, size 1

weightless, will have more time let the fish see it and bite.

Haven't tried the new Ci4 yet, but old one is on sale, and it worth the price, the 3000 is best size you can use for most of the fishing trips.

I already have a 15 Met DC, still need another reel, trying to decide should I get another Met DC with different gear ratio or spend some extra dollars for the Antares? can anyone give me some idea? thanks!

Nice guy to deal with, paid half international shipping for me. Thanks again!
