Re: salvaging weakened/broken spinnerbaits

i dont fish spinnerbaits a whole lot anymore, but this is a great idea, extend the life of still useful baits!

Re: Favorite Spinning Reel?

Sometimes I regret not trying a Certate... but at the moment I really enjoy the new Stradic FL. I fish spinning reels a good amount and I feel like for $150 JDM an aluminum, rugged Stradic FL is hard to beat. Could buy 2 for the price of one Certate. I would really be fine with using all old Stradi...

Re: Mottled Tubes?

find a custom bait maker (lots of facebook groups dedicated to soft plastic bait making!) with a tube mold and can make swirls or one that is able to hand dip them. i make small injection tubes, 2.5 and 2.75", but im not good at swirls.

Re: Garage Made 6" Open Pour Swimbaits

Right on, thanks! It's kinda funny. You only do injection baits, and I started with open pours. Just got an injection mold this week and plan to do my first shoots this weekend. Any tips? there isnt much different between open pour and injection, really, hold a little pressure and top the mold off ...

Re: 21 Luvias Airity vs 18 Exist

If you’re not stuck on size and are putting it on the Flyssa, I’d highly recommend getting a 4000 size reel. The larger spool diameter will help with casting distance. It will also have a smoother drag since there’s more surface area to contact on the drag washers. Im trying stay on the lighter sid...

Re: What's it gonna be? 22 Stella or 22 Exist

Got some time on the 22 Exist and really happy with it. I’d say it lives up to the hype as far as refinement. It’s spectacular. Very very similar to the last version but slightly better balance and winding. With the improved inertia talk I was expecting a big difference in winding feel and I’d scor...

Re: Daiwa Exist 22

With how good Twin Powers and Exsense reels are, I don't see the reason for spending the money for Stellas or Exists. Even with house good the Stradics and Vanguards have been over the past couple years, the gains you get for the higher price are much smaller now. those 2 and the luvis airity and c...
