I'm not a brand loyalist, but I've learned to keep Shimano pinion bearings on deck for my baitcasting reels.

Amen. Brian.

It's a non-MGL original. Thanks much Bantam, Brian.

Does the Curado 200I gear sets fit the Curado 70? Brian.

Most oils and greases the Manufacturer usually rates them to 5 years. Brian.

Grande Bass Rattlesnake 4.75" in Vicks #20 or Trophy Hunter. Brian.

New Alphas, Tat 80. Brian.

I never hear any talk about the Grande Bass Rattlesnake Worms. They've rescued more than one horrid day of fishing, whether catching fish after struggling or putting that big kicker in the box. For me they just catch fish and they swim better than a Fluke. Vicks #20 or Trophy Hunter color then hold ...

Have you contacted Daiwa or Tackle Trap? Brian.

Yes. But be careful what you order, they're usually dedicated RH or LH. Brian.

A little birdie told me that Ray's DIY has some good quality swept CF handles on Ali Express for like $30.

What he said. Brian.

It uses a 3x10x4 but it's placed inside a housing. You'll need that housing. Brian.

How much does the weight in the center of the turn radius actually affect cast distance or spool start up? Brian.

Pretty sure it's on the palm plate. Brian.

I found 2 Cortland casting rods in the rod corner. I think the story was they were a collaboration between Thorne Brothers and Cortland. They still have their plastic on the cork.
Anyone know anything about these? Brian.
