Clear coat would be my suggestion. That or don't worry about it, or don't fish it.

Something I've always found interesting, Tungsten melts around 3422 C / 6192 F. Which is the highest melting point among any known elemental metal. Lead on the other hand melts at 327.46 C / 621.43 F. These temps differ by a little more than a factor of 10, kind of like their prices.... :crying: Hug...

I haven't had a chance to see one in person and there seemingly is not a lot of info on either tacklewarehouse or ducketfishing. Reel weights and line recovery are not listed. They do have a fun concept of making two colors in each model for rod matching reasons. Anyone know what the country of orig...

Looking at the box of my JDM Revo Elite IB it says, " Made in Korea". On the other hand, as many times as I have spelled Daiwa, I still from time to time spell it incorrectly, I will attribute it to being born in the 60's. The USDM Orra reels are also Korea. Anyone able to confirm or deny that thes...

I love reading these reviews. Comments: My wife kick me out of the house. But best $400 buy ever. Warning: If your married make sure you buy he or she gift first and then your Core 100mg7. If you dont then youll be happy either wa\y. Great reel From: Jesse: H-Town, TX :lol: Sleeping in the pickup c...

From what I hear July 15th was the official cutoff date. The new rods will no longer have a date sticker, but the date code will be printed on the rod proper. This change will anger a lot of customers out there that bought Shimano primarily for the warranty. The tough thing about this change is that...

I had gears swapted from a 6.4 to a 5.4 (no left handed 5.4's available at the time). Sent the reel in, within a week had it shipped back to me, they even changed the part near the drag where it said 6.4 to a 5.4 Rick Collins was a pleasure to deal with as well as Amber who I've delt with a few tim...

The Shimano Baitrunner OC is only made up to an 8000 currently and retails for 139.99. This size reel will only hold ~145 yards of 30 lb mono. The Shimano Baitrunner D is made one size lager in a 12000, retails for 189.99 and will hold ~195 yards of 30 lb mono. Having done lots of surf fishing, I wo...

for the longest time an Ugly Stick and some 30$ spinner real is all I used. I want to upgrade to something of quality that will last. Welcome to the board. I would like to commend you for looking to upgrade, but be careful the tackle upgrade monkey will need to be fed. I am reading a bit into your ...

If this is something you worry about, you might consider the newish VMC hooks that come with pre-glued eyes.

The only other baits it might be are the 'Lectric' colors but nothing in dark purple on the vendor's page.

The code: Month (letter) - day - year - shift

Stay away from the Friday lines... haha j/k

I am of the mind to agree that an anti reverse switch is 'useless'. Most guys that I see using this anti reverse switch use it to back reel a bait away from the tip of the rod before they cast because they wound to much line inward - bad fisherman. It is just as easy to pull against the drag or open...

Banjo minnow lol, this bait has caught more fishermen than fish. I caught a ton of fish on banjos i got for xmas when I was a kid when they first came out. It fishes just like a fluke really, but the nose hook can make things difficult. When it first came out I was 13 and convinced my dad to let me...

great pic...next time I'm in the box I will be checking my redeyes...

That bait needs to put down the potato chips, get off the sofa, and go fishing!
