SDS - I saw those, have been talking to him about some of his handles. Two weeks that is not bad, the listings say over a month for delivery.
Hawgtech - I always forget about those, I will check them out as well
Thanks

Carbon Fiber Strait Handles for Daiwa
So, have four TD-Z 103's coming from Japan, and would like to replace the 80mm handles. Either with the 100M 90mm version if I can find a few, or may even look at some strait 95mm carbon fiber handles. I've got a couple ZPI & Bassart handles on some Personal Orders, but even if I could find some mor...

Re: Zona and Lews
They're not really chains, though - what happens when the cameras are off stays hidden. Sure, it's hard to swap out your boat even when nobody is filming, but I'm sure they're fishing their confidence baits (which might not be part of the sponsored lineup) when they can (and you can cut around it w...

Re: Nrx 852c leader knot
I can tie an FG reasonably well in my living room... sometimes lol. Out on the water - no chance. I am just a ham fisted fool. I really don't use spinning enough/tie the knot enough - if I did it more often it might become easier. But basically I will tie it at home prior and if I have have to retie...
Re: Nrx 893
I tend to think of the 853c/893c as finesse jig/senko type rods... the 873crr picks up the 3/8+trailer nicely as it's really more like a 4 power, and the 894c for 1/2. The 893/873/894 is a great bottom bait trio. I also use the 854c for skipping jigs around docks and under trees, etc. I recently pic...

Re: Lubing Hedgehog ZR bearings
I want to say my HH's were pre-oiled, but I can't say for sure 100%. It might have been the ZPI's...but double check, as too much oil can slow them down.

Re: Dobyns Xtasy 754 Impressions
Nice review, thanks. I was very curious on the Xtasy line, as I had been a Dobyns homer for some time - All XP's and DX/HP's in my rod lineup. But I just couldn't get over the Xtasy pricing for a China blank. I decided for that kind of money I might as well give the NRX a try. Wound up with 6 NRX's...

Re: Ordering from Japan sites ?
I typically get reel purchases from Japan sellers/shop faster than I would say a ground shipment from TW.... pre covid. You;ll have no issues with ordering from the reputable shops

Re: Show off your OG Zillion
Kinda pedestrian on the exterior, all the upgrades are internal - 8.1 Gear Set, Hi-Speed Levelwind, ZPI Bearings, Carbontex Drag of course. It's got a few miles on it but still solid as ever. Running the stock spool but have some spacers on the way so I can try some 34mm spools now. Sits on my 916C ...

Re: Spool choice for Zilion Type R/916C (34mm)
The RCS 1016 spool I have is a long casting beast for me. I personally use an sv spool for frogging though as I skip a bunch. Currently using a sv103 spool in a tdz for that. I also just got some spacers for my Zillion 50th, but that one got a Steez LTD 105 spool for fishing jigs and Texas rigs. Va...

Spool choice for Zilion Type R/916C (34mm)
So, I finally have some 36>34mm spacers coming, and am looking at maybe changing from the stock ZIllion Type R spool to something else on my 916C. It's mainly a punching/flipping rod and Frog rod, and to be honest the stock spool does fine for the most part, although wouldn't mind some extra distanc...

Re: Issues with Tackle Warehouse
my backorder shipped today it looks like, so they appear to be running about two weeks behind on these, once they are in stock.
Re: Nrx 853c?
I have one and have struggled to find a niche for it - I always have the 893/894 rigged so the 853 is kinda in limbo. Oddly enough, there's a review on YT where the guy was disapointed in it's peformance as a jig rod but found it excelled as a spinnerbait rod. Kinday spendy to dedicate it to a spinn...

Re: If you had a painter willing to paint one TD-Z
painting magnesium is a different animal than painting a normal reel. Prep is the key and there are not too many folks that do it well, unfortunately. Make sure your guy understands the nuances of preping/acid/alkaline/etching/etc magnesium otherise the reel will look like junk in short order. TD-Z'...
