Re: Major Craft BFS rods

For the record, I've paired a T3 Air with my Smith BeSticky BST-HM57UL/C. Although aesthetically a bit funky, it's a dream to cast.

Re: Major Craft BFS rods

For your intended application, I think I'd consider something from their Fine Tail line: http://www.majorcraft.co.jp/catalogue/page01.jsp?mode=id/201 These rods are specifically intended for trout, and will have a softer overall feel than the bass BFS rods. If you're willing to consider something ou...

Re: New Daiwa Rods for 2014

These AGS guides.....is that a carbon fiber guide? Also FrankW I do not think the reel covers that "widows peek" if I am looking at what I think you are describing. Which is basically the point were the real seat and cork meet. The jutting graphite that makes a V into the very top of the cork handl...

Re: Gaus 20X

Yeah, I saw that it was sold out and that the Caldia isn't listed. If Megabass USA isn't able to get it for me, I'm wondering what my options are? Should I try to order the screw cap for the Caldia 2000 Kix from Plat? Any other options? Thanks again for the help. Really hoping that MB USA comes thr...

Re: Daiwa Top End reel rumors...

New zillion 100% does not have t wing. Older zillions are hard to beat, but you will be able to buy a new zillion for $299 retail. Don't know if they are built as well as old zillion, but I will try a few. Uh, new Zillion 100% DOES have TWS: http://dev.daiwa.com/reel/detail.aspx?id=737 \:D/ ...and ...

Re: Megabass Jade Python

Although the rod is rated down to 1/16oz, but I wouldn't recommend it. It loads much better with weights above 1/8oz. I mostly wade fish rivers with light baits -- with this rod I would fish 1/8oz jigheads and plastics, and jerkbaits, wakebaits up to 1/2oz. It has a light enough tip to cast these lu...

Re: Ordering rods through Rakuten Global.

It's been a while, but if I remember correctly: To find out the shipping cost, you need to check out. The vendor will send you an invoice which you will have the chance to confirm (for Proshop K's, make sure you choose PayPal as your payment method). Although I've ordered from Proshop K's in the pas...
