Re: New product request

Well we go by alphabetic order, so a new version would be the FJ. It will take a while to get to FO... You can always lay your reels on the floor and stomp around them shouting FE-FI... Do some heavy sniffing like you are actively trying to find the men that entered your lair. Get some old green ar...

New product request

Hey bantam,

Can we pretty much make my entire life and make the next generation of Stella be called the FO? That way I can get a picture of three of them lined up together that say FE FI FO and complete it with FUM and some sort of witty comment??? :lol:

Digitaka - Stradic and Exsence

I have a friend of mine that is getting ready to make a Digitaka purchase. 2 of the reels he is buying are a Stradic C3000MHG and an Exsence C3000HGM. Is there a difference in these reels? Obviously Stradic Vs Exsence - I'm dumb but not that dumb, but does the order of the letters in the model desig...

Navy blue JDM Certate

Can anyone put a model number/generation on this or perhaps a production year? It was my first high end purchase, trying to narrow down when I got it. It was in a case at a BPS marked way down. I believe I still have the box and paperwork for it in my old room at my parents house but I’m not making ...

Decoy Terminal Tackle

Anyone use their stuff and can give me some feedback?

Getting leery of my trusted Gammy drop shot hooks and looking to try something new. TW has the Decoy brand on sale so I thought I might try them out. However, I can't find any info anywhere oone about them.

Re: Daiwa Presso Value

Assuming Baitcasting Condition? Guessing around $400 for a NIB. Less for used depending on condition. A problem a US seller will have is the price they paid if bought when JPY was beating the tar out of the dollar. Sadly, 37,000 JPY today = $366.67 vs. today's date in 2011 37,000 JPY = $456.18 I bo...
