https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/13_Fishing_Defy_Black_Crankbait_Casting_Rods/descpage-CRHDF.html I like the 7'4" and use it for any moving bait. The lure range is 1/4oz to 1 1/2oz, and it handles the whole range well. Good stuff right there and lots of excellent user reviews. And they're cheap, $80...

Unfortunately my Scorpion/Expride combo was stolen off the beach while fishing at sunset

Damn!!! I hate thieves.

I use Wiha brand mostly. #1 Phillips, Torx T6, T9 and I think T8. I don't have a 14K in front of me to double check at the moment. You will need a #0 or #00 Phillips for the small screw that is internal for the rear protector. We use a .89mm hex to pull the rubber plug on the body to gain access to...

Why? A skipping bait will typically rapidly decelerate and free casting nature of centrifugal brake th...

Why?

My new most versatile rod choice is the 13 Fishing Defy Black Crankbait Casting Rod 7'4". It is rated for 1/4oz to 1 1/2oz, and handles anything from 3/16oz T rigs to big topwaters. Its a composite crankbait rod, so it has a med action, with a soft enough tip to throw lighter baits, but flexes deepe...

With the quality control of these shovelware brands, imagine the issues you'll be having with their digital chip.

Time will tell.

Nice! Why didn't you lip it?

Yeah I think the biggest issue is the JDM exclusivity... I am not sure, but I think the app doesn't have an English version and has other specifics that wouldn't translate well in other countries. If this was sold in the US, the price would be $1399.99 :laugh1: :shock: :shock: :shock: For that kind...

Is there a search feature for the reviews?

Right hand side of the site... scroll down below the ads. Box that says "google" with radio buttons for Web or TackleTour. Click the TackleTour option to search for reviews.

Thanks again.
I just tried it and it worked!

Thank you Cal.
I searched the reviews and couldn't find it.

Has TT done a landing net review yet?

I'm too old to have another kid just so I can sell it and buy that reel!
