It's a matter of numbers unfortunately . Your average fisherman doesn't buy high end fluoro and probably uses the same line all year so he isn't concerned with how deep a spool is. When I sold reels at BPS/Cabelas, I was amazed at how many guys actually want 12-150yds. I assume that it was catalogs ...

This changes things.... Pretty much pulled these from my list. Definitely going to pick a couple up if they feel as good as review says.

I posted my results before of the same lure/rod with a '12 JM Carbonlite reel and also 50E but had 15#pps8s and max cast with 50E was 42' got 45' but accuracy not as good so I have 3 reels that I get nearly the same distance out of. I only posted cause Im quite surprized at how well my pinnacle doe...

Well a video not going to happen so dont believe, dont. Where did 50 some feet come from??? I never said that, I get around 40 feet with fairly good accuracy. Rod 7' Quantum Smoke rod M/F and line 10#pps8s, lure SK bitsy minnow actual weight 0.0823oz, 2.336g With a LTB 6'9"MLXF Im around 36' T...

TT has too many educated members for a rep to keep up...?

from article: "I commented my ability to reach distances of roughly forty feet with a 3g finesse jig on this combo. That was an on-the-water estimate. Back at TT HQ, I tried again for a more quantitative measurement and can confirm distances of closer to thirty feet. This was with all casting ...

Why does daiwa only make 100 size reels in the US market nowadays (besides the pixy)? I want to use daiwa reels for my lighter techniques, but the heavy spools (due to all the line) make it tough to do so. Does anyone know if daiwa will be making 103 or 105 sized reels that are affordable sometime ...

Shimano Caius XG

capesmallie, What does Shim/Loomis say about all the rods? I recently had an issue with a different manufacturer and they never questioned me. Do they give you any info on other customer's situations? I can't imagine they continue to warranty your rods if they thought it was you causing the error ev...

Why is Daiwa transitioning away from the Free Floating Spool in the Tatula, Lexa, Exceler(guessing), Aird, and Laguna reels? I have owned Daiwa since I learned how to use a baitcaster and from the Advantage, TDX, Sol, and on up to the Steez they have all been Free Floating Spools. Is this going to m...

Great review! Hope the some more XX are to follow!

In the review under the Material Strength category Sunline, Sufix, Daiwa, and PowerPro were all mentioned. I am really looking forward to reading how Sunline stacked up to the other braid giants. Hey Cal, I know there is already a review on Toray Finesse Braid, but have you run it through The Machin...
