Re: Show off your bigbait setups!!!

My other combo for the season.
This one will get a lot of use.

Roman Made Centurion Mind "Brea$t" (TT censored its name!)
Shimano Bantam with DRT 100mm Varial handle (yes, I paid MSRP! :lol: )

Re: Show off your bigbait setups!!!

Here's one of swimbait reels, I suppose the Livre handle makes it eligible for Enthusiast status, otherwise it's just your typical mundane Tranx unworthy to be seen in this particular forum. NICE! I'm running a Casino as well for one of my swimbait combos. https://i.postimg.cc/ncscK79y/5-C22-FD8-A-...

Re: DRT baits ?

BTW who knows why the DRT handles and knobs are so expensive? I have never owned one but to me Livre handles are more refined compare to DRT. They are not that much more expenive at MSRP. If you want to change knobs, Livre handles are more expensive. Livre makes DRT handles in case you didn't know ...

Re: DRT baits ?

I really wish they would stop focusing so much on collaborations with shops in Japan and focus more on getting their "standard" colours out there and consistently available. DRT did mention they don't have the resources to keep up with demand and they were looking to remedy it.....hasn't happened ye...

Re: Deep Cranking/Big Bait Combos

Couple of changes to my swimbait reel. No more purple in the HLC.

Re: Deep Cranking/Big Bait Combos

That boobie is a beauty! I've eyed that rod along with some others for some mod/heavy duty work. Couple of questions... -Any indication if it made in Japan? -What is the realistic low end? No indication of where it was made. Haven’t been able to try it yet as we are still iced over up here. I bough...

Re: OROCHI vs Orochi

I was just thinking this....... After a full summer and almost a year with the new XXs being released how are they comparing to the original XXs. I got a ton of flak with comments or observations I made about the new XX vs the JDM XXX.....but that was all from either people who are associated with ...
