Yeah that would make you the ultimate weeb

It would be totally worth it for that 1 out of 100 trips when someone notices it.

The 500 sized reel on the 6400 IMX is really a sweetly balanced combo and is wonderful to fish with. I have a 6400 IMX with a 1000 Stradic FJ on it and it is a little heavy, but I kinda like how butt-heavy it is. It took me a while to come around to the 6400, it's a weird little rod but I really li...

Also been using my version of a "Tiny Ika", take a Hula Grub's tails off and rig the body with skirting pointed rear on a #1 or 1/0 and pitch with a 1/8 Tungsten into brush. It's like a tiny tube but a little more slender. I have done this and it works pretty well, I never settled on a good line we...

I would pay like twenty bucks for one just to use it at the grocery store.

I literally just made it up, so hopefully someone who actually knows what they're doing in this matter can weigh in.

Yea, I don't mind having to flush bearings, I have an untrasonic cleaner and was going to run them in there with some acetone, then blow them out with compressed air. I am not even really upset it didnt blow my things off, its still a great feeling reel, I just was shocked how much it feels like th...

I have a RCS 1012 I am going to try in it, but I was hoping to not need to. At this point I cant tell if I feel like the Steez SV TW is over valued or if the sv103 is undervalued. Other then weight, the reels have a near identical feel to me in terms of smoothness and general "damn this thing is nic...

I gotta stop reading TT; https://i.imgur.com/MRwxrFim.jpg I decided to get the Steez but for some reason threw a lowball bid on a NIB Aldebaran, fully expecting to get sniped at the last second. But nope, I won it and got the reel for $250. I only have an hour or so on each, the Alde feels like it i...

I owned both the TV and PP. I sold the TV because it had too much overlap with the PP and though the PP is a heavier stick, it was more versatile imo. The TV just felt really stout and lacking in the tip department. It didn’t load near as nice as the PP did. Almost a broomstick feel to it when comp...

The new model taking its place will be very impressive and cover more of the finesse presentation spectrum. Will still be an excellent choice for dropshot presentations but will be more versatile as well. I have an XX Dropshot and while I do really like it as a DS rod, I am not really digging it fo...

I see Keitech mentioned several times . . . but not its Easy Shiner . Maybe I missed it in another post. I've never used anything with better tail action. I actually prefer to throw mine unweighted where I can run it at various heights in the water column more easily. Nearly weedless, this way, and...

Did I (google) do the math wrong? 8 ounces is not that much heavier than an sv103, right? I really like to pick one up to stick on a Hyuga 72H that I use for swimbaits and a little frogging. I just need to decide if I want to gear ratio to favor one technique or the other, or even split the differen...

https://hypebeast.com/2010/2/bathing-ape-daiwa-fishing-ape http://jdmfishing.com/daiwa/a-fishing-ape-zillion/ Good Lord that's one ugly color. Looks like somebody puked up a Zillion. If you want green, the Cabelas edition is my vote. Hah, I kinda like it. Not enough to spend the money on a real one...

Pretty sure they will have the same handle design as the XXX. Half EVA, half cork.

That's too bad, and seriously dampens my enthusiasm for them. Full cork 4 life.
