Re: Don't shoot the messenger...
Why is there a concerted effort of hate? And why is it allowed?
Re: Don't shoot the messenger...
I dont understand anyone getting anything 13fishing over daiwa/shimano/abu/MB. Really don't.

Re: Don't shoot the messenger...
This made me look into their Envy Black 2 rods, would have a hard time dropping over $300 on one of those. The guides are good, and the graphite seems quality (46 TON), but that reel seat... Looks like plastic chrome I see stuck all over trucks driving around here. At that price I would have a hard time not getting a quality Japanese made rod or equivalent St. Croix.
Wonder what this top secret reel will have this time? The Concept Z has been on TW's best seller list and they did seem to sell pretty good. Competition isn't a bad thing, even for those of us who are Daiwa/Shimano only, just drives innovation and offers more to consumers.

Re: Don't shoot the messenger...
Some could argue that they dont understand why anyone would spend more than $100 on a reel or rod.

Sure, the kind of fisherman that fishes once a month on the weekend. Probably the same person that has a $900 cellphone that he "upgrades" every year, but spending over $100 on a reel its "too expensive".LgMouthGambler wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2019 4:22 pmSome could argue that they dont understand why anyone would spend more than $100 on a reel or rod.

Daiwa has the colors as well, and their paint doesn't look like a $9.99 spray can from your local hardware store.

Precisely. Like the old saying goes, "there's an a$$ for every seat".SSS wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2019 1:33 amSure, the kind of fisherman that fishes once a month on the weekend.

I'm just down to being a weekend worrior myself. But, with my limited time I get to go out, I wanna enjoy the finer things. I have $100 reels, all the way up to $400 reels. It all depends on what you are really passionate about.

Re: Don't shoot the messenger...
Hilarious! Just this past weekend I took a member of another forum out fishing and it was just as stated... an $800 phone and a $40 Kastking reel on a Shakespeare $20 rod.
Go figure...
Oh, and he dropped the phone in the water too... cost him $100 to replace with insurance and all... but still swinging away with the cheap stuff for the fish...
Why is there a concerted effort of hate? And why is it allowed?
Re: Don't shoot the messenger...
Saw a post on another well known forum and someone for advise on high end reel. There were about 20 responses and every one told him not to waste his money.
Re: Don't shoot the messenger...
If it's the same forum, try being the one to refute a moderators dumb advise and watch how fast you get a threat to being banned.

Re: Don't shoot the messenger...
Those guys at BR are a bunch of idiots. One of the mods is actually a cool guy, but aside from him, the other 2 mods I knew got kicked off or quit because of the owner, Glenn. I quit that forum over 3 yrs ago, after being temporarily banned from the buy/sell/trade area for "selling too much". I had sold 2 items in the previous 2 months. 3 of his own mods went to bat for me and he lifted the ban the next day, but I called him a Nazi and told him I wouldnt be back. Man, I dont know how that forum is still in existence.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.
