Double the cost if purchased from Japan - Luda!

I need one of these travel sticks! I really like their soft baits. The Derange 3.5 is killer for smallies.

I think the TT review is what sold me on this reel and now that it’s landed, I’m impressed. This little tank of a reel feels so solid and is smooth as can be. Hopefully get to use it this weekend

Exactly, small, precision, solid tank, with great performance.

Spool tension and thumb.

But what if I don't want to use my thumb? With both brake settings set to the strongest possible, one shouldn't have to utilize thumb pressure....imo

All my centrifugal Shimanos are like that. Come to think of it all my centrifugal reels are like that. It's just how they are. They are very free at the end of the cast and to cope with this people will often apply spool tension which is just smashing the ends of the spool shaft. Personally I like ...

This is my 1st Shimano reel since they changed braking systems. By no means is it because I have anything against Shimano, my preference has just been Daiwa. I thoroughly enjoy this reel so much, I bought two of them. That's not something I can say about any other reel I've owned. Sure, I have numer...

Nice. The rod brand that started me on this 20 year journey. Last one I owned was from the original Elite Tech Smallmouth series. They served me well until I discovered the dark side.

I was excited after hearing Justin Poe was working with fenwick and the more recent Fenwick Elite's looked pretty good, but can't say I'm satisfied with this update. As pointed out, I'm a jdm styling type of guy and I just can't get behind the styling direction of the new fenwick. But I am curious ...

These new World Class rods are the best looking sticks I've seen from Fenwick. Finally, full length grips, and the casting reel seats look super comfortable. I like that they've put more emphasis on the blanks themselves, and appreciate you talking a bit about the sensitivity and feedback you were f...

Does anyone know when this might become available? Website just says Summer.

Has anybody else noticed that the Sleeper Craw has a Fook Guard?

Weren't there twin Korean Sisters with the same first name, followed by "Yu" and "Mee" on Gold Member?

We're going to see the twins!

I hope these become available in smaller sizes and weights.

Two piece models? Any additional information about these?

I've always felt that Phenix offers some of the best budget blanks in the rod business.

I don't know about the heavier blanks, but the mediums and medium lights I own are superb.
