Re: All new steez sv tw
Sounds like the cast cap - spool tension is truly preset. I'd assume that if it were somehow otherwise adjustable, tension lessened, it might get a bit squirrely. I also feel that a slightly loose spool tension is best for skipping, especially with SV braking. Some of the SV equipped reels can be a ...

Re: Anyone purchased from JP Angler lately?
Kazu is great. Never had an issue of any sort. He's even ordered out of stock rods for me.

Re: New Poison Glorious
Thanks Dennis. How would you describe it? What's the taper like?

Re: New Poison Glorious
Are the Excite tips just Shimanos wording for Solid tip, or something different?

Re: Midstrolling
The majority of folks doing this in Japan are using solid tips. Again, it assists with the action and movement of the bait. Plus the upper section of the rod will load up on the cast, as well as the hook set. There isn't a wrong or right answer here. Whatever type of tip you choose, just make sure i...

Re: 25th Anniversary Kistler Helium LTA
Yep, I'm aware as to how blanks are made. Just not sure what you're referring to as machinery - the press itself? The original press used for the OG Helium, graphite layup, blank materials? That's what I said.. the press.. that's the only machinery involved. Layup and material is not machinery. Hmm...

Re: Midstrolling
I'm a bit confused. You're looking to fish up to 3/8 oz on an ultra light / light powered spinning rod? In river current? I enjoy strolling, but with lighter weight. I prefer solid tips for this technique. Lightly shaking the presentation while reeling is accomplished easier imo, plus the softer tip...

Re: 25th Anniversary Kistler Helium LTA
The blank is made from the machinery that produced the original Helium series... a different manufacturer purchased the equipment a while ago and is now producing blanks. Kistler went to them with the original design to have these anniversary blanks made celebrating the original series using the sa...

Daiwa Steez Hurricane (JDM)
Anyone using this rod? I'm really starting to enjoy fishing solid tip sticks. I own the Steez Fire Wolf, also a solid tip model. My Fire Wolf has a regular fast taper, and the Hurricane has a extra fast taper, plus the Hurricane has a slight bit more power. Just curious what people are using it for,...

Re: Things You Have NEVER Tried
No magnum spoons for me, either. Ive never fly fished, but I learned how to use a fly rod in my buddy's back yard. Ive never used a spybait or a ned rig. Dont kill me for this, but I can count on one hand how many times Ive thrown a suspending jerkbait and Ive never thrown a Vision 110. Blasphemy! ...
