Re: Raid Japan Rods
Wonder what happened to the OP. He was on here and BR, then vanished. I thought this disease didn't have a cure :-k Gear enthusiasts come and go for a variety of reasons. Change in priorities, hobbies, income, health, etc. It doesn’t surprise me. Many of the good ones and long time members have ‘va...

Re: Wanees decal kits
The decals may be good on those beater reels with paint chips and dings that look like they have been drug behind a car on a gravel road. A much cheaper alternative to a new paint job or cerakote.
Re: New GLX
to be honest, I kind of like how they went back to the classic black and gold colors. These were the colors of the GLX when it was first introduced. black blank, gold logo, gold trim. So original? Where is the creativity? Yet the price is even higher. You can have a custom built for a fraction of t...
Re: New GLX
Not even the least bit I nterested. These look very boring and modest. I thought the prior generations of GLX were dull but these take the take. I will just hold on to my prior years model

Re: Reel Dress Up Parts?
I have about 70 casting reels. Daiwa, MB, Shimano. All but a few are customized a great deal inside and out. You can get parts about anywhere for the new platforms but the older platforms are tricky. Sometimes i have bought parts from JapanTackle, HH Studios, Tackle Trap, Brooklyn Bills when it was ...

Re: TD-Z Owners Guild
No doubt about it. Often over looked by the newer platforms. This one has an Ian tuned TDZ 105 spool and 8# copoly. It checks all the boxes for me for medium(ish) moving baits. The spool has great control and distance for the few baits I have tested with it the one day this spring I have been able t...

Re: TD-Z Owners Guild
I love this platform and years ago I acquired a few 103H’s. Got out of fishing for a few years and getting back into it. Cleaned up this one, cleaned and flushed bearings, did a Carbontex upgrade, Zaion drag star and Tatula 90mm handle assembly with OG Zillion handle nut, blacked out HH studios ret...

Re: Finding a cracked guide ring
Spinning or casting rod? If it is a spinner could the bail assembly that feeds the line onto the spool be the issue or have a rough spot? Have you tried line from a different spool to rule out a possible bad spool of line?

Re: Who is the MOST over rated ?
There is nothing worse than St Crotch. Absolutely garbage in every way. They have the looks of 70s rods. Trash hook up ratio for their jig rods. I have never lost more fish with any rod. You couldn’t pay me to use anything of theirs. I could care less if it is “Made in the USA”.

Re: Bass Fishing Not Very Popular?
This site has always been about the tackle first and foremost, mainly enthusiasts or upper tier equipment. I wouldn’t consider this site dedicated to bass fishing. It is more just general fishing, diverse fishing from all over the world using nice gear. Bass just happen to be pretty common in most r...
