I thought the same thing. Somewhere between 0.8 and 1.5pe braid would be more appropriate, conventionally.

The only time I touch my mag dial is when it's moved itself from where I set it due to Daiwa's daft placement of the dial, right where my hand rests, so it gets adjusted accidentally.

Looks like a great feature for catching your line on when you get a backlash. Hope it works better than it looks.

Loomis and St Croix both have a talent for producing horrible spinning rod handles. Luckily, you can buy St Croix blanks.

I look forward to someone using the bushing material for trailer bearings, sounds like it would make perfect maintenance free bearings!

How does it cause line twist? Unless the bait itself is spinning I can't see how the presence of propellers would make the line twist.

Good timing!

Pretty sure my Alphas SV had 2 bushings per handle.

Interested to read that you thought that cloudiness FC develops with use is due to sunlight. I always assumed it was the line developing micro fractures as a result of stretching or abrasion.

I have a pair of crocs flip flops that are very comfy, but the insole gets slippery when it's wet. Does the insole of the Simms flip flops grip your foot enough when the shoes are wet?
