Daiwa introduces new reel.

Claims to upgrade from ‘hyper’ to ‘ultimate’.

Still has ‘hyper’ written on the side plate. Lol

Never change, Daiwa.
Still uses HyperDrive as shown in clip

Re: Sometimes, You Just Can't Win

I dont think you could retrieve a lure fast enough to outrun a fish that really wants to eat it.
What i have found works here, is remove the rear treble, or all trebles, and put an assist hook set on the rear. Fish will attack the trailer and almost all hookups will be solid.

Re: New Zillion Limited

I believe the "limited" part refers to limited numbers available as opposed to a limited edition reel. For the DIYers amongst you, Plat and Japan Tackle, a board supporter, sell the body, without spool, handle and zero adjuster. If you have some parts lyimg around waiting for a home, it will save so...

Re: Hook Package Storage Ideas

Would the Plano Edge Flexible series suit you? Maybe a bit deep, but certainly very adaptable

Cant remember who said it, a pro golfer i think, but the harder i practice, the luckier I get.

Re: Googan Squad makes the best rods

I had a lecturer before, who delighted in inviting the religious folk who doorknocked in his area, to come in for a drink and a chat. He had studied a lot of religious texts and would ask them their religious beliefs, then essentially show them the errors in them. None stayed around long.

Look into some fly rod blanks and possibly cut the bottom to get to the length you want.
Which flyrod blanks correspond to which lure and line class? Thanks
