Re: REVO LTX BF8

Carlos, I don’t take it as an attack on me. That’s why we are here, to help and pass on knowledge to each other. I have not checked out copycat site but will look them up.

Re: REVO LTX BF8

Go on YouTube and type in the reel name, look for “The Reel Test” this guy does some of the best reviews on tackle, he’s done a few videos on this reel already

Re: Japan lure shop

both digi and jls are great online stores. jls does send you gift with purchase, awesome... both are fast and great to deal with.
i tend to go to digitaka if im only purchasing a reel by itself because of the free shipping on reels.
i have had good experiences with japan tackle and jp angler as well.

shimano does again, thank you

Another satisfied long time customer. I previously posted on here for help with my SECOND HAND Curado 70 brake dial. long story short this reel came to me as partial payment for someone loosing my gear. I ended up sending it in to Shimano knowing that I was completely responsible for repairs needed....

I second this reel, cant beat it. the 200d series is also a good option if you prefer a bigger size reel.

Re: Small Swimbait Rod Choice

if you're open to the idea of a custom built rod take a look at building one on a Phenix X-13 blank. I use mine for the exact same size of baits you're looking to throw. good luck on your decision making, lets us know what you ended up with
