Is there going to be much difference between these and the Elite Evo minimax Tackle Warehouse just announced as an exclusive? Yes. The Baby Jack seems like a more finesse, lighter hooked version, using a 3/0 Decoy hook. The TW Exclusive Evo Mini Max has a BKK hook that says to be heavier wire than ...

It said smaller than the 100, and at least from what I can tell, the new 100HG is identical to this 30. Did you read the entire article? I have since. Just jumped the gun when I read that first part. I own both the 100HG and 30HG, never measured and just assumed they were the same. That is a really...

On your final plus and minuses of the reel, did you mean that it is slightly smaller than the 50? It said smaller than the 100, and at least from what I can tell, the new 100HG is identical to this 30. Also did by any chance ya'll have issues adjusting the brake pipe?

If I get one, I will be using 7lb FC. Might even step down to 6lb or 5lb. I am just hoping the aluminum gears hold up well. Time will tell if the 2021 teir 1 micro brass gears will fit in the BFS model, or if it is even necessary.

Might have missed it, but I am wondering if the reel can function when the battery is dead. Is there any braking at all? Would be nice if they make a non-electronic version that could spool swap with this one. Again, I have no idea what is coming or what is even possible so just thoughts. I just hop...

I feel bad to always call them out on this, but the P2 bearing supported pinion is off. It has single support. When engaged a bearing from the spool supports the pinion too. They are calling this dual support, but I am pretty sure most reels already do this. Shimano's X-Ship would actually have 3 b...

I will start doing this too before an order. I will make a cart, clear it out, then use the TackleTour link to TW and redo the order from there. Would be glad to help out the website a bit... Why do it twice? Just access TW from the links on this site and you''re good to go. Cause I always keep a T...

Deformity is the measure of how much the line remains stretched after the load is removed. Deformity is an underrated statistic. Obviously braid does best in this aspect, would assume fluorocarbon or certain mono/copolymers are worst. I notice some of the better, thicker, stiffer fluorocarbons scor...

Nice job, HWK! Thank you. I got a lot of info from this forum and the main site. Glad to be able to share some of the BFS knowledge I acquired over the last 10 plus years. More articles to come. Great job, good stuff. I like doing reviews on here and still keep my fingers crossed I can find my way ...

I know this is a bit late, but I got confused reading this review. Everything was great as always, but I am confused by the 13+1 bearing count... Where is the 14th bearing at? I know this much: 2 per knob (4 total), 2 main shaft, 2 pinion, 2 spool, 2 levelwind, and one roller bearing. That is 13 an...

Their Quattro camo fluoro is even better. One of the lines I push hardest to others. It is a bit thick compared to others, but the 10lb works great in the place of 12lb other brands (like InvizX or Sniper). I have also used the 12lb in situations where I would normally use 15lb for jigs, chatters, m...

Good review, I looked and looked to try and find more about their P2 bearing support. From what I found, it isn't quite the same as Shimano's X-ship or Daiwa's Free Floating spool design. For Shimano/Daiwa, the pinion is on 2 exclusive bearings and the spool is on 2. For Lew's, there are still 3 tot...
