Re: Next Generation
My response will be limited to developments in spinning reels. Handle knobs --especially in lower-end spinning reels--often have too much side-to-side movement while the handle is turned, resulting in annoying ticks. Bearing installation seems too expensive a fix for some manufacturers, so it would...

Next Generation
Well I was getting ready to make a short trip this morning, and decided to stay in. The wind is 15mph area and my river is on a fall, so I might hit the afternoon run instead. Got me thinking though, what do we expect next? I was cleaning tackle and organizing a bit, to only catch myself wondering, ...

Re: All new steez sv tw
When I had an issue with a zillion a few years back, Japan lure shop sent me an RMA with paid postage back to Japan. I had a replacement zillion in about 2 weeks. Digi took care of me VERY quickly, so did JLS when they sent me the wrong model Conquest. I choose to fix my Conquest SE problem myself ...

Re: Things You Have NEVER Tried
As far as things I've never used, those mentioned Recoil guides would be on there. I know what they are, but not much about them or if they still have a coating or what...???

Re: All new steez sv tw
One thing I would add for anyone who decides to become an early adopter of a brand new design reel buying directly from japan is to wait for like 2-6 months after its released if possible or if you already bought it periodically check the manufacturers website for any notices regarding it. Biggest ...

Re: All new steez sv tw
I had no idea the new Steez had that new pinion design. Is there still a hole in it or is it solid now?

Re: 19 Antares A weight
Not 100% sure, but I know there are some shared Conquest A parts in there. Most of those parts are heavy, say brass gears, so that fractionally adds some more. I want to say I saw a disassembly of an Antares back when they came out and dude commented on how thick the side plates were or something.

Re: 21 Calcutta Conquest 100HG pinion replacement
I sure hope that is a mistake. Especially because the 24 Shallow Edition shares the same pinion. I think the Antares uses the same main and pinion also. same main, different pinion for the antares which is pretty common in shimano reels. for example the 2012 antares maingear has been used in the 20...

Re: Daiwa Tatula MQ LT.
The Zinc gearing is a shame. Seriously, the supposed lesser companies don't even do that. I wanted to get one of the Gekka Bijin spinning reels, but if they share the same zinc gear I am out. This is even after I had a Stradic FM have issues. I would rather have a slight tick sound along with a smoo...

Pretty sure you got a fish in that bag. My version would be a bream in a Wal-Mart bag.
Re: New pixy
I was hoping to see something new. Maybe an entirely new frame with no T-wing. Thing is though, T-wing is kind of Daiwa's feature now, and I am not sure frames will get much smaller than the new Alphas style reels. This is one of the reasons I think we see such small changes with new generations, sc...

Re: Things You Have NEVER Tried
I'd gone for a long time without trying a Carolina rig, then used it like crazy for like 2 years with great luck. This is one of my go-to techniques. I even use them up shallow with a short leader, sort of a stroker rig. The zoom lizard is my all-time favorite soft plastic on a c-rig. I fish dropsh...

Haven't really gotten into the true magnum crankbaits. I have used the big squarebills though, so maybe that counts?
