the closest is probably the orochi xx or levante enforcer, i havent handled them but on paper the specs are similar.
Thank you, I'll take a look.

Anything similar to the F4-74XS BRIGAND

What rods are comparable to the Megabass F4-74XS BRIGAND? Anything with similar action and lure rating?

Re: Ktf steez/alphas Air 28mm

I don't have experience with 28 mm KTF spool, but I do have 30 mm KTF spool. That spool is amazing good, long casting spool, but it is ridiculous expensive. For 28 mm I would purchase (KTF made) normally priced standard Alphas Air spool instead of KTF spool. Yeah most of the ktf stuff is expensive ...

Ktf steez/alphas Air 28mm

Anyone have experience with the Silver Creek air TW or GekkaBijin AIR TW and the 28mm ktf finesse spool?

Just curious how it compares to the stock spool in either of the reels above.

Thanks

Re: **Had me a Lando Calrissian moment this afternoon**

Gone Phishin, big thanks dude! Very humbling for sure. Check this little nugget out the Switchblade made it 8-) Notes to follow :big grin: Gone Phishin, it comes in at 2.5oz and 6.5", wake bait. Super thin profile I will assume that's where it gets its namesake it is like a blade. Reminds me if of ...

Re: Daiwa Silver Creek Glass Progressive

Here is an initial review video of the 51LB-G. More versatile than I initially thought. I also got it out on the water today. You will see in a future video but, good overall impressions. Crisp casting, easy loading without being bogged down. Casts 2gr okay and heavier weight like a dream. 4gr was ...

Re: Daiwa Silver Creek Glass Progressive

First, I'll start with the bad news, I got skunked Sunday morning on the maiden trip with the GP. I wasn't really actively trying to hook fish but get a feel for the rod in general. I tried flip casting, backhand, overhead, roll casting, and side arm, what a fine rod! Even though Daiwa doesn't list...

Re: MC Finetail Stream Glass rods

Just got the 4'10" casting rod delivered today. No time on the water yet but the rod feels like exactly what I was looking for. Definitely a slower less responsive blank than the carbon version in a good way. Should really help to load up with those 3-4g lures on short casts. Can't wait to get it o...

Re: 34mm Mag Z Boost Spool Now Available

It is available in a few colors.... https://www.digitaka.com/items/4/12/99/SV+BOOST+1000+G1 That’s the SV boost. This is Mag Z boost. Is this the same spool that's in the zillion 1000 hd? That’s a good question. It’s kind of weird they colored it up HLC style instead of it just being the same black...

Goldrod,

Where did you find the gunmetal tension cap that clears the drag star? It’s the last piece I need for my own project.
Looks like it came from a Daiwa Aird Red Tune
