Re: Anyone tried DIY spools? $29-$40 BFS spools!

Just got my spool in today and I got to say it cast 110+1 jr with ease.... easier than the alpha 800s spool. It will be my 3/8 oz jerkbait reel.

Re: Steez Harrier and Steez Top Gun

I have the machine gun cast type 1, 2, 3 and like all three of them. Im sure those are some nice rods as well. How is the type 2 specifically? I was interested in this due to length for cover scats. Is it good for soft plastics and light jigs? It seems to be marketed more towards spinnerbaits/wire ...

I like the alpha reel, so I have several of them. I paired a few 8lb samurai hidden fluro on them and I can cast around 50 yards with a megabass ito shiner.
Forgot to mentioned that I tightened the tensioner a bit and my brakes is set on 5

Re: Toray graphite

A few months ago I ordered the black raven from japanlureshop but backed out of it and have been regretting since. BUT I finally found 1 available again at samuraitackle and jump right on it. That site does cost more than japanlureshop but the rod is very hard to find so I bought it. If anyone is in...

Re: What’s your dream spinning setup to have ready?

My 3000 exist reel came in last week but havent got the chance to use it yet. But it will be paired with the steez 7'6 ags :D
So mine would be:

Daiwa exist 3000D
Daiwa steez 7'6 ags (the one)

Really though, i plan to try everything on it.

Re: Where are the shimanos?

Rod blank is a Juicy Beaver MK2. I believe designed after Gloomis GLX F904 4wt fly rod. Rod is used for 1/32-1/16 mini jigs for trout. So far best rod I have used for that technique. The grips I designed and call them Stealth Grips. Tennessee Style split grips made of carbon fiber, ultra light, add...

Re: Aldebaran 2022 bfs

I prefer the XG for bottom contact lures, especially for river smallmouth. The IPT difference is approximately 28" vs 32" on the 2022 version. https://fish.shimano.com/ja-JP/product/reel/baitlurecasting/a075f00003t47foqab.html#Specifications I finally was able to find a right hand version, for unde...

Re: I require red

Nice, I’m loving the drag clickers on the Zillions. Is it as smooth as the new Zillion? I’d really like to get another dock skipper that’s smoother than my 2017 Tatula SV. The 2017 Tat SV is almost impossible to backlash but feels super geary after converting over to the Zillions. If you like the z...

That Salamandura looks sweet. That is what that is correct?
That's correct... I also mentioned in the other post that I found out it also came with a drag clicker.
