So I went up to Banks Lake in perfectly miserable weather to fish for some Smallies and proceeded to catch a few. I was using the LC Fat RC BDS in the Ghost Minnow pattern. After breaking the lip on my 1.5, not the first time I have done that :roll: , I tied on the .5 version and still caught them. ...

FYI, For anyone that doesnt already know: Dont store your JDM baits outdoors in the summer. Japanese lure makers use a thinner plastic than US makers. In the heat the baits will be damaged. I found this out the hard way with several 110's that had the balancers sticking in the tail, middle and/or f...

I have several pixies and one Steez. I love the pixies for their feel. The Steez feels different but still very good. If it matters to you the Steez has a drag that clicks, where as the pixy does not. This can certainly have its advantages. If that is important, then go with the Steez.

I got mine on evilbay. They seem to be a bit harder to come by than the Yellows or Oranges as of late. Keep your eyes peeled and they can be had for a decent price. I will be sending it to DR for his expert touch this winter.

Just curious,.....why would you never put a 4 stroke on a boat? There are lakes over here in Washington that will not allow two stroke motors because of pollution.

Thanks

Great news. I hope he recovers quickly and is able to enjoy life to the fullest.

Pound for pound, I would have to say that the most information given out about the target fish and how they are fishing and what to look for etc would be Lidner's. I agree with the previous statement regarding the religious plug at the end of the show. Roland occasionally gives some good advise but ...

Great guy. I can't believe it. Corresponded with him a week or so ago. He has all my prayers. I hope he gets well soon!!!

Does anyone have any experience with this rod? Is the SB new or has it been offered in the past? It appears to look good for lighter applications but want to hear from those with experience.

Thanks

Jake

Well, I would personally like to see Daiwa have Mr. Ito take a pixy and give it the treatment similar to the TD-Ito. Call it the Pixito perhaps. With this crowd, I would imagine it would sell fast and furious. I would buy a couple just to give my two yellow pixies some more company!

I have the Kistler Glass/Graphite crankbait rod and I am looking to add another crankbait rod. How does the Shiryu compare for those that have used both. I find the Kistler rod a bit too floppy/loose. I was almost looking for something a bit more stiff as it felt like I was missing hits. Would the S...

I tried the TD Ito out on Saturday. I had her rigged with a drop shot and then also with a weightless Senko and the reel performed great. I am happy and will now do some comparisons between the Ito and the Steeze.

Jake

I will consider myself lucky. I received my reel that was supposedly 9+ and it is. Mechanically very sound and smooth and there is one very small nick in the paint (smaller than a pin head) on the top where your thumb would lay across. I was really stressed but it appears to have worked out. Any pro...

... she told me that when she wanted to hear my opinion, she'd b-slap it out of me. :lol: Man I needed a good laugh this morning. Bad day at work and I have only been here and hour. THX Last Saturday I pulled/sprained my wrist loading my boat on the trailer and now it is weak and achy when bent bac...

Do these reels have a click drag or click spool adjust. knob like the steeze or are they more like the pixy in terms of adjustments?

THX
