Another surprisi...

Re: Stradic FM 2nd Chance
Hagane means "steel" in Japanese - just a marketing term for metal in Shimano land, just like Ci4 /+ or Magnumlite for PA+30 polyamide when you see it stamped.

Re: Stradic FM 2nd Chance
As much as I love Daiwa (been fishing them mainly for the past like 8 years or so) they frequently make some questionable design choices in general. This becomes an off-topic post, because it's about MagForce/Z/SV - in baitcast, Daiwa's casting brake design is so brilliantly simple and effective in...

Re: Do You still Use Lures that You Bought, When You're a Kid?
As a kid, perhaps 10 years old, I loved to fish. Had no money, no boat, old basic tackle. I used to stare at the beautiful and expensive rapalas, which were out of my reach. The local fishing shop owner, all around nice guy, needed rudd as baitfish for ocean fishing. He offered me a rapala f my cho...

Re: Best Spools for OG Zillions in 2024?
Good afternoon everyone!! I recently acquired an old Zillion Type R. The reel looked rough in the pictures but I figured it was just normal wear and tear on an older reel and i'm a sucker for the old TD-Z/Zillion platforms.
