Re: Bantam A Wrong Handle
You can call our customer service at 877-577-0600 to handle the return. Thanks. I was looking forward to a reply from you. Could you confirm for me if the XG has a 96mm or just a 90mm? Either way it's out of stock for a while... I don't have the new Bantam A XG model, but the old MGL XG has 90 mm h...

Re: Abu Garcia's BFS Flex : The Revo Ultracast BF8
Well I'm glad I'm not the only one secretly using a spinning reel seat with a baitcasting reel mounted.
There's something about palming without a trigger that so much better.

Re: Metanium MGL drag ajustment
Probably, my Bantam MGL, Chronarch MGL, and Curado BFS all have more drag pressure with the star drag at minimum. Might be the Cross Carbon Drag system.

Re: What happened to Shimano’s quality control?
I wouldn't use super glue and really depends on how the guides are loosen. A drop of superglue isn't much and probably fix the loosen noisy guide. If the underlying issue actually is a long crack where you actually see discoloration under the epoxy. You need to find a flexible glue type. More like v...

Re: What happened to Shimano’s quality control?
What happens when a rod goes clicking on the cast is usually when a rod has been flex to the point where the epoxy on the line guides has cracked. The threads are still holding the foot of the line guides but the epoxy bonding may no longer be fully bonded. While the line guide still remains in plac...

Re: Shake Rattle and Sting'em with Salmo's Rattlin' Sting Jerkbait
I really like the original Salmo Sting that came in both floating and suspending versions. Simple designs but worked great for river fishing, especially when the walleyes are running in shallow water where jerkbaits come into play when casting from shore. This newer version looks better than the old...

Re: Curado 70 discontinued?
I don't think there are new ice fishing products. If that was the case we would have released them by now for the ice fishing season. Well the clearance CU70 is about the best ice fishing bait casting reel in application for the price. I understand there's no target market for it, except for me. :b...

Re: Curado 70 discontinued?
Shimano just needs to use it's power to sell a bait casting ice fishing set up.
The SLX with a shallow MGL spool and a shorty 32" - 36" Medium Light or even a Light bait casting set up.
Since we ain't casting anything, it just needs maybe some magnetic brakes or maybe none at all.
