Re: Anyone tried DIY spools? $29-$40 BFS spools!
I have a couple of the Amo spools and the bearings scream. Can someone recommend some decent quality bearings that are whisper quiet and also perform well? Don't really want to spend a ton of money. You can use light oil and a dremel to "run in" the bearings at 10,000 rpm for a few seconds at a tim...

Re: Rapala buys Zebco
I think it is very likely that KVD knew this was coming and they wanted to get him switched and new rods and reels made before the announcement. Deals like this take a long time to make, I can't imagine they would not tell their most important salesman. Of course the business world doesn't always m...

Re: Rapala buys Zebco
Do you think they will phase Quantum/Zebco out?

Re: Non-Daiwa guy question
Thank you both for taking the time to reply. I have several Daiwa reels a friend left at my house that are still packed away. I may open one up and play with it, based on what you've said.

Non-Daiwa guy question
I grew up fishing no brakes, and then centrifugal brakes, but I've never fished a Daiwa reel with their magnetic brake spool. Do you still thumb the spool on the cast?

Re: 13 Fishing Defy Black Crankbait Casting Rod 7'4"
Update. My TW rod was delivered two weeks ago. I was impressed right away with how nicely it was finished, plus it is light and balances with very little butt weight. In the garage, the blank had a true moderate action, bending down to the mid point of the blank. I finally got to fish it this last M...

Re: Possible to clean corrosion on gears?
Thanks for the info everyone. I have another Coastal I got for Christmas that I haven't used yet, going to open that one up to check the grease and lube up if needed. Just a question from someone who fished the salt many years ago. Would spraying the innards of a reel with Boeshield cut down on cor...

Re: Revo Premier Generation 2 Question
I got 6 of those Pflueger Patriarchs, and 2 of the Patriarch XTs, all for ~$100 when they were getting discountinued. They still show up on eBay from time to time and are a good investment for bread & butter reels, IMHO. Especially after you service them with good oil and grease, feels like you're ...

Re: What’s the next letter?
My question is, what’s next? Do manufactures continue to extend the range of “X” or is there another letter they can use? What do you think? 🤔 😂 Would be funny if they used ‘Y’. I know I ask myself that very same question every time I see an increased ratio. Y, Grover, Y. :lol: :lol: :lol: https://...
