Re: Ready for Deployment, Evergreen International's Combat Rat

Cal,
How does it compare to the original jointed Rago Rat?

Terribly slow this side of the pond, and logs you out every time even after selecting "remember me".
I have both problems now. Could it have something to do with Ad Blocks?

website is slow again

It has been slow for me for the last month+-.
None of the other websites on my computer are slow.

Re: Creature Fever : Big Bite Bait's Hybrid Soft Plastic Craw Tube

Looks like the Larew tubes of the late '90s-early 2000s.

Re: Souped Up : Aftermarket Bolt-On Reel Handles from Gomexus

Great review. I have been stocking their products for the past few months as part of my reel repair business in Australia. Must say the people at Gomexus are great to deal with and very helpful and also very open to criticism where its due. I have converted all but one of my reels to Gomexus handle...

Re: A Stick Without A Name : Megabass's VKC-78H-4

Cal,
Back when two piece rod that had their extensions slip back into the butt section first came out, I used a felt marker to put alignment lines on the rod's two parts, to make it easier to keep them straight when I pulled them out to fish. It worked for years.

Re: Set to Destroy! Okuma’s Hakai Might Just Change How You View the Brand’s Baitcasters Entirely

Hi Mark, Good question, and I'll go back and add this in when I have a chance to shoot some images. The handle knobs are relatively smooth but they do not have bearings, and rely on bushings only. Z Thanks for the quick reply. Do you know if any aftermarket handles with bearings fit these reels?

Do the handle knobs have bearings? My arthritic hands really love knobs with bearings, especially for moving baits.

The bait's shape reminds me of the original Speed Trap.

Cal,
What is the difference in action and sound between the square and V groove jointing?
in this bait, not much difference in action, but the flat joint knocked a little more loudly.
Thanks. I was hoping there was a difference.
