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

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...

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.

Re: PB Rat Lights It Up With a Little Slosh and a Lot of Boils

The lighter wi...
