Re: 3:16 freestyle 5" bluegill

slowsink.
customize sink rate by using different hooks and split ring sizes/styles.
too much added weight on a floating gill impedes the action.
and i use 20# big game

Avail Drag Star and Antares HG compatibility

thinking of picking up an Avail Drag Star for my Antares HG. does anyone know if it'll fit?
purpose being, im looking to pick up a silver carbon Semper Fi handle. in exchanging emails, the guys over at SFT stated that the silver handle is not compatible with the Ant's stock drag star.
thanks!

Re: new to me Antares HG

that's a rod that I just got done wrapping recently. it was built on a castaway blank.
the handle came with the reel. 102mm think?

studio composite knobs/semper fi swept handles

I'm looking to upgrade handles on a couple of my reels - Antares HG, Z2020. I've been looking at the studio composite carbon knobs along with the semper fi handles. which handle posts should I get for those knobs? what other parts would I need to ensure a nice fit? ie. collars, shims, etc.
thanks

Re: Broke MHX blank finding spine

no need to locate a spine(spline). build on the straightest axis.
spines dont mean a thing when the line wants to travel to the lowest part of the guide

Re: k2 tx-713ml questions
