Re: Anyone have some time on the new Alphas 800
Adding drag pressure could be done with adding a larger surface area drag washer as stated above or a larger drag star to tighten things down a bit more but I haven't had the need for anymore. I know it's counter-intuitive, but adding surface area to the friction material will not increase your dra...

Re: Casting reel for light duty SmallMouth fishing
As you can see there are lots of options :). Grew up fishing small creeks for smallmouth, and you can't go wrong with either a pixy platform or Alphas platform. For what you're describing, I might avoid the older alphas/sol platform with the V-shaped spool, but anything newer than those will work gr...

Re: How to remove Alphas spool tension threads
I'd buy one of those collars and strip/polish it instead of risking irreparable damage to the reel.

Re: How to remove Alphas spool tension threads
I don't think you can remove that part, but hedgehog and some others used to sell collars to cover the visible part with a different color.

Rod Geeks Blanks
Just received my first two Rod Geeks blanks today, and these will probably be the last. Paid extra for a custom paint option on the butt section and the paint quality is a joke. Both blanks have huge inclusions in the paint, bigger than dust particles, scratches, and there is some sort of residue at...

Re: Idea/Invention
Look at a Rick Clunn STX next to a Megabass 110. That's about how far you should trust a tackle manufacturer. Everyone copies everyone regardless of IP/trademarks/patents. If I remember the story correctly, Megabass sued, won, and the STX was changed just enough to appease the court. Still basically...

Yup (assuming you're talking casting version). Love mine. Use it mostly for soft plastics in streams and rivers for smallmouth.

Re: Phenix x-13 blank custom crankbait
Hi John, I don't have the X13 but did build myself an X12 several years ago and love it. Lighter power than the 13 of course, but it'll throw anything between 3/16 and an ounce shockingly well. Prior to that rod I'd only fished full graphite rods, and I think the slower glass portion of the rod real...
