Re: New Tatula is $100

How does the dial placement feel? Does it rub your finger or have any weird edges you can feel? It depends on how you grip your rod and reel. If you have three fingers in front of the rod trigger like me, you will probably feel the mag dial. If you have two fingers in front of the trigger. you migh...

Re: JIS screw driver set

Another vote for the Vessel #1. I tried some of the others and still had issues getting screws out/stripping but the Vessel has been solid. Was even able to get a stripped screw out with it.

Re: Things You Have NEVER Tried

Fly fishing for me. I acquired a fly rod years ago but just haven't brought myself to fishing it. I did try to practice in the backyard though for a bit so does that count? :lol: Magnum flutter spoons for me too. I've tried Kastmasters a bunch and have never caught anything on them so didn't try. Ne...

Re: If You Sold all Your Fishing Equipment

I would resume raising and breeding freshwater tropical fish. About 35 years ago there were three things going on in my life. Married with children, fishing, and over 3000 gallons of outdoor freshwater aquariums. There wasn't enough time in the day for those things and my job. Something had to go. ...

These looked different at first but they appear to be Tatulas with cooler paint jobs :-k

Re: Studio Composite rods

I also have a For The Beast rod because I wanted a more portable big bait rod and it is appropriately named. When I first unpacked it it looked like a grouper rod :lol: Have only been able to fish it for a few hours since I got it but really enjoyed it. Definitely a cool rod and need to spend more t...

Re: Jackall Revoltage

Received my 73H the other day as I was looking for a frog rod/pitching stick, and my initial thoughts are that Jackall has created a winner, especially for the price. Feels very nice and light in hand, balances well (about an inch in front of the lock nut with a Met 20), and sensitivity is better th...

Re: Still trying to dial in Met 20 JDM casting settings

Set your cc to just remove side to side, put ALL 4 blocks on (this will not make you less manly), set the dial to 4 and adjust down from there. If you can go down to under 2 on the dial, lock 2 brake blocks up, set your dial to 6, and move down from there. Brian. This is how mine are set up, all br...

Yeah, doesn't seem to be much hype about it this year. Looks like some Poison Ultimas are coming Stateside though.

Nice fish and combo! It's been a while since I have seen an ITO out in the wild.
