Re: Jig skirt collar rubber holder

Or tie it on with some old braid if you don't want to replace the rubber collar (braid is the easier option for me but I've done both).

Re: Alphas air or SS SV103

Got curious and looked around for some SS SV reels on the JDM sites and noticed there is an 8.1 option on the original, sorry for the mis-information in my previous post. Now I'm less confident the one I ordered will come with brass gears, but I'll know for sure later this week. As mentioned previou...

Re: Alphas air or SS SV103

I have an SV Light Ltd TN on the way, should be here in a couple of days. I’ve never tried an SS SV variant so thought I’d go for this one – it sure looks nice. From what I can gather using Cal’s SS SV review from a couple of years ago and what I can find on the SV Ltd, this reel most likely has a M...

Jun Sonoda's report from the Yokohama show says the spools are not compatible.

Re: Advice on selling used reels

How have you successfully sold used reels? My situation is that I have two Shimano Calcutta TE 101GT's that I am not using. Life/circumstance has caused me to not need them now. I believe that TT rules are you need 100 post before you can list them on the site. I don't meet this qualification. My p...

Rakuten not Shipping Overseas?

I am perusing the Rakuten shops and get a banner saying they can not ship overseas so are currently not accepting overseas orders.

Is anyone else getting this? Does anyone know what's up?

Re: Uh oh, Met dc or Steez SV?

We can get better idea if someone has the spools and weigh them. I know that G1 Duralumin is the material used by KTF as well as Daiwa (they seem to be very connected) and it is very light material. I wish that SV105 spool is easier fit into the T3 platform. I have some of the spools you guys are t...

Re: Funny Illinois Holiday Greeting

Great card, thanks for sharing. I have lived in Illinois for 35 years (I am a transplanted South Carolina boy) so I think I can make this observation: How many states can make the claim, as we could a couple of years ago, that we have TWO former governors in Federal prisons? This has to be some sort...

Re: Livre Feather 90 for TDZ?

Should be fine. I just threw one on a TDZ special order and it fit OK. The drag tightened down and the star had good clearance, spool turned smoothly. There is a slight gap between the handle and the top of the star which I think would be fine if you use that extra washer/spacer that comes with the ...

Any idea on where I can get one for $160? I'd like to try to buy it new.

Re: springcreek : Feedback Request Topic

Just finished a flawless transaction with springcreek. Prompt communicator and shipper, fair price, and reel arrived packaged very carefully and exactly as described. I would not hesitate to buy from him again.

Re: Phiten : Feedback Request Topic

Just bought a couple of older model Daiko rods from Phiten. The rods arrived well packed and in excellent condition, exactly as described in our emails back and forth.

Great seller, buy with confidence.
