Re: Daiwa SS Air TW
Hard to trust the objectivity of a reviewer if he or she has brand bias. Just sayin’!

Re: Your Path to the Dark Side ...
Another original Scorpion victim. I couldn’t believe how much nicer it cast compared to the reels I used at the time. I became aware of them on the old BFHP forum.

Re: Any Panfish Enthusiast On TackleTour?
Panfish enthusiast here. The last couple years I’ve been doing well dabbling crappies in timber along Mississippi River islands. Jig ‘n plastic has been the go to. This year I’ll involve some bfs pitching to the same covers. That and a concerted effort to locate the ever roaming jumbo perch. The ri...

Re: Fluoro on Gekkabijin
Well I did get to put the Gekkabijin with the Ray's deep spool through its paces yesterday. It cast great with the a X-Rap (1/4 oz?). It was a real real joy to use because both the cast and retrieve were silky smooth. I had 100m of Varivas Bush Trail 6# on the reel. Next time out I'll try some qual...

Re: Conquest BFS 2023
Way to go! Hope things are starting to move.
I looked back at the notice I received the other day and realized it was just an advertisement and anything ordered from Plat will process May 8 (or after).

Re: Fluoro on Gekkabijin
How much did she hold? I use 8lb Tatsu on my Millionaire, put enough backing to where it only holds 50-55 meters. If I could get close to that the Gekka would be fine for 99% of fish I fight... I really don’t have a good answer for you as I didn’t do any sort of useful measuring when I spooled up. ...

Re: Fluoro on Gekkabijin
FWIW my Gekka with the Ray’s spool in the picture above is holding 100 m of the Varivas 6lb. It could easily hold more.

Re: Fluoro on Gekkabijin
My stream trout rods are overflowing, so I decided I have the luxury of morphing my Gekkabijin into a mag bfs rig. I have a dandy St.Croix medium-light rod that never seems to land the perfect reel. Maybe this time! The Ray’s deep spool has been installed and I wasn’t sure what to put on for line. I...
