For the last six months Ive been reading TT and I thought it would be a cold day in H... before I would spend 25.00 0n One lure but I have been bit.So now, how do I keep from launching this high priced toy into orbit I have had a knot problem in the past and have had what I used to consider a high ...

Yes sorry, I was referring to the knobs.

I was puttering around Ebay and found these. Just type in Basszone. They look pretty nice. The thing that struck me as odd is it states with use for both Shimano and Daiwa reels. If anyone has some of these would you post a picture? I'm considering a pair for my new Scorpion 1001 XT. Just looking fo...

I would offer him 175 bucks. It can't hurt to ask! I recall that as the asking price of a few NIB lefties someone had for sale on here 3 or 4 months ago. I wouldn't pay more than 200 for it, but I also couldn't resist upgrading it which would put you north of 300 in a hurry.

Same lure, different colors. Perch and the white one with orange belly and black eyes, hard to find.

Sorry if I offended you, which it obviously seems like did.

.......anyway, nice to hear they are taking care of you. They do have very good customer service.

Yeah I was out of line. Wife's got me all fired up this morning. I'll blame it one her.

It sounds like you installed the handle with the drag star too loose and the handle tightened against the star instead of the shoulder on the shaft. Then when you tighten the handle nut, it locks the star. If you can turn the star tighter, it lets the handle move closer to the reel which then makes...

That would explain it. If a handle collar or extra spacers are needed for this mod, I think Hawgtech should supply it. I understand they don't have all the bugs worked out just yet, and I'm sure they will take care of me. Thanks for the responses guys. Its not Hawgtechs fault, not a bug issue. Its ...

Steve explained it better than I did. Td-Z's and Fuego have the handle collar built in. Once you get a Daiwa handle collar this should solve the problem. You still might need another thin spacer after the handle collar for extra clearance. That would explain it. If a handle collar or extra spacers ...

So I need a collar. Even with the nut cover on, the nut still comes loose.

I don't think its called a handle nut collar, just handle collar. It goes in between the drag star and handle. http://tackletrap.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=660_855&zenid=373bac1a74bc6da014a13db2794693aa Yeah it didn't come with one. That would keep the nut from loosening, but not sure if i...

Look under the "anyone try Airrus rods" post, emplained in detail. Radial is designed for moving baits.

Handle nut collar? Are you referring to the nut cap? The only items that came with the reel are are the nut, nut cover, and nut cover screw.

So I guess the wife saw me looking at the hawgtech website and ordered me a handle for a stocking stuffer. Even though these handles are bulky and wider than I would have liked, its a nice upgrade from the stock handle on a Fuego. Would I buy another?? Not sure.......But if they came out with anoth...

What isn't a fashion industry? Our homes, cars, furniture, clothing. It's rather interesting what we place our values into. At the end of the road, we can't take any of it with us anyway. With that being said, I don't really understand the "point" in your topic. When you shop for whatever do you jus...
