Did you snap that pic? Man you should have bum rushed him. That little monkey has been following me around picking my pokets. I bet he's the one that stole my wallet.

This schematic will also give you a good idea what goes into the Biomaster

Ok guys, i really have been thinking. Since I need to get some other rod/ reel setups too... and I also need to get a trolling motor/ depth finder for the boat.....I need to lower my price. I think I need something around 125-140$. This will leave me more money to help when buying a spinnerbait com...

And with the newer version you get the SR features. The oversized 3D gear, the SR handle(Stella, and Twinpower only). Go to Shimano Japan online and look at the schematic on the Twin. Very impressive.

I would look into the Twinpower from shimano and the Biomaster. I have 2 Biomasters and havent had a problem with line twisting. Booth are very smooth reels and the drags are the same. Another reel that might be inconsideration would be the quantum PTI for 129ish which ive heard on here to be a gre...

Just e-mail Jun @ Japan tackle and explain the part(what it looks like and some sort of semi-intelligent word for it) to him. He's pretty sharp when it comes to parts. I've done this in the past and he's always nailed it down for me. You don't need to go straight to the manufacturer. Jun can get it ...

Yeah. Pretty much other than spools. What else do you want to mod?

dkk1485. Head over to japantackle. Jun has some cool stuff for the sol.

Weight is big concern of mine which is why I sold my Energy. It was an insanely smooth and beautiful reel, but just to darn heavy. Personally I would trade a little smoothness for all day castability. A friend of mine has the Stradic and it's a great reel, but you may want to look into the Japanese ...

Works great with firefox for us Linux guys.
I was wondering when they would come out with the SR version of the Mg Twinpower. Very cool.

Keep in mind, comparing two rods of equal length and action, if one rod has a full rear grip, full reel seat, and foregrip, and the second rod has a split rear grip, split reel seat, and no foregrip, the second rod is naturally going to be lighter than the first because there is less material on th...

Phippy. how do you like the Biomaster? I was thinking of getting one for my new custom G-Blanks rod I'm having built.

Yeah Vaporzz, I'm pretty stoked. I was thinking of getting a G. Loomis IMX, but I've been hearing that the the G-Blanks are lighter than the GLX so I thought I would see if George would build one to my specs. It will cost more than thier off-the-shelf rods, but alot less than a GLX, or IMX for that ...

I've been talking to Larry and George at G-Blanks about building a new custom rod for me. Here's the list:
Split handle spinning rod on a 6' 6" SHX blank med/fast with a titanium and woven scrim graphite reel seat, and the RECOIL guides at concept spacing.

Smallie. I would hold of for a couple more weeks if I were you. Daiwa is about to drop a bomb with the new 2006 Japan models that look real promising. Take a look at plat tackle for a sneak preview.
