Thanks Gary (Tackle trap) for delivering the latest and the greatest. Perfect transaction and I couldn’t be happier. The rod is an amazing piece it’s so much more than I expected and I expected alot. My first ARMS!

Reel is more important than the rods in BFS fishing. Pixy SPR spool weighs 15 gram stock, and adding 30-40 meters of line is easily going to push it over 20 grams. That is not going to cut it for 1/16 oz. I disagree without the right rod the reel will never reach it’s potential. Apparently it's coo...

Dang Ryan put the reel down please it’s blinding me here down south Louisiana and your way up north in Canada, hahaha! Awesome paint job on a very nice reel. Way to go my friend enjoy!

Gorgeous reel congrats!

SW 103L

I have recently expanded my rounders line up with a few Millionaire’s.

You are very welcome. Glad I could help. That is one sweet looking reel. What rod is it going on? The rods a Phenix custom K2 build from the man himself Chris Short in colloberation with our very own Martin Lo. It’s special to me and the reel fits it like a glove. Marty please give us some details ...

Then there is another black lever which unlocks the side plate and it comes straight out. The bearing is held in place with a tiny wire ring, keep your thu...

NRX 873 wins hands down in 1/2 oz range, 3/4 oz is it’s comfortable limit though.

Speed is great but you can lose some power and smoothness. I like the new Conquest 101HG it has the power, plenty of speed and is as smooth as it gets. What a lethal combo that would be, not to mention the reel is beautiful and built like a tank and will last many lifetimes. A true heirloom to hand ...

893 is an awesome rod just not in the top 10 for 1/2 oz bottom contact, 1/4 & 3/8 is where she shines!
