Double Dutch-Punch Drunk-Panty Danker

...and that's just 1 rod name. Wondering if anyone has any familiarity with this brand? Geecrack. I was just ordering a couple Squarebills of theirs (because they looked pretty dank) and decided to look up the brand. One heck of a rod lineup and sweet lures to boot. How could you go wrong with names...

Steez A and Megabass IS Bearing Size

Does anyone know spool and sideplate bearing size for these 2 reels.

I believe they are both 1150 and 1030, but wanted to make sure.

Re: Megabass Monoblock Grigio Stone - first impressions

MB has a Monoblock HC spool. Don't ask me why, but they are $280. Looks just like a regular MB HC spool that can be had for the bargin price of $180. https://www.eastackle.com/p-8519-megabass-carrozzeria-custom-monoblock-honey-comb-finesse-bait-casting-spool.aspx These are 34mm, what is different di...

Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa

They show the guy holding a sideplate at 1:10. It is some kind of new model sideplate, the dial is all the way at the bottom of it and the sideplate frame is molded around it, it also has a squared of point on it. Looks nothing like anything in production now. They did announce a new Steez rod on th...

Re: Best Japanese 8 strand or better braid.

I was going to post this in my Mail Call Thread a while back, but I was emberrased because of the amount of money I spent on a particular braid in this picture and I wanted some time to test out both of these lines. Although you are looking for a specific PE size and and a particular applicaiton, I ...

Daiwa KTF Versitile Finesse Spool

So a new batch of these spools were supposed to be available early December via Karil's. I emailed them in November to check status, I checked thier website about every other day to see if they were available, always said the same thing under the product "not available until December". Today I check...

Re: the "if you could only buy one BFS rod"

This past year I have been using a variety of Varivas PE lines. Frequenting thier webpage, I saw this rod become available a few months a go. The baitcast version, although targeted for bass fishing, looks suitable for any type of BFS fishing. Rated for zero to 7/16oz I'm thinking my IS79 with a MB ...

Re: Looking for feedback on Abu Garcia Xrossfield rods

I am interested in acquiring both a 2pc 7ft L Fast casting and the same in a spinning rod. I normally would go with Major Craft but I am not looking to drop 200.00ea on new Speedstyles at the moment. I've been looking around and saw Abu's Xrossfield has both but can't seem to find any info on them....

Re: Alphas air stream custom

Is there any spool options that would fit this pickle that would hold +/- 60-70 yards of .235 line? Are there limitations on the sideplate braking profile that would prevent long casts with 5-10 grams with said spool? Considering putting this on a Fenwick Techno GP 74L. (both green, plus it's a nice...

Re: Double-up? Swimbait Rod for SW Snook, Tarpon, etc.?

Very common in Japan to cross match the longer swimbait rods to saltwater use. Especially the longer versions that have a wide lure range (1/2oz to 6oz) and a more moderate taper. Paradox makes an 8'6 and 7'11 that could be used in a wide variety of saltwater applications. That rod lineup in particu...

Re: Premium Collapsible/Telescopic Rods?!

Oh, boy. Here goes. Is there such thing as a high quality, high performance, collapsible/telescopic fishing rod? I know there are premium multi-piece rods out there but I'm not looking for those. Something along the lines of heavier trout rod, 18" max length, packed. If you know of, I'm interested ...
