The Ultima does have some additional tech built into some of the blanks, not all models. How much of it is just nonsense literature, and how much is actually beneficial in some way I have no idea. Here's the tech differences not found on the Glorious, and most of it is limited to specific models. M4...

Nice. I really like those boxes - good thinking.

Is anyone running either of these spools in the original Steez SV, USDM SV103 or one of the JDM limited models? Curious what the performance might be like.

Sick build
Not sure if you have looked, but Voodoo rods might be a good place to look for future builds. He's pretty good with sourcing as well.

Nobody eh?

Did best with the Shimano World Pop this year. It's a fantastic popper. Casts like a bullet, spits a lot of water, chugs and pops, consistent, flash boost. I think I might even like it better than my OSP Louder. I just watched a few YouTube videos of the Shimano World Pop. It looks and moves pretty...

Interested in both the JDM Hurricane and Badger. I'm assuming that the Badger is the more powerful stick, but the ratings are the same. The Hurricane is an extra fast with a solid tip. The Badger has a variable taper, slow to fast. Anyone know what that means or looks and feels like? Just curious if...

Last Shimano I owned was the 15 Metanium DC. Before that it was the old 50/51 series. This reel has me intrigued. So there are 3 versions of this? The standard higher line capacity, the BFS offering, and this mid depth spool version?

Heck, I mix other soft plastics inside my Geecrack bags. The more stank the better.

Adding the 1010 in a TD-Z to the list. I heard about this one from Hogsticker2. I've had my FX68 1010 spool in a few reels and it was a long bomber in a gen 1 Steez LTD but I had to run the mag dial super high to keep it in control and I always struggled to make short casts with poppers around the ...

That's noted in page 2 on the above link I posted.

Thanks bud

Those of you who are using the Ray's deep spool in your Gekka, are you using the SV or fixed inductor style? Has anyone used both? I'm thinking about getting one to toss light cranks top water, and jerkbaits (3/16 oz ish) on my Evergreen Orion Lightning Strike. I like the consistency of a fixed rot...
