Re: 2021 steez ags rods

Hi guys, unfortunately the AGS guides of my blue Steez AGS 711MHXB are starting to fall apart and I have talked to Daiwa who asked me to send the rod in for inspection. They also mentioned that I could switch to the equivalent model in the new AGS line up for 45% off the MSRP. From my point of view...

Re: 2021 Antares DC vs 2021 CC HG vs SLP Ryoga for Chatterbaits/Spinnerbaits

I have a conquest 101 HG and a Antares 21 HG and they are both fine reels of course but the Antares gear ratio between the HG and standard are far apart and not what I prefer when it comes to spinnerbaits or even chatterbaits. The conquest 200/201 is the superior reel for those baits IMO. Yeah, I r...

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000

Anybody with hands on experience to compare the JDM and USDM versions? I have the 8.5:1 usdm version and I am wondering if I should get another one or a JDM version. Would use it for 12# fc and senkos. Is there a difference in the two reels for skipping? I personally think that the USDM version wit...

Re: Short Frog Rod (for the kayak)

Update, I got the three rods from TW, aaaaaand... i did not keep any of them. The Buddy Gross was just too much of a broom stick with little to no tip to throw frogs. It felt more like a pitching stick. It was also rather tip heavy. The Wild Side I reall tried hard to keep. The craftsmanship on the ...

Re: Specific noise with my high end Shimanos

Well the two Conquests are not even a month old, so i dont see how it could be the gears. I know a guy whose conquest gears went bad after 1 outing. The pinion bearing was bad out of the box and that let the 2 gears get out of sorts with each other. Those MM gears are VERY intolerant of anything th...
