Re: 21 GekkaBijin AIR TW issue

So was it a bad glue job? Malformed plastic piece? What was the diagnosis? It was hard to take off those plastic,(until my friend advice me to use a acetone)so I've broken it. I'm pretty sure,it was just single mistake,and hopefully not happens again. I'm using a bunch of Daiwa reels,and have just ...

Re: 21 GekkaBijin AIR TW issue

I hope you can fix it, assuming nothing is bent or damaged. Maybe even snap the ramp in better and it should flatten out. Hope you let us know when it gets fixed what it was exactly. Good luck! Thanks! I fix it already,take a plastic from Ray's inductor,feeet good,needs just check on the water.

Re: '16 "upgraded" Aldebaran BFS vs '22 Aldebaran BFS

I believe there was a post somewhere about the 16 Aldebaran BFS upgraded with the Conquest BFS gears… Once you go down that path, you realised the 22 Aldebaran has really no noticeable difference lol. How the gear can affect comfort and distance cast? A22 with 29 spool cast better . About alum gear...

Re: Daiwa Silver Creek Glass Progressive

I'm definitely interested. I was looking into that same rod. I almost bit on the 4'6" last year but something was telling me not too. I really prefer a L over UL mostly because of what I throw. Tomorrow around this time I should have something posted. 46 will be fine for my fishing condition... Did...
