Re: New Antares

Weight is such an overblown factor with fishing reels. As long as it palms well thats what matters. Exactly. Too many nerds on here that spend more time looking at reel specs than actually fishing. A feather lite reel that is shelled out, needs new gears after one season is a reel not worth owning....

Re: New Antares

What do you not like about it WEIGHT. The reason I won’t purchase, it palms great though. A $500 reel at almost 8oz is the deal breaker. mid 6oz, I’d for sure have one. Imo, I think it’s the best baitcast released this yr Thank you for your honesty and perspective. I never knew it weighed so so so ...

Re: SV103XS Spool Upgrades but what next

What mods have you made to your SV103xs? I added a red ZLN SV TW CC caps and red highlites from the Zillion OG. Also made mine click with addition of the click spring mod I've posted. I swapped out the spool from an ZLN SV TW(G1 1016) for medium to heavy jigs and love it in my right hander. Also ha...

Re: TD-Z Owners Guild

I can't say how many times i've been through this thread looking at reels and getting ideas. Im thinking about a 1010 spool in a newly acquired TDZ because I don't have a star drag the same color as my ZPI PG spool that is in the reel as I type this.. I have not even casted the reel as of yet. I lik...

Re: YGK's Tour Grade FC Has Soul

](*,) You got me. I just skimmed through and when I saw the reel I was waiting for a separate review I’ll read on lunch break The “reel” question is how did that millionaire perform and what rod did you pair with it? If you actually read the review, it states which rod that Millionaire is paired wit...

Re: Millionaire CT SV

I'd love to hear input from anyone who's fished this reel. Specifically - I'm currently throwing frogs, senkos, jigs (nothing too light... Probably 1/8 oz on up to 5/8 oz) on a couple of Luna 103s with 1016 RCS spools. 30 lb Power Pro usually. Wondering if that SV spool would hinder my casting dist...

SV103XS Spool Upgrades but what next

In my mind it was all perfect but in reality I’ve backed into a Corner. I have three sx103xs reels A-Steez HLC spool X7 EMTF B-Gigas 105 shallow spool ( I’m told it’s great for pitching) C-G1 PE spool ( have intentions on making it a frog or toad reel) Are there worm gear bearings to be added? Any o...

Re: Nrx/conquest finesse rod

Does the 803c fall into the category of finesse rod ? The 802 could be termed a finesse stick, but the 803 has a good strong backbone. It may be ok for "power finesse", i.e. 1/4 oz and up. Thanks, I like the rod esp with the ss sv reel, I have a GLX but I'm sure more expensive rods bring more to th...
