Very well put Bill. Keep up the good work.

I'll tell you this. I have spoke with Jun through e-mail in the past and he is an excellent person to deal with. He always returns my e-mails within a day or two, but I have to say this about Brooklyn Bill: I ordered a set of cork knobs from him late last night along with a bearing set. Since the be...

really old(11yrs+) Shakespear 5'2" rod and Quantum Xi reel-for rainbow trout.

Love it! Man i wish my 3gal would look like that, but ive got some green algea and brown algea growin in it. Love the button polyps. Do you have any fish in there riht now or are you going to just use it for corals? :lol: Yeah I used to have a diatom problem as well. If you look close at the pictur...

HHHMMMM. 10 points and get a spare spool? Now where did I put the receipt.

Here's my 20L I built last year: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v301/TonyMc/IM000864.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v301/TonyMc/IM000863.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v301/TonyMc/IM000857.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v301/TonyMc/IM000856.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albu...

It's probably an OK reel for it's intended purpose, crappie fishing. Hence the name "slab seeker", but other than that...

Bassmaster. Either way you go with the KIX or the Energy you'll be happy. I have an Energy PTi 40 that I use for pike. Although I'm a Daiwa man I also know a good deal on a good reel when I see one and there's a new Shimano Twinpowers 2500 on ebay for $209.00 right now that might be worth looking at...

As Skeeter said. On the Daiwa side look into the KIX or the Luvias or even the SOL or Fuego. I have a KIX and it's an outstanding reel. It uses the Real four system, same as the Certate, but of course with a few miner differences. :wink: If you want an excellent reel and have money left over for tac...

I think accuracy is relative to what your used to using. I myself like and am accrurate with spinning gear.

Quantum accurist 2.

Good choice on the prodigy. I have a Capricorn which is the same as the prodigy with less bearings and it's an excellent budget reel.

I have one of the new 2006 Compre in a 6' 6" MH paired with a Quantum energy PTi 40 that I use for northern pike. I love this rod for this application. It's light, strong, casts well, and holds up to the weight of the pike. It's rated as having a fast tip, but it seems more moderate to me which is g...

Brunswick. I'm a Daiwa man myself, although I have a couple Shimano and Quantum reels that I love. The new Regal XI is an excellent reel. I bought one for my son and paired it with a Shimano Convergence rod. Seems to be a very nice combo for the money(sub $100). The Regal seems to be very durable an...
