Sorry, old question. I have a couple 200e5 curado and i want to make 6:1+ gear ratio. What gears can I put into them? And replace only main gear? Thanks in advance.

Thanks! I'll go ahead and give them a try.

Anyone shop at Japan Pro Fishing? Trying to get some decoy hooks that they are one of the few stocking. Thanks for the feedback

For braid using a Palomar, use a double overhand knot to start (twice through the initial loop) then loop over hook or bait. Little tougher to cinch (hint, keep the overhand loop spread while initially cinching) but will not slip which is the criticism with braid and Palomar. I've not had it fail us...

I probably did 40 and still have half to a third left. Not all were full cork but some flip sticks and swim bait rods too. Another question, how long does it last or have to be re applied if ever? Assuming with use it wears?

The. Hook up tackle noted that their experience with Fx2 is that it sinks. Anyone else note this? Also noted there or elsewhere that Sx1 is neutrally buoyant? Thoughts?

Thanks!

Any performance downside to leaving the shields on? And if I leave on, do you have to remove to flush? Seems like the more you remove the more you might damage seals anyways. Sorry for all the questions but that's why I'm asking the experts

Thanks for the answer to my first question. Now looking at ordering some. When I look up by reel model, there's an all curado listing, which I thought all shimano curado were same, but when I look at the old 100b (I have a few in great condition that I'm using for my son who's just starting) they ha...

What's the performance difference between OS and the hybrids? Both abec 7 seems liKe most go OS But WHY? Thanks

Just curious, seems some people don't like them. I personally don't mind them, and past the looks, there's some benefit to not breaking or bending etc. Thoughts? likes, dislikes? problems? or is it just purely personal preference.

Couple of questions. I've also seen it with the braid looped and leader wrapped so what is correct? Also the links by Mundo show two different versions of the knot. The one from stripers online shows what I always thought was the Alberto wraps up and down, but the video from Schmidt shows only wraps...

Where do find the S clips if I may ask? I like that Sterilite type box.

Cal, what did you think of that 736C and the 9" lunker punker? was that rod overmatched? or did it handle that heavy bait (?3ozs?) OK/well?
