never to both

The one link I was able to look at was from 2016. Come on guys if you don't like the T-wing that is fine but apparently the problems with it were fixed some time ago. I have seen no new posts of the thing grooving. For me the TWS deal is a non issue I neither love or hate it. I have used braid to l...

There were a couple of topics about the TWS grooving issue with braids. Do a search anid you will see a couple of informative posts. Here is a one of them. http://www.tackletour.net/viewtopic.php?t=72925 The first post was of only using FC line no braid Has it been resolved properly? I own a early ...

how does the balance feel? Using a 6.5oz reel not bad for a 7'5" sub 4oz rod. is it better then the H3 balance? Easily, NRX a tick lighter 2" longer yet better balanced. With a curado 70 on both the balance point is 1/2" closer to reel on the 893. Yea I also found the balance on that H3 model to be...

Quantum Smoke 7' M/F gen 1 casting. I got 2 and if they were still made Id buy more. Light at 3.4oz balances well even with Core 50mg7. Versatile range can throw 1/20 ned rigs up to 3/4oz KVD spinnerbaits or lipless cranks. Its impressed me more than any $200-$300-$400-$500 rod I own.

Taking that weight off will throw the balance up the rod more negating the weight difference.
A heavier balanced combo is better than a lighter unbalanced rig.

You know how with a palomar knot you fold the line over about a foot or so, start there. Then tie a FishNfool knot with 5-6 turns.

6 pound Nanofill will hold to 9 pounds and 8 pound Nanofil to 12 pound knot strength.

The recommended knot lets go right at its rating.

Its always been amazing to me how line reviews can be so polarizing. Guess Im fortunate, but I just dont manage to find all these spools of line w/all these phantom break offs...(Using appropriate diameters that are in good condition of course). Ive had legit issues Nanofil - I just dont get it. Mo...

If when comparing, you are using the diameters as
stated by the manufacturer, you are being mislead.
Their specifications are not accurate. That is my point.

What tool/procedure are you using that is so accurate.
