You can always try Matagi stuff. The painted Mudhole seats are Matagi, so you can save on shipping from Japan. Otherwise, Merrick Tackle should be able to get you colors not available through Mudhole. I've never heard of Merrick Tackle before. I checked out the site, and there goes my hopes of keep...

I talked to a Daiwa guy today at LBF - they are seriously considering bringing the T3 over. They'll know in a month.

I would post some pics If I could I took some with my iPhone! I will try and load them to my lap top then to hear! Still not sure how I like micros! On the delta and clear lake you get stuff like cotton willow floties that stick to braid and make a mess of the reel line guide. That's what i see hap...

Any decent ceramic is going to stand up to braid. On a custom rod, I really don't see the point in doing anything less than an Alconite. And Alconite is just fine for a cranking stick.

You rock! Thanks!

Can someone please post a link to or a scanned .jpg of the Zillion PE Special schematic? There was one on the old TT forums, but with the crash it seems to be gone.

TIA!

I just received an email from Take-san at Ichiban. Everything is OK there: Dear Ichiban Tackle members, Thank you very much for your messages. We would like to thank to all of you care about us. Ichiban tackle office is located near Narita International Airport in Chiba. The earthquake measured a lo...

I sent him a PM earlier today and it is still in my outbox.

His location on his profile is south of Tokyo - toward Nagoya. I hope he's out fishing!

I've had maybe two fish come in hooked on only the long treble. Other than that, there is no real difference.

I just bought a spool of #16 and it feels really good. Fairly low memory. I only got to cast it in the yard a few times. I have no idea if the pros are getting a different recipe...

It is the same price. You might be thinking of Shooter.

Jun and Kayo from Japan Tackle are OK. They have an announcement on the website. Whew!

I'd examine a Seeker blank.

The more people describing Samurai braid the more it reminds me of the old Berkley Whiplash braid. It called whiplash because that's what happens if it wraps around your rod tip. :big grin: It's a soft, and loosely braided line. It looses it's body within a few casts and spool dig'n is very easily ...

This is not good....not good at all...
