Quantum Icon PT
I know there are a few members here that have them. I snagged one on a Ebay bid, and for only $44. Lol. I figured why not, since I like the Smoke Speed Freak I have. I've read some online reviews that seem to be mixed, but for what I paid, I cant complain, even if I dont like it. If you have one and...

Re: Have you added a drone to your tackle kit?
Have people become too lazy to cast?

Re: Your favorite obscure reels
Ive been really enjoying my Lews Tournament MB. Dual braking, and brass gearing. Its really smooth, and casts great. 2 pins on, and set the magnetic braking to 4, and it will sling with a flick of the wrist. Tiny like my Shimano 50E series too. I just added a carbon fiber handle that was donated by ...

Re: Switching Combos
I have an assortment of rods and reels, but usually only take 5 or 6 with me at a time when I go out. I have a few rigs that are "specialized", otherwise I grab a reel and pick a rod to pair it with depending on what my fishing is gonna be like that day.

Re: Daiwa Project T 2020
Do the US Pros beat around the bush avoiding talking about the reel or is it random footage they just had lying around 🤷🏻♂️ This video was made for Japan, not the US. The American guys are just in it because of the facial recognition factor. US tourney guys are like full-on celebrities over there....

Re: Flip Pitch Punch Reel
Take hand off handle. The roller clutch will keep the spool pinned with the drag.

Re: Scorpion MGL
Really makes me wonder what people are doing to their reels to cause this. I use nothing but 50 sized reels in the salt and catch plenty of big fish(jacks, striper, redfish) and never have an issue with my gear. My Stiles are based on Curado 70, with brass gears from a 70, and they have been bullet...

Re: Daiwa Project T 2020
Between the boring looks, and TWS, I've stopped even looking at Daiwa as a possible purchase.

Re: Anyone got an SLX XT coming?
I got the SLX XT in the mail the other day, and the rod that completes the combo deal yesterday. The 6'10 rod balances very well with the reel. The XT reel is very smooth feeling out the box. I decided I'm not gonna touch the reel yet until I actually fish it bone stock first. The Wife and I are gon...

Re: Anyone got an SLX XT coming?
Since 2 of my friends liked my SLX reels soo much, I lost them both. I took advantage of American Legacy SLX XT reel/SLX rod combo for $149.99, and now have an SLX XT HG on the way. I will fish this one stock before I do anything to it. I want to see what it's like out the box. Well, I may change o...

Yep, careful what you buy. I have been running HawgTech for quite some time. Knowing the guys personally, I know the source of them.

Re: Curado 70 discontinued?
Nevermind, Im talking about Shimano bringing the SLX MGL to the states and basically wiping the need for the CU70/71, and you keep telling me the difference of the 150 and the CU70/71. So neither one of us are understanding each other. I know you are more of a USDM person. But, if Shimano USA brough...
