Re: Shimano Continues Their Roll : Chronarch CI4+

I am glad the Chronarch has a non clicking brake knob because I feel like I can make micro adjustments. One thing I noticed though was the knob turned too easy so I removed the knob and put a little plumbers thread sealant tape on the threads. Now the knob stays in place much better.

Re: Enigma

A guy on another forum held one and said the rod looks a lot better in person. He said the trim colors are purple and green, not pink and green, on a matte light gray blank. He believes that the white background makes the rods look gaudy.

Re: Anybody know anything about what G. Loomis is teasing?

The rod looks fine to me. A lot better than the Enigma.

Re: Swim Jig Trailers...what are you using?

When I use Little Dippers for a trailer I always cut about a 1/4 inch off the nose. During a steady retrieve the jig has a little side to side wobble.

Re: Low ratio left Curado I

Me personally, I hate when I have to turn the handle slow when using deep cranks . I would rather turn the handle a little faster and easier with a 5:1 ratio reel.

This past fall I caught over 100 bass in 6 hrs. on a wind blown weedy flat. The swim jig is now my go to lure. It's hard for me to put it down and fish a slow bait. For me i...

Re: Which Swim Jig

I use Brovarny's but I am going to try Lethal Weapon's and Yank'em jigs to compare. Both have hand tied skirts and wire keepers also.

Re: New Twinpower

I noticed that the Twinpower doesn't have an anti reverse switch anymore. I bet there will be a new Sustain and Stadic off this platform this year.
