Re: Underestimated Lures (or Unappreciated)
Laughed and thought of this thread scrolling through TW... They have a Banjo Minnow kit for $40, maybe they are making a comeback or underappreciated??? Lol LMAO. Rapala Floating minnows are very underappreciated in today's world with so many lure options that are floating/sub surface, it is regula...

Re: 22 Aldeberan BFS Line Choice Help
Using 8lb InvizX on mine, holds plenty and casts great. Concerning Sufix, their 6lb is .006"/.14mm and original PowerPro 15lb is .008"/.19mm, so they aren't way off. Sufix is always known as thicker braid. I have used the 6lb and 8lb both for BFS on DIY spools and it was great.

Re: Returning JDM Issues
Still no resolution ya'll. I have been to Walgreens like 4 times. They either say the QR code is invalid or they don't know how to ship or get a label with an account number. Gonna call before driving there today, still hoping for resolution. Is this the Stradic that you had issues with on an earli...

Re: Calcutta Conquest SE
I'm thinking it will be identical frame and gears as the 2021 100HG version. The weights are both at 220g or 7.8oz. This was the opposite case for the BFS version, the weights were different and gear ratios matched the Aldebaran BFS. People assumed Shimano would just use the aluminum micro gears and...

Re: Calcutta Conquest SE
Literally smiling ear to ear right now. I love my 100HG so much, but hate to buy the same reel over and over. Hoping this model has the higher tier micro brass gears.

Returning JDM Issues
Got a potentially defective reel from Japan, seller said all good, and said send it back on their account number, Wal-Greens Fedex department said I needed a QR code. So after about 4 messages I got a QR code and now they say it won't scan. No idea what to do at this point, my JDM retailer has been ...

Re: Underestimated Lures (or Unappreciated)
All great stories and info. Looking back, it took me a while to get into jig fishing. Now I crawl jigs on the river almost the same as plastics like a shaky head worm.
Flukes, whether rigged with a light belly weight or weightless are very underappreciated.

Re: Ticking Sound-Stradic FM
So the retailer said they would take it back, posted them the youtube video where they could hear it. Said I would get a full refund as soon as I send it, question is now, what do I get? I really liked the FM, but it is barely different than the FL to me. Hoping if I grab another I go with the 2500S...

Underestimated Lures (or Unappreciated)
Always love to start a conversation and had some new ammo to do so. Just got a recent JDM order in; mainly lures/terminal this time. The last lure I added to my cart was a Jackhammer Stealth Blade. I have seen mixed reviews on them but needed some 1/2oz bladed jigs to stay down a little better. I go...

Re: Ticking Sound-Stradic FM
I would be close to keeping it. Took it off the rod last night, me and the wife had been testing it in hand. Occasionally I cannot get the reel to make the tick. Other times, it sounds worse than it does in the video and is very persistent. Wife gets the same results, tick comes and goes. I will say...

Re: Ticking Sound-Stradic FM
I just received a JDM Stradic FM (2000 size, 6:1 ratio). It has no ticks, and I can't advise you on that. I do have a question for anyone with the new Stradic FM: Do you find its startup inertia to be greater than you expected? I sure do on mine. My larger (2500 size), years-old Stradic Ci4+ requir...
