Re: It's Been a Minute

You have been holding out on us all along but I am glad you came to your senses! This stuff is all epic. The rareness, the condition, the thought that went into the pairings, the color coordination, etc! That Mr B. Fella...I tell ya he can build a rod or two like no ones business! I just may have o...

Re: It's Been a Minute

Nice gear. Really nice. I'm very curious as to how the ZPI and monoblock perform and if there was any mods done to make them compatible. I read on another thread that the PG isn't compatible with the CV-Z but the 001M was compatible (inductor length was the variable). Thanks, Andrew Hi Andrew. Ian ...

It's Been a Minute

It's been a minute since I've posted in the "Show and Tell" section of the forum.. So, I thought I'd share some of my collection. Enjoy!

Re: What happen to the Z hype?

To the OP: I'll try and give my honest answer here as I was sincerely intrigued by this new reel with "never before utilized groundbreaking technology that casts to the moon and is perfectly silent which took many years to perfect." -- or something along those lines... For me, it was the price tag.....

Re: Your 3 go to/favorite baits, and three you hate?

I just don't get the finess thing. I would rather fish all day for one big bite. It's not for everyone, but sometimes it's the deal. Lot's of tournaments get won on finesse rigs. The guy throwing a t-rig or frog goes home early and empty-handed and the guy throwing a drop shot cashes $100,000 check.

Re: Megabass fmj vs valdiva

I don't have the XXPP, but everything I've heard is that it is an absolutely fantastic frog rod. In general..If I needed a frog rod and a bottom contact stick and I was picking 1 Orochi XX and 1 USDM Destroyer...I would choose the USDM Destroyer for my bottom contact duties. Not to say that the Oroc...

Re: Advice for a 1/2oz jig rod and some long-winded musings.
