The Trained Thumb... soon to be a relic of the past?

never!

Happiness is a sore thumb!

i would like to see the new scorpion dc next to another reel so that i may better understand how big the scorpion dc is, perhaps someone could post a pic of it side by side a core50mg.....

called Reelcolors, they said they wont do a conquest cuz one of the sideplates is a different material than the rest of the reel which means it will turn out darker. asked about all black, he said it might work but still wasn't willing to do it......

ok, that would be fine with me, i could incorporate the silver reel seat with my color scheme. i just want to verify that it would not hinder the rest of the operation???

thinking about getting my conquest anodized with a custom color scheme, does anyone know a good place to have it done in so cal, i live in fontana to be precise. what are the pros and cons of such a decision?

i have two glx spinning rods....would prefer them to be baitcasting rods....is it possible to have a rod builder take them apart and rebuild them as casting rods? without damaging the integrity of the blank? is a spinning glx the same as a casting glx? just has different guides and handles right? ca...

....i know all shimano reels have backplay, i just got my conquest 300 in the mail today, beautiful :D the handle has a lot of backplay when the drag is off, but when i tighten the drag it goes away and returns to the normal acceptable ( :( ) degree of backplay. just wanna double check if this is no...

cool, thanks for the info. ordered a conquest 300 for now but i still want to know, ill keep researching.....

can anyone tell me for sure if the spool from the gold conquest 300 will fit into the calcutta conquest type j 300? i know that the type j reels do not have brakes, but what if you took the svs brake kit off of the 300 spool and put it into the type j? would it work then? sorry if this topic is gett...
