Fuego not fully engaging after the cast.
I've got a Fuego that I love, hopefully not to death. When I depress the thumb bar and cast, all is good. Turn the handle to engage it and the thumb bar goes back up 90% of the way and there's some clicking, it obviously not fully engaging. What is the typical cause for this? Anyone?

Re: sammy 128 rod suggestions
I use a Phenix Recon2 715 for big top waters (5" Lunker Punker, Super Spooks, both sizes of Buzzjets). It's a great "fast moderate fast" taper that works well for what you are looking to do.

Do Okuma handles work on other brands?

Daiwa Tatula 701MLRB, who's using one?
I've got a great chance to get this rod at a great price from a local shop. I've read some of the threads on this rod but there is not a lot of actual reviews/impressions. What are you guys finding for its sweet spot for bait weights? Thanks all.

Re: lamiglas excel 2 rods
I have the 735 model and fished it all day last Saturday. Rigged up with a Citica E and 20lb Abrazx, I was tossing a 6" weedless Hudd and loving it. The rod itself is nice, color/lookswise it is beautiful. Balances with a 7.75-8ish ounce reel (Citica, T3B and Zillion). Very comfortable with the prev...
Re: Regret...
I've got a 6.3:1 T3B HL, only taken out of the box to spool up and add level wind and drive shaft bearings. PM me if you want to work out something. I've already got another 6.3 & an 8:1. Let me know.Afrayedknot wrote:Yeswebertime wrote: You a lefty?
Re: Regret...
Anyone else ever regret a reel purchase? RIght now I am seriously regretting buying a t3 ballistic over the weekend with the mindset that I could upgrade it and tinker around. I now realize that the t3 has everything that I wanted already included for only $80 more. The t3's spool RCS 1016 alone co...

Lews replacement handle question
The Lews alloy and carbon handles both say Right Hand only. Is this the case or are there lefty versions? I can't see how they won't work on a lefty.

Is there a difference between the red spool on the Ballistic XS (red) & the gun metal ones on the HS & H?

Re: Curado Being Discontinued??
Bass Pro's big catalog also does not include all the items that they carry, it's now more of a tool designed to drive people to the website. I/we all know something is coming regarding the Curado, but I doubt the BPS catalog is indicitive of it being cut. To me killing the Curado name/model would be...

Re: black conquest/calcutta anodizing?
Check your local yellowpages for coatings / annodising. Many local locations are capable, with annodising cleaning and prep work are REALLY important.
