Does anyone else find it interesting that he is sponsored by Megabass but fishes solely Shimano reels?

Mcyl, are you sure that the 13 Reels are made by Banax? There are not many similarities (if any at all) superficially compared to the reels you posted above. Are the internals the same?

They must have decided the rods were too good of a deal at old price.

Nice! Might try these for pike and tiger muskie Hard to find a tough soft bait. Sucks have $25 hudds destroyed with one fish. How much are they going to be on tw? Thanks I don't know about you, but I've never had good luck with large pike/muskie and large soft lures. The fish have such strong tooth...

I'm surprised about the need for a lot of thumbing. Unless I was looking wrong I saw a video on YouTube that a guy appeared to be casting a 3.8 gram lure with no thumb.

Got mine from TW today. I'm just about to pull it apart and add four bearing. Interestingly no bearing on the spool, big change for Daiwa. Don't remember the review talking about it not have the standard Daiwa speed spool design, maybe I missed. I think we all missed that shame on Daiwa [-X I'm sur...

the tatula spool looks wider than all of those others mentioned. as stated in the review, line comes off the top of the spool easier...i think that's why the pitching performance of the shimano E-series was so good. Exactly. How the weight is distributed makes a big deal. A shallow spool will behav...
