Ohhh man, I dont even want to look.. I already know I've been spending too much on it, and doing an exact accounting over the years would prolly give me a heart attack!

Hi guys, ran into a slight problem swapping the gears between a TDZ103ml and a Steez 103hla, you might have some ideas. I remember reading on the old boards that the gears on these are interchangeable yet when i tried them, I ran into this problem. the smaller drive gear on the steez is turned by a ...

I have never been a believer that FC is "invisible". now, having said that, here in Castaic Lake, CA. try using a shad net made with FC, and one made with Nylon Mono. the difference is astounding! perhaps the bass see differently than shad, perhaps not.

Honestly, do you feel that fluoro is worth the cost now that we know its pros and cons? Honestly. I know alot of guys that swear by it but not one of them has just been dominating tournaments around here. As a matter of fact, most of the guys around here that consistently win bass tournaments local...

I've actually gone the opposite way, shifting to shorter rods. Before, the arsenal comprised mostly of 7 footers and up, and i mainly fished from the shore so the extra distance in casting was nice. but since then, I've moved to slightly shorter rods. 6'6"-7'. I still have a few rods that are over 7...

Keep in mind that fluoro stretches just as much or more than mono/copoly. It just doesn't snap back like a rubber band. It is more like the old Stretch Armstrong I had as a kid. It stretches then slowly recovers. This makes it seem like it has less stretch but it really doesn't. I found this out by...

Cal, how would you compare Sunline Shooter, Toray Super hard upgrade and the Darm, in terms of stretch? I have only tried the shooter so lets put that as our baseline. thanks..

Unless someone knows of a way to upgrade the Steez Drag System to match that of the Type-R perhaps I will change my mind. With the Steez at 5lbs max drag stopping power + carbontex drag upgrade and you are looking at perhaps 6lbs - 8lbs max. Just my opinion. You might want to have that Steez checke...

I've placed an order today for the corrosion resistant worm shaft bearing, (Key #42,part # G46-6201) from the 50th Zillion for my Coastal. I have also ordered the drive gear (Key #52, Part #: G95-7601) and pinion gear (Key #38, Part #: H20-8201) from the 4.9 PA Zillion to slow the retrieve and incr...

I don't get your post ???? U are getting 20-30 ft more on a cast the reel don't backlash, he sent the spools back on time, now U are trying to steal his modification and throw him under the bus on a open forum. WOW 10YDS more on a cast, U don't see that kind of increase in casting with Ceramic bear...

Oh c'mon guys, perhaps its you/us thats gotta open our minds.. not everyone out on the water fishes for the same reason.. thats why you have the 99% of the time dropshot and senko fishermen, and those that fish with nightcrawlers or live bait.. I personally try and stay away from the dropshot and se...

One area you may want to look at is the worm shaft. Regular Zillions, and I believer the Coastal also, do not have a worm shaft bearing. I have a Zillion 50th, and it has a worm shaft bearing. You could get the bearing for it, no need to get a Worm Shaft Holder because there is already one. All you...

Thanks for the suggestion guys..

I might have to try the Tatsu, another friend of mine was recommending it to me.. sure its the same price, but I already know a couple stores that carry them..

Hi guys, as the title suggest, i'm looking for the lowest stretch possible fluorocarbon out there? I've been using Sunline Shooter for the past few years now since i found it to have very minimal stretch (while all other things considered). the TT fluorocarbon shootout corroborated my findings. Now ...

I dont know if they changed anything on the machinegun cast, but ive had the same experience with the new packaging FC sniper a couple years back.. since then, the only Sunline i would buy are the ones with the old packaging. and its getting harder and harder to source.
