Re: 2024 Metanium DC
Still having a hard time wrapping my head around not having a factory drag clicker in this day and age, I refuse to add a Chinese manufactured part to a JDM masterpiece. Perhaps Sagisi will corner the market with one of his creations. It's a matter of R.O.I. as well for Ryan, mostly the time and ef...

Re: Source for Pinion/Drive Bearings
one of these days if i have the energy and time i’ll make a giant cross reference spread sheet of all daiwa/shimano parts numbers for bearings sizes, what company they’re made by, and any additional notes about said specific bearing. A lot of that information was on the Daiwa Tuning Data Repository...

Re: 2024 Daiwa IMZ TW 200 The Bass IMZ is here
Hard pass for me, as much as I enjoy Daiwa and really love the OG Z2020/Z200. Also, it appears that there is only about 90 minutes of power reserve/700 casts. Here's a copy and paste of my input on the IMZ and comparison and contrast to an electric auto flushing toilet: In regards to electric toilet...

Re: Source for Pinion/Drive Bearings
I just received a very nice TDZ 103ML from Japan...main and pinion gear looks to be very clean and little use (as does the reel). While cranking with various spools, it feels as if the pinion bearings need replacement. I did grease the bearing under the drive shaft, but haven't checked the pinion g...

Re: Source for Pinion/Drive Bearings
Driveshaft bearing and both upper and lower pinion bearings checked out good, and I applied bearing grease to all of them. It might be the gears?

Re: Phenix Spreads Their Wings Into the Line Market with Hydra Braid
Good to know that is seems to be a quality line. I'm always wary when a certain type of company (in this case rod builder) magically develops and brings to market a new product. Did they slap together a PE factory, or are they outsourcing and if so where and with whom? Questions I always like to kn...

Re: Phenix Spreads Their Wings Into the Line Market with Hydra Braid
This is one helluva good quality line. I'm running 30 on my Steez A HLC 6.3 paired with a custom Otterod MHX CB907 for 5/8-1.25 oz moving baits like lipless, topwaters, chatters, wakes, buzzbaits. The 10lb is very thin, excellent body/form, casts great and is strong and quiet. I have it on a Daiwa B...

Re: Bearing oil
My apologies if this goes in a different forum. Wasn’t sure. Wondering what bearing oil are you using for Shimano reels. I used to use yellow rocket fuel but I’m running low. What’s the standard out there currently. Thanks. An oldie but goodie reference chart: http://www.tackletour.net/viewtopic.ph...
