+1 on the Owner hooks. Better hookups for me when I use these.

Senko's do the job Great report and great fish. I hope to head up to Ontario sometime

Can't believe I haven't seen this yet!!! Absolutely amazing combo. That ARMS rod....speechless.

Great information that you provided USA-RET. I've been learning more and more from reviews and various user experiences.

I used to swap out rods pretty often, but I've been slowly finalizing what gear that I really like to use. Trying to calm the bait monkey in me.

After 3 years there is no warranty is correct. Megabass however is starting the process to build rod component inventory so within next 3 months you will be able to get guides etc from MB. Short of a catastrophic failure you will have access to parts for local shop to make needed repairs. I was not...

Was wondering if anyone has both and if so, which one would they prefer? I was going to buy the 101 Conquest DC but accidentally discovered that Shimano have just released their new Conquest. judging by the looks and specs - it looks simply amazing and it might be able to hang with the DC in terms ...

I think the fact that you think so much about it will help you take better care of the rod. I think you will be fine :). Thank IAY, I did the pros/cons list and I'm taking the leap into the MB world. I figured 3 years down the road in the worst case scenario, I'd be willing to sell some gear to get...

You have to look at this in another perspective. In Japan, people are expected to take care of your products, and people take responsibility of ownership. Another thing is that you are paying premium price because you are getting a really good product. If you are willing to take good care of it, it...

After 3 years you're basically SOL with Megabass. A broken tip can be repaired by someone local (but such repairs will likey change the rod dynamics since the blank will a bit shorter and stiff at the tip). A mid blank break and you'll have a rod that may or may not be turned into a two piece provi...

So for Megabass rod owners out there, I had a question as a possible future MB rod owner. What happens after the 3 year warranty is over in regards to rod repairs? I know I could get a local builder to repair stuff, but I wonder if it'll be same (especially since MB uses so many proprietary componen...

I promised myself no more reels...But looking at that special edition Conquest is killing me......Beautiful reels. Anybody know how braid does on the new Conquests? Any issues? no problems at all..i used 20lb sx1 with a 12lb flouro leader no issues. i've also spooled with 10lb sniper and no problem...

Found a few threads on Tokyo tackle shops, but has anyone got any experience with getting a guided day on the water? I actually wanted to do some fishing while I was in Tokyo for a week, but I didn't have any luck finding anything. Regardless, you will definitely be glued to the tackle shops while ...
