ShimanoFan's comment that Shimano outsells Daiwa 1000 to 1 has to be the craziest thing I have ever seen on Tackle Tour. Can you prove that? Can you dig up sales statistics and prove it? All I said was it was a guess and NOTHING more just the same as saying Daiwa makes the best low profile reel on ...

And yet here you are, representing and defending your mother ship......on a forum....that's hopeless. I guess you shouldn't be here either of a major reel manufacturer has given up on forums as well, right? Why can't I defend my opinion? No one else is. An old boss told me one time "toot your own h...

Mainstream tackle market context can not be judged based on enthusiast tackle market context. It doesn't work. My opinion is based on what comes through our front door and has nothing to do with the opinions found on some tackle forum filled with enthusiasts representing a small minority in the over...

LMG posts are brash, sure..but he goes out of his way to be helpful. :lol: And I suppose you are also saying I have not been helpful? A person who does it professionally has never helped anyone here. I get it. Shame. This is why executives of a major brand of reels has written off U.S. forums as "h...

I try and watch the lunar tables and I try and go along with them, and to some small degree I have noticed some correlation between them and the fish biting or not... But, in truth, on days said to be 15% out of 100% have actually been more productive than days above 85% out of 100%. So I tend to ag...

You really bring this site down and drive off good people and forum owners should be more careful than this. no, he doesn't. So you think launching personal attacks does not bring down a forum? You just outed yourself as one of them. Supporting a civility rule violator is very telling- so I just ad...

I snagged an old anchor line and pulled up an anchor I still have and use sometimes.

And once I caught a bass that came with a nice Sebile lure still hooked in his mouth. I bet he was glad to be rid of that one as much as I was to have it.

Why do you lie? You are showing everyone here why people like me should not even post on forums like this and you are also showing thousands of other people why they also should choose to not post here when people like you are allowed to do this sort of thing. You really bring this site down and dri...

You sir are a liar. I have not been banned from any other sites. I have given up on other sites because admin does not hold in check people like you. And I recently reached out to admin about you. Tackle tour is suppose to be open to all walks of life and all opinions on tackle. For those who disagr...

People dont hold onto their older Daiwas the way Shimano uses do?! Have you actually read through Tackle Tour?! Oh yeah, that's right, you are just here to troll until you get booted like you have on every other forum you've been on. Times a ticking..... :lol: This is an enthusiast site. The people...

..you end up on a wild tangent about Shimano's superiority(again), taking the thread totally off-topic.... Let me see... a poll with 2 choices originally... a Daiwa, and a Shimano. And I am taking thread off topic in Shimano and is not allowed some how? Seriously? This is laughable man! Get real! T...

Let me elaborate on something I touched upon above but did not explain... And there is no need for Daiwa fans to be defensive for things they can not change... I have been working on reels in Florida since I was a teenager. I am now in mid 50's. So some 30 plus years of working on reels, and now do ...

Judging sales by how many of a certain brand of reels come into a repair shop is actually not a good litmus test. If one sees a ton of all these other brands come into a shop in need of repair, then hardly ever sees a Daiwa, I would think its because Daiwa reels dont ever break or need service. My ...

RedFish are fun!

A friend caught this 58" just days ago on the east coast of Florida...

Bit surprised no one voted for the met mgl. Always thought it was very popular in here. He rigged it! (kidding) :big grin: Just goes to show that forums do not match the overall national tackle market. Reality and forums are miles apart! For example, here you find most people who post are enthusias...
