some monoblock appreciation
Re: Monoblock Appreciation Society.
I could handle actually fishing the thumb bar, doesn't seem like an issue, but how do people actually like the metal handle knobs??? I could not imagine using those for fishing, but I never have so I don't want to judge. I know personally I do not like the Zaion knobs either, but have no idea how the metal Monoblock knobs fish. Are they just for looks or do they work nicely???
Re: Monoblock Appreciation Society.
Knobs are held in place with one screw each. You can put whatever you want on. The stock handle is super short and the knobs on my red block are actually Zaion. I don't mind tiny knobs with finesse baits. You feel more though the knobs but that includes the drive train and reels with big squishy knobs definitely hide internal vibrations better than tiny hard knobs. I put a longer handle with bigger metal knobs on mine just to have a longer handle and to complete the all metal motif. Just because. Honestly, a block is more than just a tool. It's a neat thing and I like neat fishing things. If I just wanted a tool I wouldn't have spent $460 for a used red round reel with an 80 something mm handle, tiny knobs, weak drag that required a pinion support shaft swap just to make use of 103 spools.
Re: Monoblock Appreciation Society.
Question: what's a fair price for my ito Carrozzeria Limited Racing Milano? A price that makes everyone happy. It's got a gomexus handle, long pinion shaft to accept 103/1016 spools as well as all the stock parts. I've got a number of 103 spools I could include in sale but lets just say it comes with the stock spool. Condition is a 8 out 10 cosmetic and 7 mechanical. Saw one on Ebay in similar condition and the peice was insane.
