Re: Uses of Shimano Specific Oil and Greases Advanced

So, can you use the NLTS2 Grease for Drive, pinion, and idle gears like the old permalube? And if so, is there a limit to what reels you can use this one for? Also, for the SSRO Oil and BFS Oil - Would you recommend using them for spool bearings that you are wanting to get higher performance out of?...

Uses of Shimano Specific Oil and Greases Advanced

Bantam 1 - Could you please tell me most of the common uses for each of these different Greases and Lubes. I service a lot of my own reels and have a good bit of experience, but would like to have a detailed list. I think this would be extremely helpful for a lot of do-it-yourself guys for reel main...

Re: Phenix K2 715 vs 736

Yeah, I highly suspect that Cal got some PB731MHXF blanks that were mislabeled as "PB731HXF". I have close to 20 custom Point Blank rods made, and this happened to me on 2 of their blanks that I ordered. I had ordered 2 PB731MHXF rods I had ordered from Voodoo Rods several months ago. They were act...

Re: Phenix K2 715 vs 736

That may be exactly what happened! I wouldn't be surprised at all to be honest. I love the Point Blank rod blanks, but they have had a few quality control issues with lengths and powers. One of my 6'6" Light blanks was 6'8" and a couple have had butts where it didn't look like the resin impregnated ...

Re: Phenix K2 715 vs 736

Now, as for the K2 Phenix rods, I only have 3 custom K2 rods. One of the rods broke on it's first outing (The 715) a couple months ago and am in the process of getting it rebuilt. It had a defective blank and popped on the first hookset using 14 sunline shooter. So, I can't comment on the 715 other ...

Re: Phenix K2 715 vs 736

Part of me wonders if Cal was measuring a PB731MHXF instead of the PB731HXF 🤷‍♂️ A9S03421.jpg The reason I believe that you actually got mislabeled blanks is the fact that you got a RoD number of 1.73 and back in your older review "Does Power Tackle Deliver with "The One" Rod?" you got a RoD number...
