The rods are only available as 2 piece... I guess (being a trout rig) Daiwa thinks we'll be packing. No spiral wraps. For $425 USD, another Elese begins to look good. Perhaps an Elite or that F1.5 (I forget the name) for Pixy and Elese for the Presso reel. What's this mention of "resin" in the reel...

LOL!

Through excuses you find, new weakness you gain!

totally! that matte black hits a sore spot!

if only those rods were spiral wrapped..

Think my tackle budget has been depleted for this year.

There is always a way to change that! Like: What about (just gently) poking at next years budget?!

marc dont you think this reel will look just right on something like the Elese!

Cal -you are working on it right?

I got my Pixy from B-Bill, highly recommend working with him! oh, happy birthday and take the time to pay your final respect to those other reels before you open that sparkling box and smell the pixy dust!

by increasing the diameter of the spool and at the same time retaining line-volume, you gain moment of inertia by. I just dont get the argument for why moving mass further away from its axis would lead to any positive benefits in casting? I think the real issue (from v's previous diagram) is how the...

Wouldnt re-thinking the line guide in 'cast-state' make alot of these issues redundant. With thinner spools, you get less spool-diameter <> line-length relationship, which to me would mean more line-memory and energy lost in straightening the line out just so much more due to a more dramatic fold. I...

Man the BaitMonkey sure knows his works, and guyz do me a favor, pleez stop talking about the Pixy, the Baitmonkey is not sure what he wants, red is his favorite color and with all this talk his appetite is growing and growling, pretty soon he´s not going to give a damn if the reel has an underp...

Matt from Otterods built a custom rod for me this summer and next time I have any kindof custom rod work done I will go with Matt. You are part of the process all the way and the craftmanship and quality is simply unmatched!

I think you will be fine, once you spend some time with the new Pixy, you (or the baitmonkey) will find yourselves caught up in a romance and somehow you will find yourself arguing for how the Pixy quite possibly could be the best all-round reel you have ever laid your hands on, even though its know...

IMO: There is allways going to be the risk of being 'very underpowered' but that is also very relative to your strategy in the fight. A disproportionate example would be trying to muscle in a 40lb King with something like an Abu 6500, which would probably not happen if the fight was on. But a bit of...

It is the oil port. Drop of oil every once a while. Its a pretty sweet reel huh
