the drag is something that I will need to change out. Any suggestions?

It really dont matter now.
i just found out that my wife brought me the the Core MG7.
its a good feeling. although feel a little bad for buying the JDM
version too.. guess i will have to make it up to her. by getting her one.

OK, I have two handles off an E series curado and a D series spool for my two 100DSV curados in from Shimano. So what is next in terms of upgrades? I've already replaced the bearings in one, I know I need to in the other but first I have to figure out which one has the boca bearings and which does n...

I thank you as well.. very, very informative. One other question, I have an old Team daiwa advantage 153 the tuned version, in regards to size how close wil it be to a alpha ito or a pixy? The frame looks the same to me.. Agaain thanks, I know exactly what I am not looking for and I know if the PX T...

What is the difference in a pixy (non zilla) and an Ito? What is the PX-R and where does it fall into place? I was looking at the pixies for sale and than the ito's for sale and they all look the same for me. I noticed that the PX-R type is more expensive than the steez 103 at the moment, and wonder...

I know that one has the 6.3:1 gear ratio (aluminum) and the other the 7.0:1 witht the brass gearing. When you consider $349.00 vs $399.00 is the MG7 worth the extra money? I am really straddle the fence and since reading these forums I have kinda talked myself out of a steez and now trying to decide...

most of the time when i read about those that use "finesse" reels they arent using what I consider finesse lines 12# and above. i think if i brought a finesse reel i would not use more than 8lb test. Now when it comes to flippn and pitchn a finesse reel most often balances best on long sticks. I lov...

I've been looking long enough at the finesse reel blogs. I've often wondered why would a person buy a finesse reel ( particularly casting models)? Often I read that people have Pixy's and such. I've wondered how well would a pixy be at flipp'n and pitch'n. Does anyone use them for that? What reels o...

What's your take? I just saw it on japantackle and it looks amazing. Clean lines and all but I also wonder about the
Antres too with the micro gears.
