Amateur. : ;D They always happen at the worst time too! LOL so true i let someone else use my reel for a minute and they got a huge backlash when the bite was on , by the time i picked it out the spinnerbait bite was done and shortly after the line guide insert on the reel popped out

Okay, some good info here and someone with real experience. Is reel mech. a mook?

I got my info from matt at otterods.

I told you so....

Well, im gonna start swimming so I can eat whatever the heck I wan't

Ill check it out

Plus at least one more. The standard Zillion has six bearings plus the roller, the hyperspeed sports eleven plus the roller. Also, in the hyperspeed all of the bearings are corrosion resistant. The standard Zillion has four CRBB and two BB. I know the differences, but th ones you will fell the most..

They do offer there blanks to the custom rod builders. The whole split grip design isn't about looking cool it is for better senceitvity. If your rod feels to tip heavy you just need to balance your rod by putting some weight in the back of the blank. I guarantee you the same rod with split grip and non split grip in your hands you cant tell the difference in sensitivity don't fool your self buddy :-X : Well I own both split grip and full grip rods and there is a difference its not a huge difference. So don't fool yourself buddy. So do I and rod builders have clamied it makes no difference they use split grip to save on cork cost, and because customers fell it's m0ore comfortable. In fact a full grip balances the rod better which a balanced rod will feel more sensitive Bud, The price of cork is peanuts. The are not saving that much maybe few dollars depends on the quality of the cork. The st. croix legend is any where from 220 to 270 so you think they made it a spit grip to save money on cork you are nuts. A company like st. croix or lommis get the cork for pennies. Think what you want. I said rod builders, ex reel mech, for top of the line cork after 10 rods you can save some money may not be a lot, but still money saved and st.croix wen't with a split grip because "everyone else is doing it" it's a fad

I'd imagine it will be like the zillion with bearings in the handle and a fancy paint job? what's not to like? 8.9oz

MY dad ordered 2 yesterday and they should be in by next week. < is excited.

WE need to perform a test on leaders no leaders, a lot of experienced angles i've talked to used no leader on high vis braid and have caught countless fish, then there are the 'others'.

I think loomis will stay the way they are until the have real competiton new st.croix????

I don't to much knowledge here to let out to the rest of the Canadian, catching and eating all my fish.. seriously where in ontarioare you from im form the G.T.A.

I'm worried about our little buddy. First he changes his avatar to that annoying purple teddy bear that everyone hates (if you have little kids then you know what I mean), then he paints his nails, ironically the same color as the purple teddy bear, and now he's collecting pet rocks. I think Dave is confused about his age and maturity level? ;D

Are you going to take that Dave? I mean c'mon you're the abercrombie poster boy ;D

Was Dave painting his nails again?

Imagine dave trying to look like a tough guy we need a photoshop with tatoos and a leather jacket.

One day rw should try out a daiwa one day everyone should try a daiwa.

That is the funniest thing i've seen all day im laughing out loud right now

I still can;t work photoshop cs2 :-/

I think with a little work hookem down could look like a guido?
