It shocked and upset us when their "pro staffers" (basically dudes with a 10% coupon code) decided to spam us. I hope you enjoy a spam free site.

TW reviews. I can't.

It wasn't anything I really tried to make a point of testing. I have Invisx that's five seasons long. I'm changing it out soon, though. I'm not pushing it. These are my four drop shot rods running 6# line.

I wonder how many times I've respooled my rods with mono or CXX, compared to the four years I've had Tatsu spooled up. I'm only changing it this year because it's low on the spool.

Dual Pro have a warranty as well. Most people have their boats FAR longer than a warranty period. They are also a better charger and keep batteries in better condition, which means longer battery life, and lower replacement cost. So, after the warranty expires, and the unit dies, you either throw the MK in the trash or you repair your Dual Pro. That said, the Dual Pro in my boat right now is probably from '95, when the boat was new. Still works like a champ.

For thicker baits, I use Owner Riggin' Hooks. Otherwise round bends work for me.

That looks pretty cool, though I can't understand for the life of me why they don't have a clear picture of the darn thing! And all those words on the page! Pictures people!

There's two in that link A-Jay posted. I can't tell from the photo, but I suspect he's using the steel model, which looks to be a very nice cart. I have the aluminum one, and it's just about worthless.

C-tug: https://www.c-tug.com/ Get the Double Up Bar and second set of wheels, and you won't have to lift a thing once it's on the cart.

Dang, that's a huge fish!

I still have a working IR3 from the early 90s. I haven't used it in years, but it still works. Built like a tank.

No one's complained of this yet. Have you experienced it? Or are you making up an issue that isn't there? Have you bought one?

I've only ever used Dual Pro. Never been an an issue.

My understanding from Seaguar is that it isn't layered, exactly. It's more a transition. That's probably what contributes to what I feel when I refer to Tatsu and Finesse "locking down" with a measured amount of stretch. I'm not really sure how to say it, so.. At any rate, those two reel fill lines and the leader material are made different than most other reel fill lines. I hope that was all as clear as mud. Also, I feel like I recall someone doing something similar to the Keitech baits. Berkley, maybe? Anyone recall?

Not coated. It's a dual resin extrusion.

The feature is generally included on BFS reels, where lighter line is typically used, and margins of breaking strength are tighter.

In the case of Seaguar it is different than most lines, save their Finesse and Tatsu lines, in that it's a dual formula resin. Seaguar is the only maker to make their own resins specifically for the purpose of fishing line. For leader material, they use a hard outside resin, and and a softer interior formula. It's supposed to offer better abrasion resistance than reel fill (it does), while still being supple. Leader doesn't seem what I'd call supple, compared to reel fill, though I bet they are using more of the tougher outer resin.

It's a non toxic, PVC matting screening meant to prevent weed growth in swimming/docking areas. It's also a hook magnet. They're used extensively up here around docks. Its a way better solution than spraying chemicals to kill weeds.

Daiwa, Shimano, and Ambassedeurs.

This is EXACTLY how a well designed hollow frog should end up after a hookset. Here is a Spro Bronzeye doing what it's supposed to do after a hookset:

Megabass reels are built off Daiwa platform reels. It *should* resemble some current Daiwa model.

Good luck.

My point was why would we exclude MB from a list of favorites? I mean, they don't make the Cu50e anymore, but it's still a favorite.
