  1. That's one impressive dog.
  2. Nachos were invented in Texas.
  3. sounds like you didn't line up the pinion and main gear correctly in the frame
  4. Deal with it Add weight to the butt section with a chair cap/quarters/weights Get a custom rod Those are about your only courses of action. Tip heaviness is subjective like sensitivity. A rod might feel really tip heavy to one person but throw the same set up in another persons hands and he doesn't notice it. Mocking a person because they think a rod is tip heavy is asinine. We all fish and feel things differently.

    I use these on light 7# fluorocarbon. I know you don't like screw locks but this has a light-wire, ewg hook for texas rigging.
  7. TT did a review. It scored well but the review turned me off trying it. Seemed to have more bad than good in areas that count but the megabass name gave it a boost. I came away with average blank and really tip heavy.
  8. Send it in to be cleaned. Spinning reels aren't fun to work on.
  9. Started using this bladed jig last year. Really impressed until this spring. This had happened 3 times now. Anybody else having this issue or am I an outlier? I've closed the loop as far as it will bend without altering the baits balance but it still slips out. I may try to solder the gap closed on the ones i have but if the problem persists....
  10. The sleeve that sits in the AR bearing can only go on one direction for the reel to work correctly. It isn't reversible. That would be my first guess as well. I've done it more times than I would like to admit.
  11. It's highly unlikely you are getting the new sciii mojo for 40% off. Cabelas is most likely clearancing out their old stock. The 68mxf makes a great jerkbait rod. Well worth 60-70$
  12. I have 5 months of winter to get through each year. I tear down 12-14 of my own to the bare bones and deep clean every inch. polish internals that need be, and put on fresh oil/grease once a year. Passes time and I make sure anything that needs replaced or upgraded gets done before open water. I only do 1-2 on Sundays during football anyway so I'm not rushed. I'll clean a few peoples or fix one at random if somebody asks me to but I like to keep it to a winter hobby. If you aren't comfortable doing it just send them in to a reel tech. It's a one time headache free fee where you know you're getting them back in probably better working order than you were capable of if you aren't proficient in it.
  13. Green pumpkin variant White Black/Blue or Black/Red I throw the Green Pumpkin variant more often than not.
  14. I would assume they are 4x7x2.5. DVT could probably give you a definitive answer. I don't know about Lews handle post sizes but Daiwa/Shimano use that size on their handles. If you have one handy, pull a bearing out from the handle and swap it in to find out. If it is 4x7x2.5, go on Amazon and buy them from any RC car vendor. Might cost you 8-10$ for a dozen of them.
  15. I think you mean his right. Aaron doesn't die and his son, if you followed the comics, has a pretty large story in the next season. Also, somebody who probably isn't with the production crew anymore leaked the audio that was edited out during the "blackout" portion of the end of the show. They audio is word for word /w the comics. Glenn dies. If you can find it, more power to you. AMC was able to pull the plug on pretty much every single social media upload within hours. I heard it twice and can't find it anywhere anymore. AMC was even able to shut down a lot of the major FB groups for the walking dead that had it uploaded for a few days. There's also a lot of fakes. who knows.
  16. In a perfect wouldn't it wouldn't happen but upon the tens of thousands of these baits that are produced each year, no matter what company, there will be some defects. It's inevitable. Sucks you got one of the few but SPRO will almost certainly take care of you.
  17. nope. it's a fantastic crankbait. You most likely got a defected one. Call Spro and I'm sure they will take care of you. Otherwise you could probably just glue the bill back in /w a light coat of adhesive. Just make sure the bill is completely flush back in the slot or it may not run correctly w/o a ton of tuning.
  18. Call daiwa. The part numbet is on the schematic. If you cant find it i can dig it up. Don't let them charge you 5$ for one + shipping. Ask for a refurbished one. It will be brand new and free. What was causing the gear noise?
  19. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
  20. The noise could be a number of things. Unles you are more clear on your diagnosis, I cannot help you much further. I would return it if possible unless you are proficient in reel mechanics. 195$ is ridiculously high for a used Curado E in "pretty old and heavily used" condition. The Curado e7 will last a lifetime if properly maintained. The new Curado I's aren't horrible and the new Citica isn't better. It's essentially the same reel. Whoever told you that the Citica was a better reel would not a person I would have working on your reels. He's a fool.
  21. perhaps you should have read 4 more lines down before crying wolf.. "In the event of a needed restroom break or refueling situation at a marina gas pump, partners are allowed to leave the boat; however, in that event, all fishing must cease until partners are back together in the boat "
