  1. Yes, I do believe so. And since the led's are housed in the blade instead of in the hilt you should be able to change colors or blades
  2. the ultrasabers are honestly some of the best built replicas out there, but way over priced. After the hilt, blade, electronics, battery+charger you at well over 400 dollars. For the money the hasbro fx sabers are fantastic. 100-150 gets you a metalic hilt, blade (removable) electronics ect.........yes, I know. Im a nerd.
  3. in my opinion this is the best competitive format out there. I love it!
  4. That mr pike is awesome. I would love to find one of these.....except im poor haha
  5. I carry nearly everything with me stored in a large frame pack in my jeep. Then I choose 4 boxes for my tacklebag. That way, if I want something thats not in my tacklebag, I can at least hike back to my jeep and get that box from my pack
  6. For me on a really slow day, ill start throwing shakey heads around docks. I can always seem to catch a few that way
  7. This is something I have always struggled with as well. Even on days where I do very well and catch a boat load of bass, sometimes I just cant put a pattern to it.
  8. abu silver max, not bad honestly. I learned on this reel for a year before upgrading. After upgrading I no longer care for mag brakes
  9. I have a kvd 1.5 square bill in Black Back/Chart that has now caught 76 fish. Has been through 4 sets of trebble hooks and refuses to break. I have 6 others in the exact same color and none can catch them like this one.
  10. I agree with this guy about the bb1. You can find this for about the same price and they are FANTASTIC. The tatula I dont personally care for but it is ok I suppose(you pay for the name printed on the reel, not the performance of the reel)
  11. Love my revo s. Smooth, has held up perfectly to hundreds of fish, braking system is top notch. Casting and retrieve is fantastic. Reel is very study feeling. As for the tournament mg, they are nice but I personally dont care for magnetic brakes. Centrifigual is the way to go in my opinion. Set one or two brakes on and forget
  12. Many on here will tell you how great of a deal that is, buy my experience is different. I did not care for this reel one bit. Casting distance was FANTASTIC, but thats the only good thing about the reel IMHO. The retrieve was rough, was not comfortable for me to palm, felt very very cheap (almost toy like) and in my opinion not a good representation of daiwa. It was a decent reel, but even in the $100 dollar range there are better. Heck I would take a BPS PQ over this reel day in and day out
  13. ......until you put your glasses back on
  14. I went through 2 g series curados in a course of 6 months. First one, only used 2 weeks, the spool would not engage after the cast. SHimano replaced the reel no questions asked. Second one was OK for a few months then out of no where developed an issue with the drag, I fixed that with new washers and another month later guess what, this one wouldnt engage after the cast as well. Again shimano replaced the reel, and I sold it the day it came in. I was not wasting any more time on a g series. None of this was caused from misuse or neglect. All of my reels are kept in reel gloves, cleaned monthly, etc Also Since day one, neither of these reels were very smooth, even after a full cleaning. Their retrieve was grindy feeling and the overall reel just felt cheap. Now in my opinion, shimano is still the best in the game. I will have more in the future im sure, im just rebuilding my arsenal back up after being robbed 2 years ago so im only to 2 reels
  15. I had one chronarch a few years back and I kick myself in the butt all the time for selling it. Mine was beat to CRAP, literally almost no paint left on the darn thing, bent handle and drag star from the guy stepping on it. That said, It was still beyond smooth and never let me down. Only reason I havent purchased another one is because I have 2 kids and im poor lol
  16. The curado g was a big mistake by shimano in my opinion. That said, the chronarch is a fantastic reel
  17. again rods are apples to apples. I love my veritas, but I also love my bps carbonlite rods. But at 79.99 the veritas is hard to beat in that price range. But abu rods are a little stiff for their rating IMO. My MH is stiffer that a normal MH but not quite a Heavy if that make sense
  18. As simple as it sounds, when Im getting bass that follow but dont take the bite I change one very simple thing at a time to try to intice a strike. First I would change my cadence on the retrieve. Heck even try to swim the jig in between drops. Next I would try a different color or even downsize. They are intrigued but not enough to strike, they just werent looking for exactly what you were presenting
  19. I love my revo....and its their lowest offering. I have a gen 3 revo s and its fantastic. Its a work horse of a reel. Very smooth, I like the braking system alot, great all around gear ratio, and in my opinion for the money can not be beaten. I had a curado g and returned it for this reel and I couldnt be happier.
  20. Im no good at judging weight, that said.....HAWG! Nice fish man
  21. I love throwing kvd 1.5s
  22. Also check out the revo s. Small profile, light, easy to use and very durable. Its a little over $100 dollars but worth every penny
  23. I have no experience with the duckett, but I absolutly love my veritas. I have a 7' MH Fast that I use for jigs in medium cover. For the price it cannot be beat in my opinion (right now its 79.99) Its very light, sensitive, great guides ect.
