@Delaware Valley Tackle do you have any experience with the 24 steez sv? As far as I’m aware, you can’t adjust spool tension. The tool is just to loosen/tighten the cap. Have you ever worked on one? Pop max on tatsu??

I sometimes like to use the elaztech versions on 1/4oz Texas rigs. It lets the tail float up like a shaky head but is completely weedless, unlike the shaky head. You fished that on a casting setup?

Quick question regarding the owner twist locks. I haven’t used the twist locks in heavy grass/lily pads yet. Does the exposed eye on a twistlock get hung up on grass more than a standard hook while fishing flukes/senkos?

Thank you. I’ve been using an Apple Watch for years now so I was very curious what this watch would offer to someone like myself as far as fishing benefits.

Can you really adjust it? I’m 99% sure the tool is just to take it apart. Can anyone confirm? Theres a thread on another site that talks about it but I’m not sure if linking to it would break any rules.

What does it do for fishing other than tracking your location?

Any update?

Interesting. I’ve always fished the caffeine shad like a fluke, which is like a soft jerkbait. Light twitches to make it dart around.

I started using owner twistlocks after this video. Never looked back.

I’ll definitely look into that. I love my Columbia shirts and shorts so I’m sure their jackets are great as well. Thanks!

Thanks. Crap. I don’t want to be sweaty. I wish I could find a breathable waterproof jacket.

I don’t make any of these mistakes, as I am perfect and do everything correctly. I’m also always right. I thought I was wrong once, but I wasn’t. 😁

Seems like a real possibility. @Murph fisho is there any chance you could post a couple pictures of your reel?

How long did the package take to get to you? Customs has been charging $30 a day for “storing” packages. I can’t find anything regarding de minimis being revoked. Other people have had orders delivered the past week with no extra charges. I’ve spent way more time researching this than I should have but to me, this looks like a DHL/customs mistake. We’re all human and we all make mistakes. I’m sure customs is up to their eyebrows in packages right now. Hope you get it sorted out. If you don’t mind, I’d appreciate it if you could post what you find out. I’m very curious as to what’s going on.

Who told you de minimis no longer applies? I think someone at customs messed up. Edit: I’ve been digging into this more and it seems to be a DHL problem. If you do some research on google you’ll see a lot of people having the same issue but only with DHL.

@FishTank how much was the total order? If the order was under $800 it would be subject to de minimus and shouldn’t be charged anything extra. Either the total order was over $800, or it originated from China or at least customs mistakenly believes that. Bottom line, nothing under $800 is impacted by any extra fees unless it’s from China/Hong Kong.

This is still showing the original tariff rates. Tariffs have been paused so Japan should only be 10% not 24%. This stuff is too confusing for me.

I’m considering getting a new jig/T-rig rod to replace my Dobyn’s champion extreme 745. The power pitch is a couple inches shorter but has the same lure weight rating as the 745. I don’t have a problem with my 745, but I figured I could repurpose it with braid as a punching/frog rod and the power pitch would get the 25lb tatsu I normally use on the 745. So, my question is, how much more sensitive is the steez AGS power pitch compared to my Dobyn’s 745? I know sensitivity is subjective, but anyone with opinions would be much appreciated!

Ah, ok. I did google it but all I saw were spinning reels in the “coresolid” section. https://fish.shimano.com/en-GB/content/c/Coresolid.html I’ll have to do some more digging.

Is coresolid only on Shimano spinning reels? Can you explain what it is and what benefits it gives? I’m unfamiliar with it.

A shaky head would certainly give them a fair shake! I’ll see myself out. 😁

Thanks. The champion extreme 745 is rated 3/8-1 1/2oz just like what you use so I think I’ll just stick with it. I don’t get to punch as often as I’d like anyways. Only difference is I use 25lb tatsu FC instead of braid. Yes, I know a lot of you will call me crazy. 😁

Expride recommendations.

I wanna try the owner twist lock hooks with these. Anyone try them? What size hook would be good for the regular and what size for the magnum?

Old thread I see but how shallow do these actually run?
