I got an old Mitchell 400, and it doesn't fit in any of my rods. What are some recommendations ?

I'm converting my dingy into a one man bass boat . I cut out a 1/2 in. plywood and im curious if i should put carpet or paint it?

Thanks for the wealth of info. Whats a good cork split grip to go with the fuji acs #16?

5would you size up on the first two double foot guide? For example 5 - 5 - 3.5 - 3.5 - 3.5 - 3.5 - 3.5 - 3.5

Thanks! both of your comments were very helpful. Do you guys recommend anything for guides? sizing?

Thanks for the reply and the warning about the Minima seat. My concern is not BFS application but whether it will fit on the blank size. Will a size 16 Fuji fit? or is too big with arbor? Do you have a link to the one you're recommending? thanks again.

Will this work http://www.mudhole.com/MINIMA-Ultra-Lite-Exposed-Blank-Casting-Reel-Seat?quantity=1&custcol50=93 Also are size 16 fuji reel seats too big?

I'm planning on making a BFS Rod with these specs: length 6'6'' butt: .323 wt: .81 What's a good reel seat and butt cap?

Does any body know if avail is going to come out with a honey comb spool for the 70?

Does anyone sell shallow spools for the 70? Couldnt find anything on japantackle.

If it was a toss up between Curado 50e or 70 which one would you buy?

Thanks for the replies.ill check matagi. Has anyone ordered from these guys? http://www.northeastrodbuilders.com/stuff-to-buy/fuji-pts-tvs-seats/

Where can find this reel seat in this color or one similar? Can't find it on mudhole.

Do you know the reason? Thanks for the reply everyone

Missing the guide on my Phenix XG1 crankbait rod. It's the one before the tip. Does anyone know the size and a good brand replacement? I know phenix uses essex sic but I heard they are exclusive to them. Tried contacting phenix and no reply.

how does this handle the 6xd?

How does the mag crankin stick handle 3-4 oz lures? Thinking about using it for deep cranks and light swimbaits.

Thanks Raul. You would suggest a Lexa then?

I'm looking for a deep cranking reel. I currently own daiwas and shimanos. My budget is under $100 and I narrowed it down to these three (still open to other suggestions). Daiwa Lexa $69 Pfleuger Supreme $99 BSP ProQ $99 Which one?

Got the light for trout. It's a little stiff because of the sections but has a very soft tip. Here's a video of it in action

I already have two crankbait rods but none can handle the deep diving crankbaits. I do have a doybns ss 705c. Would that be adequate?

For crankbaits get a slower Rod. That way you don't rip the hooks out the fish's mouth when they bite. Then for worms you want faster rods so that you can feel the bite and set the hook better.

How was it? Did it balance well? The BPS Maxx Mightly lite is lightweight and it balanced well with the rod. This made it easier to case with one hand.

Got the ML too. Great for throwing lures above 1/4 oz.

thanks guys!
