  1. Easiest to tie and works well enough. I may be blind but it also looks like youre applying zap a gap to your knot? if you are then tie whatevers easiest and go fish!
  2. If 2lb heavier line would have kept a fish from snapping your line, your drag is way too tight.
  3. You might lose lures due to the 2lb difference. If you lose fish the problem isnt a 2 lb difference.
  4. No experience with BPS Crankn Sticks but my M/M Berkley Lightning Rod has done well with those baits. That said, if I was to do it again, I'd give strong consideration to the Lews Carbon Fire Rod. I handled this one in store when picking up a H version and the MH/M has excellent bend to it. https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/lews-carbon-fire-speed-stick-casting-rod-19lewu7crbnfrspdsrod/19lewu7crbnfrspdsrod
  5. I wonder if the price of the rod had anything to do with it? As a customer you gain a lot of leverage with a $300 purchase. If only Megabass would sell me a rod for say $50 I could test this theory ... ?
  6. Can't complain about Yo Zuri Hybrid as a leader. Then again Im a firm believer its the best bang for your buck line around.
  7. Did you lose the whole guide or just the insert? I can see how they would not accept the whole guide under warranty or be willing to just send out a replacement.
  8. I'd go 6 speed. But then again i prefer a slower reel as I tend to speed up my reeling once i connect with some fish. I wouldn't underspool. In my mind it would affect casting distance ... it very well may not but I would be wondering if it does on every cast.
  9. Fish that rod and stock up on cranks
  10. April fools is also in April FYI
  11. tbh thats why im interested. There IS a market for this and there will be a resale market.
  12. How much are we looking at? And approx when will they be available?
  13. Thats my point exactly. This budget reel manages to be smoother on display than say a Tatula. In operation it sure isnt smoother nor will it stay smooth longer. But what makes it smoother out the box?
  14. Why is it that no reel feels smoother than a store display model Abu Black Max??? Maybe its only the case at the Academy I frequent but the display models feel unbelievably smooth to the point its made me wonder if changes are made to the display models to make them crank smoother.
  15. JDM is gonna typically hold its value better than USDM Just be wary of too good deals
  16. Im not really into throwing rods or reels into saltwater but to each their own
  17. Only advice is to check ratings and pay with paypal to get buyer protection
  18. I bought a lifetime supply off eBay a while back. The guy i bought mine from is no longer selling it but some are still available at a much higher price ?
  19. MAF cleaner in baby food jar on top of running dryer to clean TSI321 cut at 1:7 with electronics grade alcohol for oil
  20. Can't find anything that states this. Everything says only SLX DC has the micromod ... hmmm.
  21. Basically if Facebook tells you to buy it ... dont also dont try to meet local singles in your area or to find out one weird trick to lower your insurance rates in Texas
