Where are you guys buying aftermarket drag clickers? Are they always custom made, or are there generic kits? Are they decent quality? I've been curious about adding a drag clicker to an old BB1 inshore that I use for bait and wait.

I really dislike the look over overly pitted cork, so I coat mine to prolong the time until that happens.

Where is a stradic on sale for $135?

What shipping method do you usually use when ordering from PLAT?

You should be able to buy the piece. Click Shop, then Spinning Reels, then your reel, then you can select the model of your reel. Scroll through the parts list and add it to your cart.

I think I saw that same video before and was confused by the order he said he tied it. I think they edited the video or his voice over comment was just incorrect. Theres no way to tie a Palomar to the swivel after it's connected to the mainline without wasting a massive amount of leader line.

Do you Megabass rod owners consider P5's durable? I'm intrigued by the Windbuster and found a used one thats close to my budget. I'm worried about not having a warranty to fall back on should an accident happen. I not rough with my gear, but you never know.

Do you have the 7'2 or 7'7? How does it balance with the Vanford? When I was playing with Phenix Feathers, the 7'1 balanced better than the 7'7 to me, but I was using a heavier Stradic FL. Curious how the Maxim balances.

The REEL TEST did a comparison review series on those two reels.

it also looks like they dont have recoil guides like the regular NRX+ rods, so that probably adds to the weight

since the 3 power is available, what techniques do you use or want to use on the 2 and 4 powers? that will probably help narrow it down

i've used magic eraser and water to remove u-40 up to a few days after it "dried"

if you arent married to the ergonomics of the SLX and Curados, I would give the Lews Tournament Pro a shot. I was all Lews until I found out that the new Shimanos fit better in my hand. I would still only use Lews if their reels didnt get slightly wider.
