treble hook

A friend took this of me at Santee last weekend. We caught 10 or so. This was my biggest. 2lb 14oz on a wacky rig. Oh yeah. Seth Feider came by us and fished same docks we fished. We backed out of his way. I told him we would get out of the way, he was fishing for money, we weren’t.

The tried and true methods still catch fish. Don't abandon what you're doing. I like the advances in equipment. Reels that cast easier and rods that are more sensitive. I've got in to some new techniques. There does seem to be more tournaments now so there is more pressure on the fish and that's a bummer. When I take my sons to the lake I'm always saying, I bet the tournament guys have already fished these spots 5 times before we get there. But it's still one of my favorite things to do and I still have a lot of fun.

I like a custom handmade rod. Very nice.

Last couple of days on Lake Murray

This is what it looks like with a fish on it…

I put covers on all of my baitcasters. I really do like clean reels. I have 5 and 6 year old reels that still look new. I have read that Zillions scratch easy. I’m just going to have to accept that it is a tool and stuff happens.

Got the new Zillion on a custom WickedStyx rod. 7’2” Med Hvy Fast. Spooled it up and it’s ready for the water. Thanks to some of you for helping make the decision to get the JDM Zillion. I think I’m going to like it.

Caught 4 like this one Saturday. I had a big one get off at the boat. Fun day.

From what I can tell, that's just parts diagrams. Thanks for your effort. Greatly appreciated.

Look what came today. I like it a lot. Seems legit. I’ll get it on a rod and spool it shortly. I need help. The owners manual is in Japanese. Where can I download an owners manual in English?

Others said they had bought from Amazon jp with good results. The expected delivery date is April 20th so it will be a while, but I'll let you know how it turns out.

The price went up again today on Digitaka so I ordered the Zillion SV from Amazon jp today. I’ve never used them so I hope the transaction goes good and I hope the reel is authentic. I’ll be standing by the mailbox. I have a Wickedstyx Custom Rod that I am going to pair it with. Should make a great combo. Thank you all for the help and the info. You guys twisted my arm and put the bait monkey on me.

Is this a good place to buy? Is it the same reel?

Now yall have talked me into buying the Zillion. But the price went up. Will it come back down? I’m going to be watching now for it to come back down. I was really liking it at $225. Those tariff fees were still putting it at $250 and I was willing to take that, but that’s about as much as I want to put into it.

I held a Zillion today and I do like it a lot. I came home to order and just my luck, the price went up. I need a coupon code for digitaka. I’m going to wait until Monday since it’s the weekend. Does the price sometimes go back down. And I’m looking for that coupon code.
