I use controlled snack to give the uttermost erratic swim on my twitch and jerkbaits.

I like 13 Fishing reels, but they are really overpriced.

Its a custom fiberglass trout rod.

Ultra finesse BFS setup: Yesterday's ultimate test
It has hooked sideways. The treble hook wasn't puncturing my hand. Quite not, LOL! Missed my location for just some 3000 miles.

But infer it's usage on the brand budget line isn't in now way or form, an exercise of imagination.

What Reel Would You Consider Useable/Fishable Art?(Own or Owned)
My Conquest 51 Shallow special

Lew's drag problems
The cardboard-like material is found on doyo's cheapest reels, the Abu Garcia Black Max and it's derivatives. Have you ever opened your reels?

Gear Ratios for Baitcasters
Inches per turn, the amount of line retrieved per spool full turn.

Lew's drag problems
Concerning drag problems on Doyo reels I only saw them with cardboard-like drag discs, similar to what shimano calls dartanium. Very cheap material.

River Fishing and Brackish Water Gear
Brackish water can damage your gear in ways even saltwater can't, since it has a lower density and higher penetration.

What's the one rod you would buy again without question if you broke it?
Rapala Gold V3 - Brazilian domestic market.
-
Gear Ratios for Baitcasters
All-round 6.3:1. 5x:1 for bigbaits. 8:1 for poppers, propellers and most topwater lures and jerkbaits. But prefer to think in terms of IPT alone.

Curado K Thumb Bar
Chronic problem in the K-series. As I said befor, the K-series and somewhat the, I-series is where Shimano stopped seriously worrying about quality and started relying on its name alone. Over your reel, the problem is the low quality of the disengaging system spring.

Yep...

Shimano Metanium Backlash Central
I was refering to the IVCB-VI, the best centrifugal brake I ever used. Revo MGX2.

Shimano Metanium Backlash Central
And you are right about daiwa handling sudden speeds changes. Thanks to the magnetic nature of magforce braking systems. Actually with magforce Z/V and its derivatives, daiwa blend the befenfits of centrifugal braking (better highspin braking) and magnetic one (continuous control for all the cast). The mobile inductor cup gives a non-linear centrifugal-like behavior for the magforce Z/V. IVCB-II brakes, with ceramic blocks and polished braking plate almost mimicry a mag brake. It's the most advanced centrifugal braking system I ever used.

I only use lure dropping for centrifugal brakes. Just the most minimal side play and everything handled by the braking dial, above 12 position. Don't be sorry. You are plainly wrong, but in a very authoritative way. Spool tension control rotation, when the spool is disengaged. Aluminum is a paramagnetic metal, and under rotation and influence of the magnets, develops a counter EMF, in opposition to the one on them. Lenz Law. There is plenty of data over this matter. It's just basic understanding over magnetic braking.

Shimano Metanium Backlash Central
Yep. Zero-adjust it one time and only use the magforce dial. There is one exception for lures with terrible aerodynamics, like these with very large lips. Tighter spool tensions should be avoided on mag brakes, because they don't allow a adequate magnetic field to be inducted in the spool rotor/inductor cup.

Shimano Metanium Backlash Central
I think I wasn't clear over what I'm saying. I said magforce Z/V are linear mags until the centrifugal ''force'' make the inductor enter in the magnets space, when it becomes more like a centrifugal brake. The magnetic influence is always present, even with the inductor cup in resting position, out of the magnets. SV Spool requires magforce air. The cup don't move by centrifugal ''force'' alone, the magnets are needed to make the cup move.

Actually it is, until the inductor cup enter the space between the magnets, when braking is increased way more than spool spinning do itself.
-
Shimano Metanium Backlash Central
In no way or form this will work. ''Zero-adjust'' only works on braking were control is delivered during all of the cast, a.k.a mag braking and its linear derivatives.

Leader or not?
Always, in most presentations, mainly BFS gear. Surely our ''15lb braided with MM power rod finesse guy'' can brag over tying braided direct to line.

Curado k spool tension setting
Minimal side play is reserved to reels with a magnetoc component braking, either common linear, magforce ou dual braking centri-mag.
