It was a limited run of 1500 straight from Reaction Innovations the other day. Sold out same day. My buddy’s order got refunded. They got more orders than they could fill.

Senko on a slider head, is it just a worm at that point
Regardless of whether you want to call It senko or worm Fishing, a weighted t-rig senko works when you can’t do weightless. Go for It.

Daiwa Zillion SV TW
I have the jdm zillion sv and it’s the best reel I’ve ever used. Just got the jdm zillion hd in which could give It a run for its money. We will see. PS I’ve never held a US model Zillion and if It wasn’t for this forum telling me, I would have never known the knobs were smaller. It’s a non issue to me.

Show off your Stuff
Man I can’t get over this reel. The mix of the shiny and matte black. ? The digitaka website pics didn’t do It justice. I thought my zillion tw sv was good looking but wow.

I wanted to pick an SLX rod for $60 at my academy, but there’s only been one and it’s a broomstick cranking rod I don’t need.

Swim-bait on flipping rod vs. flipping on a swim-bait rod
My swimbait rod is a Dobyns 795sb. No way I’m pitching/flipping with that big sucker.

Zillion HD JDM vs US
I didn’t but I read this recently in another forum: ”Bummer about japanlureshop is they only allow paypal (in my experience) and paypal had their own exchange rate that added approx 3% to the cost. Digitaka does not do that (straight through with credit card for the going exchange rate).” So It appears that’s what happened. On digitaka I used the PayPal options because It was quicker to just click that than to manually enter the card number. I know now not to do that. More than 3% though.

What's your guess as to how this happened?
The guy laying down on the left is the tow truck driver. They are usually partially responsible for clearing debris. So something clearly happened at this ramp. No one would put that level of detail in a photoshop. My guess is the trailer, tow truck, and people belong in this picture. However, I’m leaning towards the truck part of the picture itself to be photoshop from a Highway accident. Too much damage, and whatever that thing is coming off the bumper doesn’t seem to belong. Although that looks like a pontoon trailer and they sometimes have something similar on the trailer. This just looks off though.

FC leader vs. “whole spool” FC?
To me, unless I’m fishing offshore with heavy leader (80-100lb plus), it’s more cost effective to use a spool of regular line as leader. Never been a problem for me.

Savage Gear Shine Glide (Glider?)
I found this: https://savage-gear.com/products/3d-roach-shine-glider https://www.ebay.com/itm/314108440694?epid=1442388637&hash=item4922527076:g:SuYAAOSwCURi-ZaZ&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAsESLAznwKL%2FyUXRtq3dsdmOe68TXhfnlQtT8xaTDxh%2FZD0HRnNJ%2FGFYFl1uBCnr%2F93sinTeUkorFfI30vs8vYmS9Dej8AKQa6QZEXxmBao%2FVJQZAKdogDwHlK0kdX%2FbxLX9tQEpJQarsSXXeYLZBL6qKjSfFkw2V4OUvpe3TRbCuQ2BiSSIHXWrzzyKnlRJXKd6MXmQHRKD9fnMFFvq%2FKpyxtO2%2FplLPskjSgLkTxMd2|tkp%3ABk9SR7zd3LLXYA It king of looks like the glider is an older model.

Best website for JDM Shimano reels
I’ve used digitaka twice. Great experiences. PayPal screwed my over with them and charged me way more though, so I recommend using CC directly to digitaka.

Use Rockcrawler in an off color or different crank in better color?
I have two. Both red. I use them in the fall.

What are you doing with the free tackle warehouse sticker?
I feel like he didn’t mean literally stick them on the desk.
-
have you met up with any forum members and fished with them?
Unfortunately they’ve had It closed since COVID.

Is this this a good deal?
I’m not trying to be rude but that reel is junk. I bought one for my son a few years back and we took It back almost immediately.

There must be something wrong with me
When I was boatless and only kayak fished, yes I had those days of no motivation to go a lot. Loading the Kayak in the truck, tying It down, get It and gear to the lake, dragging It to the water, getting wet and muddy possibly, putting gear on kayak, paddling to spot, etc etc etc. Just sounds like a beating some days. Now I never have that. Hook boat up, back into water, 5 minutes later I’m flying across the lake to anywhere I want to go, gear stays in the boat, reach in locker and start fishing. Love It.
