  1. No, but for this spider, i am willing to learn.
  2. I still have nightmares from the first gen Veritas i had. NEVER AGAIN.
  3. Can i pay Daiwa to remove that ugly spider that they put on everything Tat?
  4. For 2025 i want to get a Googan rod AND reel to exprience what its like to taste the bottom of the barrel. Want to do it, but its hard to give em $150.
  5. Don't do it yourself lol. I once tried to do it with spray cans (it was a pixy as well lol) and all i can say is OOOF. Side plates are easy enough to coat, but the frame was a pain, and it chipped so easily. What a mess that pixy was.
  6. Let us know how it is when you get it. But i did see many custom painted reels from Japan, and its never done with cerakote or protected with an automotive 2k clear, so you will often see lots of paint chipping.
  7. Did you grab it on ebay? I believe i saw it on ebay or google images.
  8. Got into fishing using Fenwick, but there's no reason to buy them now.
  9. I had an older gen GLX. And as i said above, i have nothing against their blanks, they're very good, its just that for the price they're being sold, i would expect much more.
  10. Only have experience with the Zodias, and i couldn't stand the two i had.
  11. Stuck inductor will only get you an unusable reel with older, thinner inductors like the Type R tapered inductors and so on. Less of an issue on SV spools because the inductors are thicker and taller, and even while stuck, have enough braking force when fishing at higher adjustements on your mag dial. And those plastic bases on sv spools break so often, Daiwa should just fix em to the spool with epoxy, or something. No reason not to.
  12. Those daiwa handles are so ugly. For $35 you can find a much better, and better looking handle on Ali. But to know if daiwa handles fit on those Chinesium brands, you gotta measure the shaft.
  13. Wasn't the reel too wild during a cast? If so, reducing the braking force would make it even worse. I have had this happen on one sv spool as well, but what happened is the opposite, it applied too much braking force, and i couldn't cast anywhere near normal distances.
  14. Haven't used them, but they do feel much better than i thought Legit Design rods would. Not tip heavy either.
