How fast was shipping? Some of their stuff looks pretty decent. 

About 10 days.

I have to say the quality and fit is amazing.  I will be buying from them again.  I purchased the purple cast control cap from them too.  The nut cover and screw is also SDS.

He's a very nice guy in Ukraine, and I can vouch for the quality of both his bearings and reel tuning parts.  This is my Tournament Pro with a pair of his EVA knobs swapped in place of the rubber paddles.  

My new 2021 lineup. Got my new Steez LTD today. Very nice reel.

 

 

Anyone want to see my new Luvias or Lews skippin reel?  Nah... I didn’t think so.

Sure. New tool/toy why not.

I bet that Luvias is really nice!  :)

The new zillion on the p5 SD ? 

I have been working like crazy all year and not fishing much so I got my fix by collecting gear.

I'm really loving this guy. 

 

Got a RCS shallow spool for it too.

Did you buy the block rod holders or is that a DIY?   If DIY where did you get the material?   That looks to suit my needs perfectly.

A true gentleman on this forum and someone I would recommend to anyone for a quick question, chat, or advice.  Columbia Craw is a go-to and has become a true friend.  All the best on the water!  Happy New Year!

Compared to some, not much. But all these rods and reels were new this year (soon to be next year lol). Three baitcasting rigs (6’6” Daiwa Aird-X MF & Garcia Black Max; 6’6” Daiwa Aird-X MHF & Garcia Black Max; 7’ Fenwick HF and Daiwa Fuego CT) and three spinning rigs (6’6”  Fenwick HMX MF & Daiwa Revros LT2500; 6’6” Daiwa Procyon MXF & Shimano Sienna 2500 and waiting on a longer 7’ Fenwick HMX MF & Daiwa Revros LT2000). 
 

Here’s hoping 2021 brings some great fishing with these rigs and some new ones as well!

Thanks. That LT2000 looks lonely without a rod, though. Darned backorder! ?

Being I shore fish most of the time, I don't need a gazilloin rigs, these serve me plenty well.

Sorry for the so so pic's.

 

 

 

Just finished servicing all my reels. Complete disassembling, cleaning, greased/oiled the reels. Now I just have to wait for 3-4 months?

 

Got my new Expride to go along with my other one. I have my new Steez mounted on the 7'2"ML+ and my Antares on my new Expride 6'8"MH up to 1oz. 

 

I finally ended up swapping out my NRX 852S for a Conquest 842C. I never used the nrx because I don't typically use spinning a spinning rod. Oddly, I didn't really have the highest expectations for the Conquest, and it was just a huge bonus since I swapped my spinner that I couldn't find ways to keep in my hand. My wife said she saw me shed a tear when I picked it up for the first time after putting a reel on it. Tears or pure joy. I've since picked it up and Dr. Evil laughed uncontrollably several times. This thing is going to get some use. Holding this thing makes you ☺
