Have an old one, have handled, not fished with, the new one. While I really like my older one the new one is probably one of the best spinning reels I have ever handled, and I own an Exist. Is it...
My experience is the same as the original poster. Seems to happen more during hot weather but would not swear to that. I have always been able to clean it off with a soft rag and something like...
While I can not give you a absolute answer, it appears they do not. Just looking at their web site it looks like they no longer sponsor Andy. Surely somewhere somebody has a few in stock.
They make absolutely top of the line blanks, yes the customer service is lacking and delivery times are long. They have always answered my calls and if the person I wanted to talk to was not...
I will defer to Bronzefly as far as knowledge. Just reading stats it is over a half ounce heavier and has several fewer bearings. The line capacity is the same and you could put the longer handle...
At the same price is the SLX which feels better in my hand. Not that I think the Exage is bad, just the SLX, to me , is better.
It is hard to make replacing them work out on a $ basis as opposed to buying a new one. That is if you are paying someone. If you like the blank go for it. Plenty of stuff on line and check out...
webby I run my Bantam on that same rod, great combo. It just feels weird to put a Daiwa reel on a Shimano/Loomis rod. Or maybe I'm just weird.
I have a Steez SV TWS, not the A. I also have a Bantam MGL. I think it would really depend on your intended use. Both are wonderful reels and I would be hard pressed to chose one over the other. ...
There has been quite a bit of good info in this thread and some that was kind of convoluted. I don't think anything that was posted is absolutely false and I will not pretend to know everything...
I have an Expride 9' XXH 2 piece rated for 1-7oz. I will not tell you that it is a joy to throw, but if you want to launch a 2 or 3 oz. swim bait or a somewhat large A-rig, it has got you covered. ...
There are a couple of reviews on Youtube. The reviewers seem to like them, but I always take everything on YT with a grain of salt.
physically they will be fairly close to the same size, just heavier.
The BG reels are designed for salt water applications with sizes up to 8000. The bass size reels are about 2 oz heavier than a comparable Fuego. I have a 1500 BG and it is one of my favorite...
Two things, St. Croix Avids, not Avid-X, have regular guides. The other is a youtube video at FujikogyoCoLtd I tried to link that and wasn't able to.
