Pretty much every tournament I've fished, stated in the polygraph section that we agree to abide by the results of the polygraph. Yes, a polygraph is not admissible in court, and without contestants...

People offering more than ask has been a common thing these last few years. A realtor friend told me that pretty much every listing he works with gets more offers over than under (actually none...

Every one here has been a Team format, but there aren't many of them. You're in Texas, so Big Bass tournaments are probably more popular. Isn't the Skeeter Owner's Tournament, annually held on Lake...

Not comparable, in my humble opinion. I don't know what price point that reel is in, but if its in the low end, Daiwa & Shimano do outsource their lower tier reels to other countries, but I believe...

Team tournament - 50-50 split. Every team tournament I've fished has split the 1099's, as they should.

Lighter is the biggest thing I noticed and the main reason I have one on order to try. The newer verson of the solid core body was another plus. Normally, I’m not a fan of the DC reels, but I’m...

For the most part, everything out there works, if the fiberglass is in good shape to begin with. Not all lasts the same. I don’t think anything brings shine back to oxidized, faded fiberglass, it...

Isn’t reel repair nothing more than parts replacement? (Obviously figuring out which part)

So is this the thread that lets people with the “can’t catch fish at 70mph” opinion air out their frustration?

I have a little harder time skipping with a heavy rod, but I haven't put the time in to get better at it since it works well enough with a med heavy.

My thought was, a JDM Vanford is $178, and the Daiwa equivalent Ballistic MQ (named Caldia in the JDM version) is only $138. I have a sneaky feeling that a repair with two way postage is going to...

CI4+ (second & 3rd generation), I like, but if you’re refering to the original CI4, if it needs any major repair, I’d seriously consider getting a new reel. I had a hard time finding parts for that...

Sorry, but only losing 1/2 mph after adding dual poles and an Ultrex (even if it wasn’t the 36v version), on a 150 on top of that, seems more unbelievable… unless you were not fully optimized on your...

In 35 years of tournament fishing, I've never heard anyone playing music at blast off. Probably would be distracting to those that want to hear what the tournament director is recapping. On the...

I like the refreshed handles, especially on the spinning models, but if its the exact same blank, the top tier blanks have exceeded GLX years ago. Still great, but not worth $500, in my humble...

I had to call for a tow on Lake St Clair a couple of years ago. That tow savings paid for my fees the next 20 years. I believe this also covers your tow vehicle when towing your boat on the road as...

They are growing on me. As a cork guy, they seem just as comfortable and not any more slippery when wet (cork is only slippery when dirty and wet). They are definitely more durable, easy to clean,...

25 Tempest is pretty close to a 25 T2.

I thought the orange wires were the dedicated wires for the graphs. They should be hooked directly to the battery, so not sure why there are dead.

Are you claiming that hooks cant get into neophrene?

I dont believe the Bantam is designed to be “heavier duty” than the Metanium. Its simply the reel below the Metanium, and hits a lower price point. The aluminum body isnt any stronger than the...

I’ve had both (as well as other brands). Both are good (and no, theres no movement in the Atlas), but if I had to buy and put one on by choice, I’d pick Bob’s. I would also seriously consider the...

There’s only a 9” difference between a ZX250 and a ZXR20. Its a full foot difference in the FXR/ZXR20 vs the FXR/ZXR21. The difference is noticeable, but yes, shorter is more nimble. You can run...

Depends on the water you fish, but the 20 is not slightly shorter than the 21, its a full foot. That means you have another foot on the front deck, another foot in all the front compartments, and...

Spool width doesn't contribute to casting distance, spool diameter (spool height) does. A cheap, long casting reel is the Lew's BB1 Pro ($160'ish of Ebay new). For everything else, consider buying...
