  1. you have to go through the files , it's in there ...
  2. not me !! there are 15 different lines i'd choose before i'd spool up with that stuff , i tried it a long time ago and hated it , too springy and way too much stretch . Seriously , really don't know why you guys use that stuff , I'd go with P-Line products instead , just as cheap and a lot better .
  3. if you don't like it , you can use it as a Slinky that line has a LOT of memory !!!
  4. the cardinal rule for buying rod and reel , buy the best you can afford ....
  5. wait until you get your first custom rod , things will never be the same !!!!
  6. aw come on , i was hoping that you got fed up with that reel and threw it in the lake
  7. the Revo Toro is super smooth and a tank of a reel , like Jon g said , as far as this reel , don't worry about bearing count ...
  8. Abu garcia can get you the gear ratio you want if it's compatible for that reel , call them and ask them , ask for Sonny ...
  9. i actually went there today ! thay are primarily salt water , the owner Monte does custom rod building , went there for a repair . thanks
  10. all my rods havethe EVA tapered butts on them , means they won't work , i'm currently looking to improve on my rod transportation right now . looking into incorporating the 3'' pvc tube i use now by using the slots for 2 x 6's on the inside of the truck bed , i have a tundra long bed , i'll post pics one day when i figure it out , my plan so far is to make spots for (3) 3'' x 10' laying long ways in the bed lying ascross the tops of the verticl 2 x 6's ...
  11. they look good but the reviews for then aren't very hopeful
  12. i know you are asking specifically about the tatula , but give a look see at the Lew's super duty , quite a nice reel that is offered in three gear ratio's and is a stout reel for how light it is ..
  13. i buy all my components from Mudhole and occasionally from C&M (Acid Rod ) , for blanks , i buy from Mudhole and i am interested in buying some blanks from GetBitOutdoors ( seems the best place to buy NFC blanks )
  14. the power rating on rods vary tremendusly with different rod manufactures , my St.Croix Big Nasty is a 9' heavy powered rod that is rated 3-8 oz. , it can easily handle lures up to 13 + oz.
  15. probably can since it is a medium fast action
  16. why not just get a Lew's BB2 pro ?? that's what i'm going to replace my Toro 51 with , going to have Lew's put in a 5.1:1 gear set
  17. http://www.mikesreelrepair.com/schematics/displayimage.php?album=search&cat=0&pid=701#top_display_media click on it ...
  18. i'm wondering if your reel stem is bent , making the spool face lean towards the rod , causing the line hitting the blank.
  19. if you guys are making them for yourselves , you should use some good lipless crankbaits like Red Eye Shads , a photo finish on them like that pumpkinseed would be awesome ..
  20. like the title says , anyone build a rod of a North Fork Composites HM-MB805-1 blank ?? it's a 8' MH extra fast blank , thanks .
  21. once you get a rod that will cast the bait , cast it out , let it sink to the bottom , then reel it along the bottom , similar to a jig but instead of dragging it then stoping , just drag it a touch faster , keeping it moving but still along the bottom .
  22. that pumpkin seed is awesome !!!! nice job
  23. some spinning combos would be good , i would think they would be easier to cast for ones who have never casted a rod before , i always see people get the push button spincast rods all balled up with the line inside the reel .
  24. ouch !!!
