HELLO!------- Anybody home?

Just curious, does anyone here use a 7.1 gear ratio for spinnerbaits. I know they are primarily for plastics, jigs, and other bottom contact baits.

Glad the problem could be fixed without all the hassle of returningthe reel for replacement. If you are like me you don't want to be without your stuff. Hootie

This may be silly, but did you put backing on the spool first? If not not, the line will spin on the spool.

Can everyone on this forum say they have NEVER ever had a problem with a Shimano product? I dont care how good they are, you can get a dud in anything.

I contacted them today via online chat. I was told it is aluminum. The catalog is a misprint. Hootie

The new Enigma has an aluminum frame. Hootie

Is that French?

Ya gotta love gettin what ya want and savin money too! Congrats, well done!

Curado 200G vs 200E What are the differences. I notice most people prefer the 200E. Thanks, Hootie Does this mean the 200G's are not so good?

I have noticed on this forum that there is no need to ask which One of anything if one of them is Shimano. Ha Ha!!

Thank for your direct, straightforward, and educated answer. I respect your advice because of everyone's opinion of your service. I think it is totally unnecessary for things to have get all complicated and in my opinion, just plain GOOFY.Thanks much DVT. Hootie I know my written thoughts will probably get me banned from the site. So, if it does guys, I'll miss ya. This has been a bad day!

Both spinning and casting, although I can't see what difference it would make, gears are gears, and moving parts are moving parts. Nevertheless here is a list. Abu Garcia STX 2 Revo S 1 Lews Speed Spool 2 Assorted BPS reels Also, I was told not to use this stuff on anything other Quantum reels. And do you actually use different lubes on spinning gear than on casting gear?? And to further clarify, I was only going to use the oil, not the grease. Hope this is enough info. Thanks, Hootie

???

Can I get any experienced opinions on Quantum Hot Sauce, use it or don't use it. What other product do you recommend? I have had some guys tell me Hot Sauce gums up the works. Thanks, Hootie

Just so happens, I have both rods. I would take the Ducketts hands down. Actually I wish I had never bought the Mojos. Don't get me wrong, they are an excellent rod. They are just a whole lot heavier than the Ducketts. That lightness has spoiled me. I don't like to criticize one product over another, since they are all great, so it just comes to personal choice. I work at BPS, so I am handling these rods all day long, and to me , it seems there is none lighter in the store. I suggest, take your reel with you, and mount it on both rods, then you will see and you can make a more informed choice. I will also say, we do sell more Mojos than Ducketts, but that could be because of the $50.00 price difference. Anyway, good luck with your choice. GOOD FISHING!!! Hootie

I am one of the Cincinnati BPS guys, and I think they are great. I know for sure a couple of the guys in the fishing dept. have bought them already, including myself.

I think it's great to be enthusiastic about what you like! I know I am.

I take it, you prefer the Citica?

I take it, you prefer the Citica?

Anyone else for some Shimano lemmingade?

Love it!! You guys are just too witty!!

I used it all last year. A great line in my opinion. My local BPS store discontinued it last summer. I emailed Vicious to request a catalog and a list of stores in my area that carry it. They not only sent me a catalog, but also a hat, 2 bulk spools of the very 2 that I use, 14# green and 8# green. Also several Vicious decals. Gotta love freebies! Hootie

Yeah, how did he do that??

I already see people giving negative reviews on this reel before it even hits the stores. Makes me know that a lot of opinions are based on pure stupidity.
