This thread is proof that resurrection IS POSSIBLE !

Got a couple of Rattle Flashes, very nice finish on the Shad and Blue Chrome ( holographic "waves" that look kool ), good hooks but I don 't think they are any better than other lipless cranks. As for the others haven 't tried any.

Here we go .... again. Two GYCB Pro Staffers, members of this forum ( Triton Mike & JT Bagwell ) have confirmed in several ocassions that both, GYCB and Kinami, are the exact same bait.

Add to that computer "impaired" and that makes more of us.

Send all that useless trash to me ..... you can start by sending me the Ranger and the Hummer.

Forget the pattern, I 've had Bagley baits since 1980 and have never seen that lip in any of the models I can remember about right now.

Don 't call it junk box, it 's politically incorrect ..... call it "Hall of Shame". ;D

BS

The speed of the reel, most of them have a high IPT. Raul, is it fair to say that that's only a disadvantage if the angler wants a slow-moving bait? And a disadvantage with baitcasters with low IPT if the angler wants a fast retrieve? I use spinning equipment and fish cranks a lot and there's no problem at all that I can see. Nope, the disadvantage comes with deep and extra deep divers, they just don 't like being reeled in at high speed, some offer such high resistance that it feels like you are reeling in a bucket, others when retrieved at high speeds roll on their side and don 't work at all.

I 'm a tackle junkie, I don 't care if it 's good or bad as long as I have it ....... nuff said !

A GLoomis IMX makes a match made in heaven with a Chronarch Mg.

LC beat me to it.

Hispanic ..... whatever that 's supposed to mean :-?. Let 's see, my dad was Puerto Rican son of Spaniards but as you know Spaniards have a little bit of everything in their blood :, my mom is mexican, daughter of mexicans but we know that from her mother 's side they were Spaniards ( which have a little bit of everything ), from her father 's side her grandfather was Russian and Russians like Spaniards have a little bit of everything. I normally don 't discuss ethniticity ( touchy subject ) and less I can brag about my ancestry because being most of it Spanish we can 't be completely shure what you have in your blood. If you know the story of Spain you know what I 'm talking about.

In a galaxy far, far away.

Which ones you bought ?

Glad there aren 't many mexicans around BR, other way I would have to go up there and whup u good for disclosing one of my secrets.

Daiwa like any other manufacturer has products for any budget, one of the best reels for 70 dollars is the Procaster 6+1 ( PR100H/HL ) which is being clearanced everywhere ( most probably discontinued already ), it 's better than any Shimano in that price range.

You can belong to either side: To group A who is ready to shell out the money for what looks to be a "good deal" specially when it comes to new products with absolutely no track record. To group B of skeptical selfish sobs who like to watch the fight from oustide the ring that don 't shell out a penny until group A has shelled the money getting and trying a product with absolutely no track record.

Isn 't it comforting to know you are not alone in the world ?

Who ? And no, I won 't even think about polishing my red Pixys, I like them mattè as they are.

Ichiban was selling them NIB for $275 about 3 or 4 months ago, you can get one in mint condition ( slightly used ) for about $210-230.

Don 't blame me, you ask I reply and that 's it.

Math class 101 guyz: At current prices $300 dollars for an Alphas Itö + 35 dollars Dremel + 10 bones polish & dremel accesories + 60 bones Alphas aftermarket spool + 45 small parts kit Total = $450 for a shiny Alphas Itö with killer looks Not bad, you can get a Steez for the same price. ;D
