  1. Might want to wait till after icast they might be upgrading the 70 or the casitas? The current casitas will cast anything weightless and cast really well but if I were to choose between the 70 and the casitas I’d pick the 70 it castes Weightless baits easy and it’s solid, smoother on the retrieve.
  2. I was looking at it on tw but I passed on it I’m not the biggest fan of the arashi line up but I’m thinking I might reconsider that now.
  3. What other rods you been considering?
  4. You can get the casitas and buy an mgl spool from rays studio all on eBay for about 110$ bucks
  5. Its got a good parabolic bend but it’s not a noodle, it’s hard to explain? I can tell you this though I like it way better than my e6x7 foot medium heavy fast cranking rod, now that rod is definitely a noodle. I previeously owned a Powell deisel glass and that was a really great rod but it lacked sensitivity it felt like glass because it was glass but great action this rod has that same action but with a ton of sensitivity.
  6. Aaron martins is master finness he uses the smallest of hooks I personally can’t fish like him I believe what he says but it’s just harder to copy his techniques.
  7. I read this article on the Drudge Report.....
  8. Send it back for an exchange could be factory defect it happens with even the most expensive reels. I just recently got a chronarc I had to send back for an exchange because it was defective.
  9. I started with the strike king bitsy bugs from wall mart and a grub trailer or I would cut the end of a Chigger craw and use it as a trailer.
  10. I really like duckett rods However I prefer glass or composites for cranking I’m not into graphite for cranking just prefrance, I agree that the duckett cranking rods are a bit noodley but some people prefer that when cranking, your going to excel with those rapala dt6s or any slow cranking crankbaits.
  11. 3 pushing 4 i would call it a 4 and move on.
  12. It is very tragic, but no freak accident by any means. I’m sure this type of thing happens more frequently than reported and the Indonesian ppl are probably very aware of the dangers, if I myself being from the states was to go live in one of these country’s I wouldn’t last a week! Probably get my butt kicked by some monkey or something?
  13. I’m liking the wake baits not many wake baits out on the market rite now with a crank bait profile.
  14. Power shot ...... 6 inch Robo worm fat on a 2/0 light wire ewg with a three eighth ounce drop shot weight.
  15. I try to be content with the little I’ve been blessed with but yet I still feel the need for more ??‍♂️
  16. Ive lied quite a few times to my wife of 12 years about where I was at but was fishing instead. She always finds out always so I just tell her the truth now. She doesn’t get upset about it like she used to. Now lies about how much I spend on tackle well I still haven’t been able to break that habit ? “ Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive “
  17. Swapping out your hooks to short shank ewgs might help also, the slight inward bend of the hooks help not only to keep a fish pinned but it also helps to get threw cover without as many snags.
  18. So the conclusion of the matter is (unless shimano changes their description) that it’s made of plastic or “Hagane” well that just sucks ... ci4 is better than “hagane” I don’t know? But I had the Nasci with the hagane stamp on it an that reel was a disappointment..I sold it on Craigslist for half what I paid for it that’s how much I didn’t like the reel. I have a couple of reels made of ci4 magnesium, so I trust that material, but I never liked that term “ hagane” it basically just means it’s strong. Like you said it’s just marketing.
  19. Does it have an aluminum frame? Because I’m just reading hagane body in the description? The curado 200 k describes an aluminum frame with ci4 side plates?
  20. I’m sorry for the losses.
  21. I wonder what diawa is bringing to the table?
  22. Sucks..... Jacob wheeler is bad ass!!!
