I can't post pics anymore either, erased almost all my attachments in account and still only allows 500Kb. They had to change something, probably getting to be too much storage for the server. Quote

You just post the link the photo and it embeds the picture. Best part is that the picture can be pretty much as big as you want. 1 Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted July 6, 2017 Super User Posted July 6, 2017 Just a little teaser pic of an upcoming project that I'm currently working on. Quote
Big-Bass Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Sweet! Looks like an Ito with the new ZPI spool at the Tackle Trap and either some ZPI or SLP screws and accessories. I bet it will look great! Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted July 11, 2017 Super User Posted July 11, 2017 Parts delivery 1/3 New Zpi spool and some Hedgehog parts. 7.6g with Zpi Sic bearing is just crazy. Can't wait to see how it performs. 8 Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted July 11, 2017 Super User Posted July 11, 2017 was looking for a t rig rod for a while and was able to get my hands on the new GLX a while back and so i pulled the trigger a couple weeks ago. ended up going with the glx 853c and couldn't be happier with it at this point. i have a 852c and 853c in the nrx line and love them, but wanted something different for this rod. i had heard the glx was a hair more powerful than the nrx and i liked that it did not have recoil guides for this particular application. i honestly think this rod is just as good as the nrx i own. i paired it up with the aldebaran 51hg and was using 40# power pro braid. tossing a 1/8oz tungsten weight a 4/0 owner twistlock and whatever choice of plastic and it performed as well as i had hoped! i took it down to florida with me on vacation to get some casts in with it and get it slimed up to pass the @Goose52 test.... they didn't really want the t rig too bad, but i had one taker! 4 Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted July 11, 2017 Super User Posted July 11, 2017 @buzzed bait I've heard from both Bryan and Gary at TTT that the new Glx is right up there with the Nrx. The slightest bit heavier but in terms of sensitivity they are almost identical. 1 Quote

I'm not lying when I say I think it's every bit as good as the NRX. I'm limited to a couple outings with it, but stoked with it so far. Quote

ThatZX14Fella Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 I finally bought my first Lew's. It's a Tournament Lite. By far the best reel I've owned so far. Casts a mile, super smooth, and ridiculously light. I don't have any pictures of the reel and the rod I bought to put it on (H2O Ethos 6'6" MH), but I do have a picture of my new personal best that I caught within an hour of buying the new setup (bought it Tuesday). Still nothing compared to some of you guys, but its a huge bass to me. Didn't have a scale at the time (went to Academy and bought one after this), but I figure its around 3-3 1/2. Next brand of reels for me to try is Shimano. I've owned the older red and grey Caenen, which I just gave to my friend, but haven't tried any of their higher end reels. I was actually planning to get a Chronarch Ci4+, but the place I was going to buy from was out and tried to sell me the display model. I'm actually kinda happy they didn't have one. 4 Quote

If you're going for higher end Shimano, I'd save and get the MGL. Much better than the CI4+ Chronarch. Not saying they are bad, but might as well get the new and improved version. 1 Quote

The landscaping job I was working doesn't have anything to do right now, so I'm going to go job hunting next week. Quote
nocluefisher Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 Just got a Tatula Type R100xs in 8.1-1. Put it on my 7' MH Tatula xt. My first daiwa baitcaster. When I get my boat back this week from the marina I look forward to pitching around docks and structure with some jigs with it. Spooled it with some 20lb segaur senshi. Can't post pics anymore so you all can visualize how pretty it is. Quote

Super User kickerfish1 Posted July 29, 2017 Super User Posted July 29, 2017 Never bought a true BFS reel. Was told all the cool kids had one and if I didn't get one the bullies were going to steal my lunch money and give me a wedgie. Decided on an Airy Red mainly because of the spool being one of the best. Need to find a rod but hey it looks good with the the furniture so it may be a "couch queen" for now! 9 Quote
