Super User rippin-lips Posted February 14, 2014 Super User Posted February 14, 2014 You can't put a Daiwa on a Shimano. Nooooo! Nice collection. 2 Quote
WiregrassRiverRat Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 You can't put a Daiwa on a Shimano. Nooooo! Nice collection. You can't triple stamp a double stamp Lloyd! 6 Quote

Its the lonely daiwa in this collection of shimanos, lol. How's the ZPI knots feel? They look nice but not seems comfortable to me. Also wondering why these kind of knobs are related to finesse just because they are smaller and lighter? Quote
Crankinstein Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Awesome collections!! and what makes them even better is they all seem to be lefty(just like mine) so I can visualize myself fishing them. 1 Quote
FishinCop646 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Switching hands after/while casting is wasted energy! Why switch if you don't have to!? Quote

Also wondering why these kind of knobs are related to finesse just because they are smaller and lighter? Pretty much, little lighter and smaller. Being aluminum with bearings installed makes it feel real smooth. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted February 16, 2014 Super User Posted February 16, 2014 The fishing rods I own are strewn throughout my house, but the shipping tubes are all stashed in my garage. Yesterday while walking past my rod tube jungle, I thought about this BR post and snapped a picture. You'd be hard pressed to name one rod brand that I don't own ('13 ***' being the latest addition). On the upside, at least you know the tackle opinions I voice are not flavored by brand loyality Roger 6 Quote

Super User aavery2 Posted February 22, 2014 Super User Posted February 22, 2014 Nice reel, you will have to give some feedback once you get a chance to fish it. Quote
bootytrain Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Nice reel, you will have to give some feedback once you get a chance to fish it. Taking it out this weekend. First impressions, the paint job and clear coat is very much subpar, but I knew that going in. Feels stiff and geary, hopefully it will loosen up and smooth out with use. Spool is super shallow, only 8.2 grams, and the spare "deeper" spool is only 8.4 grams. Going to see if it can throw lighter and farther than the Aldebaran BFS. Quote

I'd give those spool bearings a good cleaning and see what she has. I wonder if some of what you are feeling is related to the braking system. I love those knobs, any chance you could post the P/N from the schematic for those when you have a chance. Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted February 22, 2014 Super User Posted February 22, 2014 One of these new aluminum clutch would look fantastic on that reel http://www.hedgehog-studio.com/data/troutgeargarage/image/abu_cr_a_blk.jpg Quote

I'm pretty sure the knobs are ZPIs. They are actually a hollow hard plastic, not rubber. I'll check the schematic tonite and post the part number. Quote
