    Gulp! Sale

    Thank you Matt! - ordered those and some of the on-sale 5" grubs in various colors as well. Actually, I prefer the 5" size for my needs. Less short bites.

    Another Braid-to-Leader Knot that's pretty straightforward

    Its my go-to for my blackfish leaders. It flies thru the guides. I've gone to it because one of most favoritest tog rods (a now-discontinued Daiwa Proteus SS H) has the tiniest guides you'll ever see, and no other knot, not even the FG will cleanly reel-back thru them like the PR will. The PR...

    Have you tried the PR Bobbin Knot? Faster than the FG and stronger as well, from personal experience.

    Another Braid-to-Leader Knot that's pretty straightforward

    Though I stick with the PR Bobbin Knot for my blackfishing braid to shock leaders, I cannot do the "bobbin thing" on the water. If by some happenstance I do lose my leader, then this is a knot I would consider tying whilst bobbing around out there. What I never use is the Double Uni, as I've had...

    Of course not! A pink (or red) trimmed reel clashes with his Charter Special's guide wrap's light blue trim. It is an unforgivable "fishing fashion" choice! Naah. What he really "needs" is a reel like this to make it a proper match. :rolleyes: My sky-blue trimmed Daiwa OG Zillion Coastal with...

    LiTugboat is correct, I was not aware that Abu cheaped out on this new version of the Revo X Winch. Graphite frames are to be avoided for what we do. What they offer in corrosion resistance they steal in rigidity. Any frame flex at all and the drive gears will micro-misalign, causing faster...

    Not for me. Too fast of a ratio. I'd recommend going with a Revo Winch, Revo X WInch, or my personal favorite the Daiwa Tatula 150P. All have ratios in the 5:1 range. When used for pulling bottom fish, mo' slower is mo' better.

    Blackfish Jigs and colors

    I agree - color appears to be irrelevant. I have good friends that use unpainted versions and they catch as well as any painted color(s). Can I say that on a SPECIFIC day a painted jig won't do better? Nope, I cannot. But in general, it does seem that SH27 is right. Having said that, I still...

    This Is Why I Will Not work on Daiwa's MQ reels

    And will never own one either, for that matter. Just when you think Shimano has over-engineered their spinning reels with WAY too many parts, Daiwa comes along and says "Hold my beer!" They went away from their solid original LT reels, like the Ballistic LT and Procyon LT and went with this...

    Yep. I forgot to suggest that. Thanks Avenger. (y)
