    I've linked to Oser Outdoors' channel before. He gets some nice fish up there in Narragansett Bay. Its a channel worth following.

    Daiwa reels

    That's an easy-peasy reel to work on. What's wrong with them?

    Daiwa reels

    I can't comment with any authority, as I've never had a warranty claim on any reel - and would handle any such repair myself. I'd rather just buy the parts and do it myself, rather than pay two-way postage and wait months for someone else to maybe get it right. Basic maintenance is easy, but...

    Wanna build a rod but don't have a table-top wrapping setup to spin on the threads?

    Yes, according to posts I've seen on the definite web board, www.rodbuilding.org. I notice that on this last build video no color preserver was used - which NFC says in required.

    Me too. But that Boone bag looks good.

    So you just HAVE To have a high-end fluke reel color-matched to your rod wraps?

    My grandson intro'ed me to Swedish Fish, but I'll be damned if I'd commission a rod like that. Now maybe Almond Joy or Mounds Bar, but NOT Swedish Fish. Never!

    Every Winter I put up a Video like this

    And this might be the best one yet. An American manufacturer building rods from scratch. I need to look deeper into their offerings.

    Thread Edit The first set of pix in this thread were of silk thread, NOT this new carbon tape technology. My mistake, and I own it.

    Here's a few more interesting applications of this new rod tech. From NFC/Edge Rod's Instagram account obviously. If the logon window appears and you don't have an Instagram account, just use the "X" to close it. The vids will then play. Dragon Scale Trim Abalone Trimmed The flyrod guys...

    Stradic is a fine reel.

    Heard an Interesting Van Staal Rumor

    Wouldn't work for me at any price. I'm a leftie and prefer my spinners to be cranked with my right hand. Also, I prefer a slower retrieve for my bottom fishing (fluke/tog) reels.

    I also like the carbon fiber guide frames. Looks like North Fork Composites (Gary Loomis) emulated Daiwa's high-end AGS guide system, except he'll actually sell a set to you. 👍 Unlike Daiwa. 👎

    I hear ya. I understand that paint job is $5-7K extra on certain German cars/SUVs. A fool and his money . . .

    So you just HAVE To have a high-end fluke reel color-matched to your rod wraps?

    Have you discovered the "Baby Blue" Power Pro Super Slick line yet? Perfect match for your outfits. Geez, I did forget, gotta go with matching-color baits as well. These Blue Fuze Gulps are the bomb. Even more so when fished on a blue-themed outfit.

    Wanna build a rod but don't have a table-top wrapping setup to spin on the threads?

    Nah, I think it looks kinda cool - like a "murdered out" full carbon custom rod. That's why some guys wrap black blanks with completely black thread. Not my style, but it does look legit when complete. What the vid didn't show is that some guys doing this carbon tape thing do put a thin trim...
