Lep,
I did read what you had wrote above and fully agree with your opinions and findings. As you know you turned me onto the Gosen and we somewhat took that ride together fishing it during the same season and coming to the same conclusions.
I too believe the Japanese lines are true and...
I had such high hopes for the Goshen as it looked so pretty on the pink adorned reel, which is an important attribute we will all agree. Bittersweet expensive porgy sand line now.
The lack of pulling power was really discerning for me as stated. I was under the impression that my knots were all...
Speaking of which, just pulled the trigger from Japan. Done and done on the new 1501pg . Sometimes we all just need a little tap tap to be convinced to take out the plastic lol.
I have loved me some Shimano Ocea Jiggers since the early 2000’s . Have never failed me and have been fished hard, 1500p and 2000p’s. All self serviced and always upgraded smoothdrags and handles.
Just re-upped on new 1501hg and 2001nrhg for this past summer/fall season. They worked...
After fishing with some slow pitch rods this summer up until now for many different fish I’m excited to give them a shot at Tog.
All of my slow pitch rods are like pencils compared to my Rodgeeks 733.
Followed suit with Sir Lep… I went with a 50mm Eva knob, added pink for Capt Mike on the Catalina.
Hooked up with some Nantucket Flatties on the Ballistica/ Grappler ML combo and the handle felt good for me.
I will second Lep’s Loctite recommendation , all things AliExpress handle screw wise...
I found the same results fishing last year with the pink twine. My fishing partner and I were constantly breaking off and I was using FG knots for both of us.
For the longest time I was of the impression that my knots were not holding because of how fine and slick the line was. Had to be my...
I have recently been enjoying both SPJ style rods Palmarius and for the bargain Goofish .
I have had the Palmarius #3 and #4 out on Nantucket Shoals for fluke and bsb and the Goofish yellow and blue ( same weight as the Palmarius) in the Gulf of Maine for haddock, pollack, ling cod, and...

Looks like you Gents had a beautiful day on the water and you hung some up to boot. What color swivels and sunglasses lenses were you guys using, seems like they were producing?!!!
Lep,
You diggin your Grappler J ML still? Picked one up , but have not wet her yet, I see some on sale at another place so wondering if I should grab a second to put with another Ballistic ?
Dont usually double up on things without trying , but you have been pretty spot on thus far.
Can somebody please get one of these. Never-mind, I say we as a small group agree to purchase in whatever color or flavor we like and do a group Capt Mike outing or headboat day.
The deal isn’t the best fish, but who’s screws stay in the longest and I’m not talking about our noggins! No...
