The casting dynamics of a float 'n fly might be tricky with a BFS casting reel - the long leader between fly and float may make it tricky to properly load the rod unless the float is quite heavy. ...

I haven't checked the model but I believe the intended application would likely be area fishing UL spoons or cranks on very light line. Might not be brilliant with jigs though due to softer tip and...

Just had a quick look at Graphiteleader website, there's a new Corto AT out which I guess none of us will ever see in the flesh because its $1100!

I'm not far off pushing the button on a small format shallow spool JDM spinning reel - I've got only Shimano spinners at present but a recent session with smallies on 3lb reminded me about how useful...

Whilst fighting a good smallie on 3lb line, I remembered the backwind trick. Having watched many of Randy's videos, include fish-fighting and seen the continuous slipping drag problem, using a reel...

Preliminary feedback on Graphiteleader Corto Prototype GNCPS-612L-T.

As the code indicates, L power, tubular tip. Designed for fishing aji jigs on FC or Ester.

My initial response to Randy's...

I've just ordered a Graphiteleader Cort Nuovo Ajing jigging rod, 6'1" 3lb/4g with the tubular tip. It's got the same blank tech as some of the Evergreen bass rods (Super Quattro cloth) which I've...

Well it's not just a spinner...it's THE spinner :cool:

Some models come with singles, I've used them I think but don't recall any specific differences between singles and trebles. There is definitely potentially to make a fairly snagless spinner by...

I wish! They are made by Smith (Japan) and the reason I go to the trouble of getting them is that they don't cause line twist. The built in power swivel and offset weight design together work...

Thanks Gents, I really appreciate the warm welcome.

I am, as the Australians say, a Saffer. We are a pretty diverse bunch, I'm English speaking (we have 11 major languages) of German, Irish and Afrikaans descent. In general, like the Malawian and...

Thanks for the warm welcome Randy! I'm happily still learning JDM but my main advantage is that I got going early and met some real experts along the way. Happy to answer any questions if I can. ...

I'd be interested to hear if you end up ordering one or two, some interesting blanks there, especially the solid graphite ones...

Love your chub belly spins, need to tie some up and give them a...

Hi all. Some JDM trout, aji and mebaring blanks are available from Matagi.co.jp, a long established rod building component business. The T-Russel blanks are extremely high quality and very popular...
