Any chance of the Slow Taper special being back in production?

How did your 63 Lunakia break?

Tim! Nice to hear from you. I sure need to get better at feathering a spinning reel. Never quite seem to get it just right despite studying several videos on YouTube.

Looks nice!

Personally I believe spinning tackle is the way to go for light lures. You have to spend a lot of money to make a BFS reel effectively cast 1 gram or below. I spent $150 on an after market spool for...

Mostly twitching, but I will swim a paddle tail bait. Years back when I was doing saltwater fishing I used to follow a Long Island native, John Skinner, who is a very accomplished fluke (summer...

Probably a bug with their website. Seems to be fixed now.

Like Randy said… happens from time to time. Tenryu has disappeared too. I’m sure they’ll fix it once they are done with their holiday.

Nice colors on the gills.

I received mine (511 L) earlier than expected. Fished it today (with Ester) on a quick pre-work trip. It certainly has more power than the Finetail 63 SUL. Feels crisp and it’s a bit stiffer than my...

Congrats! Quite a gut on it.

Congrats!!

I gave in and ordered the 511L Banshee. Looking forward to fish with it. Might be next weekend before I have it in my hands. I am also mostly running into small crappie now. The average size was...

Amazon Japan sure has some great prices! I had picked up a Palms Native Egeria for $110 or $115 a couple of months back. Typically it goes for $150ish. The Majorcraft Finetail Glass (stream version,...

The Lunakia I have is 610 with tubular tip and it is not as soft as Phenix Mirage. If I recall correctly, that is the blank you built on. Not sure how the shorter solid tip models would compare, but...

Would love to hear of your experience with the 63 Lunakia. They usually ship through DHL… which is quick. Hopefully they will do the same in this case.

Still not received tracking info? I’ve never had this issues with JDM Tackle Heaven. But tbh I don’t order a whole lot with them. Typically it’s Digitaka. However, JDM Tackle Heaven usually have a...

I’ve used Varivas PE lines (Infinity x8 0.3#, Area Master Limited Super Premium 0.175#, and their BFS PE line 0.6#) and Daiwa Gekkabijin PE 0.2# (I think rated to 3.8 lbs). All of them, other than...

Looks nice with the Zenon. This is the 610. 485072

The last rod I ordered from them was shipped late. I received an email from them saying that it was out of stock and that they are receiving a new shipment from the manufacturer. Took 3-4 days for...

You could give denatured alcohol a try. Isopropyl alcohol 90% could work too but I haven’t used the latter so not sure if it would work well.

Congrats Randy! I have just one Forest Abalone spoon and it always produces for trout. Hopefully I can get my hands on more of them.

Do we look forward to some YouTube videos soon?

I haven’t used that particular blank but I like NFC HM 7’4” (I think or could be 7’3”). Have a spinning rod built using that blank. One of my my favorite domestic blanks. Giving the p700 is of NFC’s...

The new banshee models are in stock at Digitaka as of last night.

You are a 100% right about the “feel.” We all differ in some ways when it comes to that. I have a moderate action UL blank (I think Gen 1 St Croix but I could be wrong) that is sold under clearance...

Nice to see you got to get out on the water.

I’m curious to learn why you like stiffer rods. My rods include Area Trout, Hybrid Light Game, Ajing, and Mebaru. Couple of BFS trout steam rods, but like Randy said these are a whole different...
