  1. None of the rods are made with 36 or 40 ton carbon. Primary difference is the guide choice. Stainless SiC K / KW guides on Forged Titanium K / KW / RV (rv on 9'7 and 10'7) Grips a slightly different on the 8'7 and 7'7 when comparing the two series of rods.
  2. Received a 2500 sdh last week...I dig it. Love the look of the new daiwa rotors on their spinners.....
  3. I moved way out on cape cod in september.... 17/20 weekends rained...half were monsoon like...followed up by 40mph winds...then monday tuesday were beautiful...I feel your pain.
  4. I have a few lexa reels standard, winn, hd, etc. I built a century for the 400 Tw. Didn't put all that much time on it and the outings I did use it....wasn't impressed....may have been more to do with the rod than the reel. I can say that I don't share the same sentiment as MTL50. It's a more cmpact frame (400) I also look at stock handles as a starting point. Tons of upgrades available for cheap if the handle isn't the length you prefer. Not saying the handle shouldn't be right....from the beginning...but some have preferences that don't line up with stock offerings.... I magged a saltiga 15 slow pitch....for casting....can't blame the reel for not liking the excessively long handle....sorta apples to apples.....which reminds me...gotta find a handle I like for it.
  5. Slotted rotors along the side wall clear debris and water by taking advantage of centrifugal force. Reduced weight of that part lowers startup inertia. And It looks custom
  6. When new, is one thing...when used, and sediment accumulates like plaque at the gum line...is another. Also, how constrictive is the seal, what is the durameter of the seal, and the surface area of contact etc. It's the weakest seal that fails....water doesn't always wick passed a seal...it gets pulled in. Which is why you can dunk almost any reel...it's the cranking that usually determines the level of sealing.
  7. In a sealed reel...you have to factor in the mass of the spool shaft that enters and exits the reel body... not enough room....when that shaft enters and exits..the pressure variances will seek out a weakness.....like a syringe.
  8. Reach out to NJcustomerservice@folsomcorp.com Ask Cindy, they should have some at a good price.
  9. That video needs more screw drivers.....
  10. It also takes up valuable air space, which can serve to pull in water.
  11. Amazing that people shop at stop and shop in Orleans when shaws, right up the road is dollars cheaper for the same individual items.
  12. how many years was it since you blasted me with that half lb bank sinker? LMAO
  13. 1950's pens are penn designs. Their spinners are designs by contracted chinese factories. Now they bought a factory of their own...and picked up where they left off. So penns best was the best of the factory making the products. When penn left that factory. The company I just left filled that void......Boy was I a pain in the ass to that factory's engineers.
