Saito is on IG.

I think they were referring to his older videos. He definitely was casting more than 4gr in most of those videos.

He recently been promoting the G411 quite a bit so, natural he is using it more.
I appriciate the info. Could you provide a link to his Insta, I can't find it.

Re: Baitcaster Casting Video

Ahh good memories brought back from travelling the northern part of the South Island of NZ, some familiar scenes and Countdown supermarkets "Woolworths" ha ha they were great. Those streams were hard to fish, they run super fast and are icy cold, the river stones also give way under foot and 3 feet...

Re: Ultralight Tools and Hardware

Texas Tackle 4 inch will do down to 0, it's the best I have found so far.

Re: Returning JDM Issues

Still no resolution ya'll. I have been to Walgreens like 4 times. They either say the QR code is invalid or they don't know how to ship or get a label with an account number. Gonna call before driving there today, still hoping for resolution. Is this the Stradic that you had issues with on an earli...

That is a heck of a build, looks like a really fun combo. How is the Graywolf working out?

Re: 22 Aldeberan BFS Line Choice Help

PE is not normally referenced in #, but in No. The number relates directly to line diameter, regardless of # test. Example would be PE 1.2, which is .185 mm, the size of Power Pro 15# . Or, PE 1, which is .165 mm, the size of Sufix 832 6#. Referencing # rating doesnt coorsipond with line size as too...

Re: MC SQUARED DOUBLE Ceramic bearing kits

I put them in my Abu 2500 and they are stellar. I'd say better than KTF's double bb that are on a KTF spool I have. If I am not mistaken the KTF double bb (and others you might find) is a bearing stuffed in another bearing. The MC Squared is made from scratch and you can visually tell the difference...

Re: Balsa Lures

Built a little collection of balsa's the last 6 months since diving into trout fishing. I've added about a dozen more since this picture. (there is one plastic in the pic) All of them have seen water, at least to get them tuned, most have been fished. I don't even reach for the plastics anymore, the...

Re: What have I got???

You found yourself a little treasure box. Unused, in the box probobly have a value of $400 to $600 from what I have seen on Yahoo Japan.

Here is a rod on ebay that has the very same guides.

Re: Travel Rod : Studio Composite Versus North Fork

I've got the Studio Composite 7603 (non-travel) and it's built like a tank. I've used it for a wide variety of species, including 15lb Snook and Stripers and even a 50lb Tarpon. Under those circumstance, I was using 50# Braid (PE3) and up to a 40# leader. It's one of the few bass rods that I have t...

Re: Minimum parts needed to tune an Abu 1500c to be BFS?

All 4 of mine are easier to cast and do cast further than my Conquest BFS and Millionaire CT, even with the factory centrifugal brake. That is interesting. From my previous experience those old school reels with non-disenganged levelwind are not very good reel for bfs as the mechanism itself added ...

Re: Minimum parts needed to tune an Abu 1500c to be BFS?

I'm not going to point myself as the expert, but I did complete a full Avail build a couple of months ago and did it in steps. As you mentioned, I would start with the spool and bearings (Abu won't accept the Hedgehog BFS Air, just the Air). Spool size depends on what you will be throwing and line s...
