PG = power gear; lower ratio, slower but stronger retrieve for fighting strong fish
HG = high gear; higher ratio, faster retrieve
XG = if not mistaken, this is the new version with the X-gear; smooth and powerful at the same time

if i'm off pls help set the record straight

XG old version also got d, the latest 1 xtra smoother n xtra powerful.

Stupid pacu pulled my reel and rod into the water and now it's gone.Damn! Luckily it's not an expensive setup but still! arghhhhh

Oh I won't use my vanquish to fish so soon.Was fishing at eak and pulling up many juvenile sized pacus.

And btw I accidentally broke my new unused shimano rod by testing the flex of the rod and suddenly, snap.arghhh

whereabout?

Hi all Anglers,

Obtained the bearing from Bro WWW today. The bearing is rated at ABEC7 SiC bearings in short, ceramic bearings.

Below are my test and review.

Reel: Shimano Curado 200G6
Spool: with 15lb line approx 100-m
Modification: Fine tuning and drag upgraded

Standard bearing: 30 seconds
Boka bearing with rubber: 34 seconds
Boka bearing without rubber: 40 seconds
Boka bearing without rubber + lube: 27 seconds

Finding the time kind of interesting tho. The orange rubber seal actually touches the inner roller and how come it's faster versus without orange rubber seal,it became slower.

Funnily enough, i realised that the Boka bearing without rubber and lubricated can sustain a high RPM within 10 seconds. Once it's reaching 10 seconds, i could hear the spool slowing down as if there is certain light resistance on the shaft.

My conclusion:
I could not explain why the bearing is slower, particularly when it's basically skeletal.

The bearing sustaining at high RPM for the first 10 seconds probably due to the weight of the bearing which is actually lighter compared to stainless steel bearings. Which also explains the quick start/ease of starting the bearing rotation, instead of a heavier bearing.

Looking at the bright side, how often or who can actually cast for 10 seconds before the lure drops into the H2O? Having such sustain of high RPM for the first 10 seconds, could actually explains why we are able to hit further distance with such bearing upgrade! For a RM40 upgrade parts, it is easily upgraded and inexpensive to replace

Well, that's my take... what's your take or comments?

yeah 1dollar bro ... last i saw it, it carried a sticker price in that range
go go make money ... heheheheh
not a bad deal for a T3 that ... i add on RM100+ can get me 1 daiwa coastal 2500 with spare spool + 1 okuma VS15 and 1 okuma VS20 hehehhehehe ... opportunity cost + personal pref i guess
katsu bro, that ultegra is msian made if i'm not mistaken ... hence the cheaper price compared with a MIJ version which can be around 600
the ABU Neo is good price if good condition
get the best of both worlds, buy both ! LOLOLOLOLOL

RBCs have it
matter of time for lpbc to have it
always a matter of cost

prefer a more metallic sound .. hehehhehehe
but yeah, salute the fella

lol
guaranteed to land big one

nice...

caught where?

hye guys wassup, anybody knows a good casting place near kuala selangor? thanks
