What would you pay for reel service?

triple_illusion — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 20:09:08 +0000

Doing a little bit of market research, what would you guys be willing to pay for reel service? And can you breakdown what you expect to be done? What do you define as a basic clean, lube and service job? What would you expect to pay for your reel to be super tuned? And what do you define as super tuning?

Hi everyone. I’m currently looking at the Evergreen Kaleido TKIC Super Stallion for the purposes of frogging and flipping just by looking at the specs. How’s the taper on this rod. What do you guys use this rod for. Thanks!

Did some Photoshop mockups of items I wish existed. I think the reel cover and t-shirt would be most necessary to really have produced. Enjoy!

TD-itö 103M Custom Label Design

triple_illusion — Fri, 22 May 2026 18:52:08 +0000

A friend of mine had a couple used itös that needed servicing, and being ebay purchases he did not receive the original boxes for them. So, I used the opportunity for a fun little project. I did my own layout design, paying homage to the original itö box design, and made some labels for some spare boxes I had that work good for reel storage. I added some black foam to the inside to cushion the reels. It would be nice to do a proper production box, but that would be costly, so these will suffice for now. 🤣 Enjoy!

Steez gears into Type R+

triple_illusion — Sun, 03 May 2026 20:55:10 +0000

Hey Guys,

I ordered Steez 103HA gear and pinion for my Type R+, not realizing the Steez main gear does not have holes in it to accept the small plastic gear from the Type R+ that sits underneath it. Can anyone advise if the small metal gear from the 103HA (key #78) has straight edges on the inside hole? It cannot just be circular, it needs to lock into the drive shaft.

Or, if I am totally off, can anyone advise what other parts I need, OR if I need to get the gear and pinion from ANOTHER model of Steez altogether?

10 oz ain't what it used to be

dragon1 — Sat, 02 May 2026 01:57:24 +0000

I was fondly reminiscing about the OG Pixy days, hitting the 10 oz mark with a BFS UL rod was the deal.

Today, it's a bit different with some of the available JDM offerings. This Yamaga Blanks Blue Current III 82B is an 8'2" 2-piece rated up to 20 grams, and has 14 Fuji SS Sic guides. The 2020 Alphas Air TW factory KTF spool has been swapped out for a (now difficult to procure) Rays BFS deep spool, aftermarket CCC and handle nut, and upgraded the handle to an Avail.

This combo is a beast power mag-finesse combo for anything from 3/16 neds to 5/8 oz lipless and 6-10 foot cranks. For 1/4 - 3/8 oz topwaters it's a blast, same for 1/8 - 1/4 oz mini chatters, cranks and squarebills.
