  4. Site Being Hacked? No communication From Owners/Moderators?

    I may be wrong here but I’m gonna chime in:

    From my perspective, like most forums, S.U. is a free discussion forum, which offers a sub forum where members can buy, sell and trade swimbait items at no charge. No fee whatsoever. This is not a bidding, selling or marketplace site. So seeing these post asking (some demanding) answers to why they were not communicated any information during scheduled maintenance seems a little unreasonable.

    Yes I get it, people were in the midst of transactions and were not prepared, including myself. It is what it is and I had to be patient. But what I learned is next time, I take an extra step and ask the other party involved for a 2nd point of contact, in case this happens again unexpectedly.

    To complain and / or expect answers to something that you get for free is a little unreasonable in my book and comes off as being ungrateful. I know of some forums that would charge a fee to buy, sell, trade on their sites. Some even charge membership fees to do such transactions.
     

    I am not pointing fingers, just trying to put it into perspective that some people may have forgotten. 
     

    But, who am I, I came to the forum for the swimbait and fishing conversation first and foremost. Some members are here just for the Black Market. To each is their own. 

    This. It's a free forum. They don't owe you ish. You owe them for putting in thier own time for making this the best swimbait forum ever created. They could shut it down tomorrow and very few people, if any, would be owed a reason why.

    Check inside of the spool. I’ve heard of guys having the knot holding the line on the reel slip through the spool causing similar problems. 

    I had one guy who wore a groove so deep into the rubber of the DC unit because of a spool knot. 

  8. Anti reverse pawl

    Yes you just need the pawl. I actually prefer to have a the ar pawl in my reels. Just makes them feel less sloppy. Especially the tranx. Most felt like ish after taking out the pawl. A swimbait reel shouldn't feel like a flipping or frogging reel imo. Just gives a more connected feeling. Will it help with the backwards play? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Just all depends on where you are in the rotation. But there will still be play sometimes. Take the AR sleeve out and run a q tip around the AR I'm sure it has alot of grease in it. Plus whatever AR shimano is using now are ish anyway. 

  10. Spiral guides

    in The Underground

    Posted

    It was mostly done on saltwater setups on the opposite side so you could push the line with your thumb and not have to pull it on non levelwind reels. With levelwind reels some guys prefer it some say it makes no difference.  I think the only true way to find out would be to run the same exact setup with one spiraled to the right/one to the left. But same side is mostly so it sits flush on the deck. I don't think the weight savings of 2-4 guides matter when throwing 2+ ounce baits

    Is this the H or SH version?

    I think H. I can't remember if I ordered an H or SH gear when I replaced the main gear and pinion. Looking at the picture I would say H though
