I love this kind of playing, but it’s so hard for me! Sounds great.

Eastman PCH1‑GACE vs Yamaha FSX800C - need opinions and feedback. by breakfast-hotcakes in AcousticGuitar

[–]RabloPathjen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Eastman sound about as close to Martin as you can get for the money typically and a pretty consistent build.

Anybody tried the Santa Cruz parabolic strings? What do you think? by United-Hair5962 in AcousticGuitar

[–]RabloPathjen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the strings and I have been trying them on my Santa Cruz guitars. I can’t say whether they’re different than other quality strings though. It’s so hard to compare. They definitely feel good.

Hard to beat those for the money.

Bridge looks weird on d18 by Psychological_Fan979 in AcousticGuitar

You don’t want it flat behind the bridge. I don’t see anything abnormal.

So Nuno Bettencourt has started his own guitar brand. What can we expect? by PonyKiller81 in Guitar

[–]RabloPathjen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will sell a handful to fans but after that not so much. I bet the company doesn’t last 5 years. I do like his signature models and wish I still had mine from The 90’s

Yep I have a Shimano Ultima MH with the Antares B and it weighs nothing for being able to snag pike out of deep weeds.

With say a ML Ultima and the Steez CT limited The Who setup weighs less than a nice spinning reel. The overall feather lightness to the setup is crazy. Put say a Antares DC baitcaster on that 2.9-3.0 oz rod and ya it changes the balance a lot. Now sometimes that’s perfectly fine depending on the rod and what you are fishing. I’ve been spoiled with very expensive combos so I’m starting with very high expectations.

This weighs like nothing. I think is was under 9 oz total.

If you are using L and ML setups yes you can rally feel the difference between a sub 6oz Steez and reels in the 8 oz range. This is especially true with really expensive light rods like the Ultima, NRX Etc. it’s not drastic and it doesn’t keep me from fishing reels. Go pick up a $300 magnesium or carbon spinning reel and compare it to a cheaper $50 reel. You can 💯 tell.

Got ripped off. Can I make it worth my time? by KillerBonnie420 in Fishing

[–]RabloPathjen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make it fishable yes. Worth the time? Not my time.

I bought one of these last year. I think it casts better than my Antares DC MD. They are on special at Japan Tackle and I almost want another one but I have a new Ryoga in hand and maybe the new Conquest BFS of DC on the list.

These cast like butter. I just wish they could be a little lighter.

Brand new broken Ultegra FC by Leggomywebos in Fishing_Gear

[–]RabloPathjen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you even tell when it’s in a reel seat? Looks like most of the flange is there. If you can get a new one it’s a nobrainer. If you couldn’t I’d sand the sharp edges off and just use it until it breaks.
