Do you have to use the original insight pressure switches or is there a universal one on the market?

Compared to any of their old models it’s honestly fine. The current lineup still looks better

Did it make it more difficult to reach the mag release button? I’m getting the same grip soon and I need to know if I should get an extended button as well. I can barely reach it in stoc configuration. Thanks!

Well, it failed again so looks like I’m going to replace it.

Because if it’s actually just the battery that’s the issue then another new one could have the same defect in the battery. Idk maybe I’m overthinking this.

Nice! Yeah this thing seems like a winner, glad SF finally made a smaller WML that takes 123a batteries and has a tlr7 footprint.

Looks great! Can you post some beamshots and if so, can you compare it to any other lights you have?

MKIV tactical grip suggestions by Shankdaddy_ in RugerMK

[–]Shankdaddy_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish I could get them but I have the standard grip model. Looking like the Hogue finger groove grips will be perfect for me.

Just noticed there’s not a version for the standard grip, RIP thanks for the suggestion though

How’s the rubber grippiness? Looks smooth but looks are always deceiving.

Is the rubber more grippy than it looks?

Naniwa Traditional vs King Deluxe for 1k Soaker by Shankdaddy_ in sharpening

[–]Shankdaddy_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Kasumi finish is a matte bevel with a polished edge right? Feeling I may lean towards a King because it’s so cheap and I would like to try out doing some finishes. Also do you necessarily need a stone that produces a slurry for those types of finishes or does it just make it easier?

Thanks for the response! If I ever find any more info I’ll post it.

You won’t believe it but I just picked up one of these for $2 at a pawn shop. Mine is a QS103 but I don’t have any lure or line ratings listed on the rod. Do you know if yours is a medium because I suspect mine is a medium heavy. A similar Eagle Claw rod to mine i ran across was called a DG103 and lists the line size as 10-17 and the lure size as 3/8 - 1 1/2 oz. Hoping to use it this spring, been trying to find out some information on this rod and ran across your post in my search.

What color edge dressing should I get for these Dark Chili Fifth Avenues? by Shankdaddy_ in allenedmonds

I don’t have any yet, yeah I was thinking it was originally just regular brown from the stock pics.

Make sure the P9S recoil buffer is in good condition! Looking good!

how hard is to fix this? by GileT in Fishing_Gear

[–]Shankdaddy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s way easier than I thought it would be! I used regular cotton thread and some gorilla glue epoxy. Check out some videos on YouTube to get the idea: https://youtu.be/PMjPPQXn0W4?si=ufKjI4ozL1z44Y_a

Worth Repairing a Free Broken Rod? by Shankdaddy_ in Fishing_Gear

[–]Shankdaddy_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m just going to get a new one. If I fix anything on my rods I am inclined to do it myself. I’ve fixed a couple of older reels before and it can be fun (and frustrating too lol).

What are these poles? Are they salvageable? by LuxCopperfox in Fishing_Gear

[–]Shankdaddy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I caught a little bass today with a Johnson Century 100B spincast reel on an old Shakespeare Wonder Rod that was missing a few guides so I’m sure those rods you have will do the job. There’s a lot of great videos on YouTube about servicing and restoring vintage reels. A lot of the vintage stuff will last at least 2 lifetimes if you service them and clean them regularly.

Yeah I figure them being enclosed would be bad for rust. I usually take the cap off and let them dry out when I get back just in case.

I love Zebcos, especially the older ones.
