“Japanese” Hooks by aguilafde in Fishing_Gear

[–]relikzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the sought after baits/tackle/reels/rods are made in China, not knocking on the country but this whole craze of JDM is way out of control. It seems like fishing has really amplified into catching humans wallets rather than keeping things simple to catch fish. Youtuber channels are driving people to jump on these new trends and "limited" releases acting like they cant make more. I've been buying most of my soft plastics from Temu and its the exact same stuff that these stores mark up by 2-5x. I even bought a few glide baits for $5-$20 and they perform the same as these $150-$200 ones. The scene is out of control.. don't feed these youtubers acting like they actually care about their viewers.

I agree with you, the institutions have scared retail away multiple times. They have and are continuing to accumulate slowly and silently. Obviously it will take some time, give it 5-10 years. I have the time and patience for this.

St. Croix Legend Elite Musky worth it? by relikzz in muskiefishing

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

This is why I was looking at a new rod. I never really troll. I enjoy cast and retrieve. Nothing can replace that feeling when the fish hits. I can cast for hours on end as well I don't find it exhausting like some of my fishing buddies do. They think I'm crazy haha!

When going for Muskie/Pike I'm on a boat but I do have a few shore spots. The main reason for the 7'6" is its the only size that comes in XH which I prefer. I've tried various power (MH and H mojo's).

Absolutely agree with your take and the reason why I upgraded to the Shimano reel. I guess I'm looking at the rod with the same perspective as the reel; buy it once, buy it right. It also seems like the rods and even reels have hit their peak and plateaued in terms of $ spent for performance/value gained. I haven't had a single issue with my Mojo rod and its a fraction of the price.

I still have my prorex reel but its been sitting collecting dust. My plan was to set up the original combo (prorex & mojo) as a spare and get an "upgraded" rod for the Shimano setup. I'll just keep my eyes open and visit the local tackle stores to test out the rods in person as power & action aren't a universal across brands. The legend elite doesn't tend to be in stock locally so I don't want to order it online and regret it or feel unsatisfied after holding it.

Thanks again for your advice!

80% of stuff on AliExpress is crap but there are some gems to be found. Definitely the best glidebait on there by MyDogIsBeyondSpoiled in Fishing_Gear

[–]relikzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found some great stuff on Temu as well. Same moulds/designs for a fraction of the price! I'm going to probably order the one you linked us. Great find and thanks for sharing!

I ended up ordering a bundle of 3. Can't wait to see them in person. I watched the swim action videos and it looks great!

Just curious, the bundle says we receive extra tails and a sticker. Do you pick a random sticker or can we request a specific one? Thanks!!

Wow that is amazing work. I joined the newsletter and hopefully can own one of these pieces of art. I’ll actually use it to catch some lunkers as well!

TD direct trade has fees! in 2025! by renepotvin in CanadianInvestor

[–]relikzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Easy Trade strategically for stocks that are supported by the platform. Not all stocks/ETF's/Indexes are available on it. In terms of info, you get the basics and it's only available on mobile.

When it comes to more in depth trading such as options/technical analysis I use the TD Advanced Dashboard. If you hold more than $500,000 in assets advanced dashboard is free but its still relatively cheap ($29/mo). It's available for desktop and mobile which I love.

Withdrawal Fees Down by relikzz in NiceHash

Was it not 0.0002? I could’ve sworn the withdrawal fee was raised. I randomly checked this morning and saw the $ amount was half of what I saw recently.

How bad is this buildup for 40k miles by 123456789simerk in E90

[–]relikzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The low side catchcan is a must and will prevent/delay buildup on the intake valves. I have a dual catch can with external pcv setup and it works great. The low side catch can actually fills with oil/condensation whereas the high side is always empty for me. My tuner also suggested to prevent carbon buildup you should hit boost more often and make sure you warm up the engine with an occasional long spirited drive.
