Question for Tommy!

I just recieved the coasters you sent me.. WOW! that was fast... This may be a dumb question, but I dont know how to use them. LOL They don't seem to be big enough to fit my AFAW beach... Is there a special way you're supposed to open them up...

[kmw21230]

OK OK.... Mark (Surf Cat) told me that my Butt should come off.. LOL I was wondering how in the hell you guys used these coasters.. I have only used the plastic breakaway coasters and they dont have these problems.

[Fish Hunter]

Oh man you are going to be in deep chit if your butt comes off. :)

[kmw21230]

FH, you're a funny guy!

Tommy, those coasters work Great!! Much better than those cheap ones BA sells.. The Plastic ones..

[Tommy]

They really are nice coasters.

Timing is everything, I was on the way to the post office when the paypal came through so I packed them up and out they went with 20 minutes....

are you sure they won't fit the HDX?

[Tommy]

I don't believe they will expand enough but you could try. If they fit the HDX, let me know.

tommy still no avail for a reducer on the 6nbait rods?

maybe reducers from other companies? zzi? cono? century? fox?

[Tommy]

Sorry but the AFAW reducers are designed to fit the Beach, Big Beach, Rock lineup.

Do you want to mount the reel on a reducer or very low on the butt?? Would this be for field casting or fishing?? If you are mounting the reel low on the butt for field casting then you can probably make a reducer by finding an old rod that you can cut down to slide up into the butt. I cast a Century TTR like that for months until i could get a proper reducer from across the pond.

Make sure it fits in fairly deep and should be about 12-15" extended.
