In the past, I have resisted this idea. I thought the JDM tackle discussions fit perfectly with bream fishing and wanted to keep them together.
I've changed my mind. There are a bunch of sub-forums on this site that get little or no traffic. If they get their own sub-forum, why not JDM?
Who's with me?

OK, I'll bite, I hope I don't regret it, particularly when it an idea from DBD! How many folks would like a separate subforum for this JDM thing? You're welcome to post here, or PM me too.
Here's my answer. Replace "toga" with "JDM".

YES. For context, these three threads about JDM UL tackle have been a one-of-a-kind resource for those interested and looking for info in English. This is coming from someone who's done quite a bit of research on the subject in several languages over the past few months. After you do a few relevant searches in Google, you quickly realize that many roads lead here...
I’m in.

Crappie.com is a great website and I was a member before I went down this JDM road... the thread under review was a wealth of knowledge and helped me a lot in regards to new reel decisions... I didn’t have a problem with the way it was but whatever keeps it to where we have access to those 3 threads... lots of great info in those 3 threads
I’m on board with either.
I was perfectly happy with the way it was, but not opposed to a sub forum

Will it help in keeping the riff-raff out?

I saw nothing wrong with those three threads being kept together at the top, and thought panfishing was the right place for them. They are one of the first threads I look for when I’m on the site. I did wind up buying a JDM rod and the rod thread is where I got my decision information, and it was good info. My equipment is by no means exclusively JDM. This is a growing area of interest.Quote:

Yes, but at least call it the Japanese Domestic Market forum, instead of just JDM... so all the newcomers knows what's about.
A sub-forum is better than the three (previously) sticky threads since it will give far greater granularity to the subjects - thinks dozens of subjects instead of just three. This makes it easier for new members or passers by to find the needed info, instead of wading through a single posts of a 100+ posts.
I like it like it is, but whatever, either is fine whit me.
Till y'all made reference to the 3 stickies I didn't know they existed. Yall keep teaching. Someday I may move to the fancy side of fishing.

I’m for a separate JDM forum. One of the main reasons I come here is check on JDM equipment and people’s reviews. Besides, Crappie.com is the only site that I can find that has a specific section to discusses ultralight JDM gear. That should mean sumthin’.
It’s getting tough navigating the ultra long threads. This would make it more user friendly.

Agreed. I would like to see the "Big 3" threads as stickies in the new forum for reference.Quote:

We need a place to discuss JDM gear without haters getting their jimmies rustled because we prefer to fish with JDM rods instead of Loomis, St Croix, etc., or custom rods. None of us (except 1 USA vendor/sponsor) have any pecuniary interest in the topic. I've had to put a guy on ignore in this forum because of his bellicose attitude toward JDM gear.
Yes. If you're going to get rid of the stickies because they got too big, the only logical option is to create a place where this won't happen again. A subforum will allow for individual threads which won't grow to hundreds of pages. Right now a "Part 2" rod thread was started. It's only a matter of time until it grows to 100+ pages again.
Stay calm lol...there is a plan in the works so stay tuned :ThumbsUp
Counting down.....get ready :cheers2
Drum Roll..... here it is All things Ultralight forum
Thank You Slab
It is done. Just so you all know, I'm not real fond of promoting other markets, other than the USA. Crappie are only caught in the USA (and Canada), and this a uniquely American hobby. Yeah I know fishing is not unique to America, but Crappie fishing is. I also know pretty much everything sold in America, even by American companies, is made elsewhere, or has components made elsewhere. I wish more was made here employing folks in our own country, paying taxes so heroes like our Billbob can stay retired and fish....lol In any case, there's nothing wrong with JDM equipment. Some of it is very good stuff, and conversation about it might inspire some good "more" domestic ideas and products. It's called competition, and it's a big motivator for improvement for all.
I closed this thread, have fun with the new forum y'all
