He's talking about a Rebel 1650. http://www.lundboats.com/boat-models/1650-rebel-xs/

Length really just comes down to how big the streams are. For the Salmon R. in Pulaski, I use a 15'. For some of the creeks that are no wider than a narrow road, I use a 7'. Most typically use 10 - 13' around here. The length is to keep your main line off the water. I had a nice 9' Lamiglass spinning rod I used for kings that I like pretty well. It was beefy stick, not what I'd use with steelhead, but the length was not an issue.

I rarely use less than 8# line in tribs. Only on a VERY bright clear day do I switch to 4 and 6# leaders. Shimano makes a 10' medium Michigan-grip in their Convergence line that is great for steelheads and browns in tight quarters.

In this case, I'd prefer the Shake2.

Came across this searching for muffler bearings.

Technically, pizza outside of the four Burroughs is not really pizza at all. It's a pizza -like food item. We have a place locally that actually imports water from Brooklyn, and it's pretty close. Apparently the soft water found there is secret to the crust. I will say, I love a deep dish, Chicago style pizza. But that is not really a pizza, in my eyes. Call me a purest...or a hypccrite, if you want. And yes, I also have been known to hit the Pizza Hut buffet.

Here's the terrible "stock answer": as needed. It really depends on usage and environment. If you put a drop in every 20 hours of use or after two months - whichever comes first - you'll be fine. Any excess oil will be shed after a few casts, provided it's a stock bearing, and not a sealed aftermarket bearing with the seals intact. According to Dawn at Smooth Drags, the difference is in the 3weave, the coating of the carbon weave, and durability. She noticed many Abu customers replacing their OEM "carbon drags" after about a year's heavy use, and almost never heard about people wearing out a Smooth Drags Carbontex.

It's neither. People have grown up learning to be selfish, thinking of no one but themselves. Selflessness, even just quiet, unassuming fishing etiquette has all but disappeared. There's no payoff, no selfie, no proclamation via a clever internet meme to claim glory for selflessness, because that isn't selfless at all.

I'm much more comfortable with loose fitting clothes that block the sun. Just can't get comfortable with the buff, and I know I wouldn't like the sleeves. Even with coverage and sun block, I still end up getting tan.

Pineapple on pizza is a crime.

He left his hands exposed.

You should make your way to the mayor's, and order a pizza.

Took me a half hour to go next door from work, but I got a 4 for $4 Wendy's meal.

My truck is one huge snow drift.

Too close to the water and no breakwall. See next door? They have a breakwall.

Okay. It shouldn't pop out. The side plate holds it in, when fully assembled. It WILL pop out when the side plate is removed. I might make sure the dog ear gear and kick plate work properly. That has been an issue with some Daiwas, in the past.

We were close to 70, last week. Then the wind and cold hit. This is right off one of my fishing spots:

One end is longer than the other. Is it upside down?

On the news, the meals on wheels program was listed in the cancellations on the banner. Tough luck, man. Work says we can go home if we can work from home. Internet is out. Oh well.

Yep. The rest is marketing, and how you interpret "better." I haven't looked at IM or Mod ratings when picking a rod out since IM7 was a big thing.

Don't get me started. The interwebz is full of dumb, misinformed people, and I may be one of them.

We had pizza delivered to work today. They were right on time.

It never was a Texas rig! No bullet weight.

It lasts over 6 hours, using a Helix 5 SI/DI. They're all deep cycle. It's a small AGP battery. I got mine at Radio Shack for $20.

I use a 7ah 12v in my kayaks.
