Nope, they look terrible.

Lake X is still completely frozen.

My 18' Xpress would turn a double nickel easy. Fastest I got in the Bullet was 84.7. Totally necessary.

My cousin had a 14' semi-v with a 40 tiller and yes, it hauled. I think I got around 48 mph on GPS in it. That was a long time ago.

You aren't that far off. Before getting the bass boats, I almost bought an 18' aluminum center console by G3.

We don't have anything like that here. I could get a BJ's membership but there's none right close by. If this goes on further, I may have to rethink this whole boat thing.

?

I do the same thing. You can add drag with your thumb if needed. I fish for salmon and steelhead with a centrepin, so applying pressure to a fish this way isn't foreign.

Unleaded Regular E10 was $4.58 /gal. yesterday. I was in a hurry, so I only pumped $10, and realized that was less than three gallons, lol.

Yes, for structure, cover, bait, target fish. Depends, but often yes. Depends, probably less if shallow. Nope.

It's $10 fluoro and is meant for beginning/casual anglers that maybe don't want/can't to spend $40+ on line. I see it as a good/better/best type of deal.

I guess I'd say I use a short line, slightly more than a long cast. Any longer and you aren't gaining any depth and losing contact with the bait due to bow in the line.

You're right - I was thinking of Red Label, not Abrasx. My point stands, it is not their first time offering a low cost line. Or Rippin' Mono and Finesse Fluoro? All four were excellent products that didn't catch on. What is your point? Do you think companies should STOP trying new things? Sounds kind of boring. Seaguar has been on the leading edge for years, and still innovative.

There is zero chance that is legit. Zero.

Abrasx??? This isn't their first rodeo with lower cost lines.

A properly tied Palomar knot is a very reliable knot for fluorocarbon. I've been able to mess around with 6# Basix. It decent line. I haven't really been able to fish it yet.

Ketoacidosis.....yummy.

At the time (early 80s) I was unaware of weedless plastic options. I was probably around 12 when a guy in a bass boat came by fishing our dock with a Texas Rig. I asked how his bait got through the slop, and he showed me how to rig and gave me some tackle. I don't recall losing too many cranks, though I must have. It would more likely be from a northern pike or bowfin than any kind of rocks or cover though.

I don't like shaving, nor do I like facial hair. I've maintained a beard, been clean shaven, and stubbly all in the same week.

I actually did this for years, though our season started 3rd week of June and was over by November. Being a kid, it was much more cost effective to buy a crank that cost $5 to catch hundreds of fish on than plastics that you only caught one or two fish on.

I wouldn't bother with lodging for a single night to fish one day at a really good lake. I'll travel a max of 4 hours for a same day fishing trip or sleep in the car at the ramp deal.

That's a BIG pick!
