Tracker Grizzly 1754. The seat is literally on the floor. I used to just have a throw cushion until until the seat idea dawned on me. I can run with just me or another seated next to me...(fishing guide who routinely has two anglers) I just need to trim down more or come off the throttle a little more. Whatever works.

I moved both trolling batteries forward and always try to have my partner in the forward seat. (no pedestal) It helps a lot. Trimming down is still needed.

You always hear about professional athletes soaking in ice. A couple of years ago, using an aluminum club to kill and keep a snakehead, the third stroke was to the back of my hand. I pushed it into the cooler full of ice... Hitting it with the club hurt less...

Or even golf...

Every one's old school is different... Every one's old school is different... Oldies radio stations were once very popular. Now, the "oldies" are the songs from the late 70s and into the 80s.

Long but, worth every minute. Just when you think you've heard enough sax, please, please make it to the end... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=phil+collins+band+pick+up+the+pieces+

Go to Gin and Tonic every evening. Love bourbon too. I wouldn't have said that when I was first of drinking age. I am 57 and just love the distinct flavors of bourbon.

For my fishing partner and me, remote control as fishing guides is perfect. Sit or stand in the back as customers fish... For fishing, I like to let my foot do the steering.

I googled some graphite information (BR showed up in the search results) a name came up... flechero, super user.

I like this thread. I counted once, I think I am member 105. So many names, so many memories.

I kept my wife on the edge of the bed (and not a lot of sleep) with snoring and stopping breathing. CPAP time. I fell dead asleep (at least for 4-5 hours, she now gets to sleep. Philips recalled my CPAP in 2021 and I couldn't use it. I had subsequently lost almost 100 pounds. Guess what, I haven't needed it for the last two years.

Nos cum prole pia benedicat Virgo Maria. Merry Christmas!

Three times, twice as it left my hand, I drop down on to my knees catching the handle just past elbow deep. The first time it was cold in February and my hand was cold, it just opened up and let it go... We drug rattle traps and within a few minutes, it was back in the boat.

Did you send it back or dispose of it properly?

A friend recommended it. I bought two. Now everyone we know that needs seat replacements, has them,

How long is your rod? (no matter how I phrase that, it just doesn't sound right)

I had one repaired a few years ago, not as bad as yours. My advice, go slow with getting back on it fully. I am an impatient patient and was too eager to get back on it. Not a huge deal but, I wish I'd have gone a bit slower.

Yesterday, November 26th, 2022, (for reference sake) a friend, who is quite the carp fisherman, took my fishing partner and me, carp fishing. (a trip two years in the making) it was a perfect day weathersize for the end of November and we caught 19 carp up to about 20 pounds. We sure had a lot of fun. I really want to explore this species. (a serious science this carp fishing) whoa is me, another revenue stream going out...

Pouring over these pages (boy am I getting an education...) and other places on the web, like MickD mentioned, 7' seems the norm for BFS rods. I like WC53's analogy between Bait Finesse and Bass Finesse. I also liked MickD's suggesting to stick with it and an answer will come...

Since all fishing do will be for bass, I am considering this: REVS62L-SB

I too have three H3's. (I may be why Chop has four if I remember correctly) You have a PM.

DB mentioned Jammy Red Roo. Not a wine guy in particular but, I can drink me some Jammy Red.

Thanks for the information, great help.
