If a warranty is important to you then I would recommend looking at a Shimano rod, lifetime over the counter, doesn't get any better. No paying for shipping or time lost. The warranty and performance is why I went that route. For 60 bucks you can get a Convergence crankbait rod, its a graphite composite and a lifetime warranty. I really like mine and am replacing my BPS Crankin Sticks as needed with them.

I always look for the most simple problem first, like a clogged filter or water line. Most modern refrigerators have a filter that needs replaced every few months, these filters use activated charcoal or carbon, sometimes moving the fridge will damage the filter allowing the charcoal to clog the lines or the filter collapses and doesn't allow water flow

I really like the Wrangler with the u-shaped seat. I also have some IZOD brand really heavy denim and comfortable. The new Duluth brand looks they would be worth a try.

Glad it worked out, just because the disposal is grinding doesn't mean it is broke. May have a small piece of metal, glass, I found gravel in one once, the person cleaned a fish tank and the gravel went into the disposal. Anyway see if you can work that out before buying another.

Happy birthday, and a big thank you for this site.

The entire kitchen except stove is probably on one circuit. The disposal is probably an add on and anybody's guess on wiring. From description I'm leaning towards a short. I would recommend getting a professional in there, shorts can cause fires. Do u have a modern circuit breaker box? 200 amp service, fuses or other? That will help in determining fire risks.

On your outlets it could be your GFI, the garbage disposal typically isn't on that circuit however. Depending on how old your house is, dictates how many gfi protected outlets you have, and where the actual gfi is located. Sometimes it is in the "breaker box" other times its on an outlet, again depending on how your house was wired the gfi outlet protecting your kitchen may or may not actually be in the kitchen, I've seen them in a half bath near the kitchen. Also gfi outlets do go bad, the outlet reset and test button may still appear to function but not actually be working. The gfi when it goes bad does allow low voltage thru the circuit, I mean low like 2 to 10 volts. So for your outlets that aren't working I would suspect either a tripped or bad gfi outlet, they are not difficult to replace, but if you are uncomfortable with doing electrical work get someone to do if for you. Just a heads up, if it is a breaker with a GFI on it, replace the breaker with a normal breaker and get a GFI outlet to put on the that series. A GFI breaker is pricey compared to an outlet, the gfi outlet will cost less than 20 bucks, the breaker can easily be three times that much. Onto the garbage disposal. there is a reset button on the motor to the disposal typically red on the side of the motor under the sink. Attempting to grind up heavy items or too much will cause the overload switch to trip. On the bottom of the disposal is a manual hex key that will allow you to turn the motor/blades by hand. Check to see if the drain is blocked, if not check to see if the blades will turn manually, if so make sure the motor hasn't tripped the safety switch. That's most likey the scenario on the disposal. Good luck to you.

That's a beautiful bronze back. Congrats

They will replace it, one year warranty. I have 4 of these reels, not a dud in the bunch. But as with any manufactured product every so often there is a bad one. FWIW a one year warranty is pretty much industry standard on reels, that's what my Abu's, and Shimano had as well.

X2 the rare occasion I do add I rotate the handle I few times and then use a Q tip to remove any excess

Oh man my first car 1974 Ford Galaxy 4 door turd brown with baby poop color vinyl top. A total chick repulsor.

If the sound is not mechanical (ie clicking or grinding) its probably normal. Considering the amount of experience you have, I suggest spooling it with line and go fishing.

Both the V6 & 8 are good dependable engines. It has relatively low miles considering its age. Congrats and enjoy

First congrats, your first car is always a big deal. Yes I've owned them. As with any vehicle the care and maintenance it received prior to your purchase is key to it's longevity. Is it the six cylinder or V8? My son's had well over 200000 miles when he sold it. Still running and being driven daily. If it has been taken care of it will be reliable, if you take care of it too. Remember it is 15 years old, drive it accordingly

I've personally witnessed ninja catch a 5lber on his, but it was a catfish, lol. Mine is a quantum set up, Tour rod 7mf, and Catalyst reel 20.

That's funny right there

I'm a line watching addict, I've learned that no matter how light the hit the line reacts, whether it move slightly or just vibrates. Reel out the slack and set the hook. Hoooksets are free, so I'll set it, though sometimes its my bait hitting cover on the way down, I may look silly setting the hook on nothing but more times that not its a fish.

What is the water like in your area? Water clarity and color play a major role in lense choice.

Vinnie, For crankin you need low ipt (inches per turn of handle) the S is in the upper 20's above 25, the Citica offers 5.4:1 gear that brings in 22 ipt. Unless your taking lipless cranks then the Citica is the only choice given that you are considering two reels. If u are willing to look at other reels, there is a David Frittz reel in the flea market made for cranking.

Dude, you must have a little Apache blood. Last time I saw one of those was at a pow-wow.

To answer your question I throw SK square bills, Normans Deep N, Little N, Fat Boy, Bomber A's, Rapala Clackin Rap, Lipless mainly from Academy, Excaliber, SK, Academy H2O crrankbaits are a great value. Color wise any natural color, Black/Blue back Chrome sides, Red, Browns with an orange bottom. I'm gonna provide a couple of links to some posts and articles here on this site, there is a wealth of info. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/60793-best-of-bassresourcecom/ Go down to the crankbait section, Chris knows alot about crankin and shares some information http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/iaconelli_crankbaits.html Iaconelli article http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/crankbait_fishing.html http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/crankbaiting.html http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/crankbait1.html go to bottom of page and there is a list of crankbait articles to read http://www.bassresource.com/fishing-lures-articles/ A bunch of crankbait articles, how to, color, etc

IMO I would suggest a Bass Pro Shop Pro Qualifier, this spring it will be on sale for around 75 bucks. Very user friendly, dual brakes centrifugal and magnetic, set up properly and its nearly impossible to backlash. I learned on a reel with mag brakes, after using cent brakes I doubt I will ever have mag only brakes again. I've owned pinnacle, Shimano Curados, Abu Garcia EXT Pros and C-3&4, Quantum Accurist and BPS reels, in the bps I've had Johnny Morris signature, extremes, and pro qualifier. IMO the pro qualifier is the easiest reel for a newbie to learn on. After that it would be a quality reel with cent brakes. So by name the BPS pro qualifier, then the Citica, and this is from the standpoint of a newbie learning the ropes.

Don't worry about it, wish my wife could shop like that! But she did hook me up with a smoker. NorCalBassin, glad u liked, been checking today to see if I got it right, lol

Merry Christmas all

Merry Christmas
