Where/What kind of trailer hook to buy
I just use the BPS brand trailer hooks. Come in silver and red and are very reasonably priced. The quality is also very good as well. Later,

Lots of new Curados for sale! Whats up with that?
The B series are very and I mean very good reels. If the size of the Es are too small for you then the B series would be a great fit for you. Later,

Lots of new Curados for sale! Whats up with that?
I got the 201E7 and before I even used it they put the 51MGs on closeout and then they were made even cheaper on a web site for a week and I couldn't help myself and bought 2 of them. Needless to say I sold the Curado. Now though it has left me needing a high speed reel, what to try?? Later,

Jerkbait storage
X2, they work perfectly for treble style hooks. No more tangles or frustration of trying to get them in and out of the box. Later,

silver thread an40...
Very manageable line, very little if any memory. Later,

silver thread an40...
It is a really good line, but with that said the Yo-Zuri Ultra Soft is better for spinning reels. The line you got will work just fine, just be sure to treat it really well with KVD L&L. Later,

Help Rod + Reel $150
WOW, they decided to make it in left hand retrieve. I was told it was only going to be a right hand retrieve model. Sorry for the wrong info. and in that case the Pro Qualifier combo would be the way to go. Later,

Help Rod + Reel $150
The Pro Qualifier does not come in a left hand retrieve. Right hand only. Later,

avids and mojos?
The Mojos look nice, but I do not like the split grip or the lack of the front grip. But I am not fond of the Power Hump style grip handle of the Avid either. So at this point I have just been using the Premieres and am quite happy. Later,

St Croix Avid Rods
Good luck finding them at a discount anywhere, unless they are on close out do to a new model coming out. Your best bet is the forum flea market or ebay. Later,

Favorite braid?
Went with the Fire Line Braid. BPS doesn't carry the Daiwa Samurai and plus I had some BPS bucks to use. Spooled it up and took it out to practice a few casts. Did notice it was quite a bit quieter then Power Pro and felt a little bit better then Power Pro. Will find out this weekend if I can get to the pond. Later,

Favorite braid?
I keep hearing great things about the new Daiwa Samurai Braid as well. I hear it is quite a bit better then the new Fire Line Braid. I am going to try out one of these 2 that is for sure. Been using Power Pro exclusively for the past couple years. Later,

Seaguar Red Label
I decided to try some out. I figured for $12 it couldn't hurt. So I got some 8lbs line and spooled up my new spinning reel and headed out. It casts like a dream very sensitive and had no problems with line twists or any knot issues. Will try it out some more this week and see how it holds up over time. I also treated it with KVD L&L of course. Later,

The official review thread
Yes this is a very nice bag. I did add the 10 extra pages and it made a big difference. I have not had any problems storing larger plastics in the sleeves either. Later,

How many of you are Right handed but use a Left hand retrieve Bait cast reel?
Same here, right handed but use a left handed retrieve. Right handed retrieves just feel completely awkward to me. Later,
