here it is.

winter, Im fishin in the summer.

Yeah, I did. I cant shoot it, and it can kill someone. I cant friggin throw away aluminum cans or plastic anymore, so forgive me for not wanting to throw away ammo. I can take it apart, toss it, but I was curious if there is an accepted practice for disposing ammunition in civilian society. When I was in the military, we had special sand filled boxes to drop ammo in if it wasn't serviceable. Alot of police depts use the same system. Since I'm not an armorer, I don't know whats the PROPER way to dispose of it. I'm sorry if you don't think its a valid question, but I tend to take firearms safety seriously. At the end of the day, I will bring it to my range, and let them dispose of it for me.

Ive had it for two years of regular fishing with no problems. For the price, I would absolutely recommend it. However, get new line, the stuff that comes stock is crap. Also, change the spring bobber, or get rid of it completely. Your looking at about 5 dollars of changes on a 25 dollar rod and reel. Its a win/win.

Welcome ya cheesehead, from a F.I.B.. lol

cute. lol

I love cougars......

Fishing Rhino, I just sprayed vodka and pineapple juice outta my nose thanks to you. Its all over my keyboard. Thanks.

You can also treat braid with chapstick on the last three or four feet, and it will increase its buoyancy. However, you have to fish it carefully, as there is no stretch.

and found one round with a manufacturing defect. Basically the hollow points "ridge" is malformed. Obviously I wont be using the round, but I have no idea how one should dispose of bad ammo. I will probably take it by my local range, but any other ideas would be appreciated, if for nothing but satisfying curiosity. Thanks.

Its a spring bobber. Its is a visual indicator of a bite. Winter time Gills are notoriously hard to feel with the rod. The bobber helps that. The first thing I did was take the crappy spring bobber off, and put on an after market type that clips onto the end of the rod.

I didnt even know there was a St Charles store.

I use a 36" Frabill combo. I think its called the panfish popper. I also use it for Gills on my float tube during open water season. It was $25 or so for the whole shabang.

Welcome back!

I have F*&%$@G had it with this crap!

Hadnt really thought about it until this post. Ill be looking into this soon. Thanks.

Welcome.

Id go with 30# suffix. I love the stuff.

Welcome from Illinois.

There really isn't one person to thank. My Dad took me fishing as a kid, but I was bored with it at that young age. I didn't really get into it until my early twenties. I guess I would have to thank every fisheries manager in Massachusetts, Arizona, and Illinois, for providing a heck of alot of opportunities to enjoy this wonderful sport.

Goodnight Ladies!

Welcome. I have some not so fond memorys of texarkana....lol

Welcome from Northern Illinois. Nice avatar.

I am so sick of ice and snow. I had the ol' lady convinced to move down south after the kiddo graduates from H.S.( after next year God willing) Now she has decided she wants to open her own business here in Northern Illinois. Looks like Im stuck here for awhile longer.
