Favorite Flip-Flops
i loved my adidas sandals with the memory foam. one thing with that is , when you get them wet , dry them completely. they will start to grow nasty stuff in the foam and get very smelly.

Any strict scary dads out there?
x2. ;D if you really have feelings for this girl , make sure you let him know. im assuming you do to be going through the trouble of meeting her parents , but still. let them know how you feel about the situation. eye contact. apologize. more eye contact. admit defeat. invite him to fish with you. hope for the best. if youre a good kid and they know it , you should be fine. unless the guy just has it out for teenage boys , then dont even bother lol. good luck.

Scratches, Chips, Boat Rash!
eh. i dont stress it. most of my gear is either used from our flea market or i just got a great deal and dont really care about a few marks. depending on how deep the scratch is , you may be able to get it with some touch up paint of some kind. i think it gives the reel/rod character. like dirty cork handles.

Zoom Superfluke
i use a 4/0 ewg gammy for the super flukes (1/0 ewg for the juniors). make sure you rig it dead center. otherwise it will dart to only one side or just have a terrible action to it imo. are you just casting and retrieving? or using some type of twitch/pause retrieve?

Fishin & music?
i absolutely love music, but not when im fishing. i dont even like to be slightly intoxicated when i fish because i feel like im easily distracted or that my crank bait will come crashing into my face when i set the hook on nothing. now, if im out with someone else and the day is dull, then ill turn something on. i also fish from shore though , so my music comes from my cellphone. im sure if i had a boat with a sweet stereo , i would fish to music more.

loose handle./
lol. the clicker plate looks like it has seen much better days. im not too sure how much i can clean it up without opening the shaft hole too much. shimano may be receiving another call. ;D

loose handle./
thanks. that is the problem, but im still having drag pressure with the star backed off. i did get replacement drag spring washers that had twice the amount of 'cup' the old ones had. could this be where im getting the pressure from? with the old ones , i would have to give the drag star 3 full turns to get any kind of fish-able pressure. im also thinking the clicker plate may be worn and having a hard time seating.

Point System

loose handle./
how tight does the square nut need to be? it seems the only way i can get it to stay even and snug is to have some drag pressure when the drag star is all the way backed off. on my other stock citica , there is no drag pressure when its backed off. :-?

First decent spinning reel?
ebay is your friend. i picked up a new abu garcia 602 for $30 shipped. there are plenty deals to be found on that site.
-
loose handle./
just quick lubed my citica , and now when i tighten the drag , the handle becomes loose and looks uneven. when the drag is backed off, the handle is snug again. i had this problem last time i opened it up but i cant remember what the issue was.

Hook size vs. plastic size ?
1/0 for 3 and 4" plastics. 4/0 for 5-7" plastics. i use those two size hooks for almost all my plastics i throw. makes things easier since i fish from shore imo.

rod suggestions
I have one , they do not seem too terribly heavy for a forty dollar rod. how do you like it? would the stainless guides do well with braid? I like it but I only use it for cranks , the guides hold up well with braid , that's all I use on all my rods. hm , i may have to pick one up. how is the action? would you recommend it?

rod suggestions
not sure on the budget. i may have to get a beater rod untill i can build up my fishing funds again. i was looking at the shimano voltaeus but then i read that they are terribly heavy. ill just have to shop around untill i find a deal.
