Take it back and get your money back.

That woman needs to be put out of her misery , if you know what I mean.

Shimano has quality reels , the sahara at 79.00 is a good value. Symetre......99.99 Saros..........129.99 Daiwa also has quality reels TD pro........99.99 Tierra..........124.99 Pflueger has some nice ones as well. President.....59.99 Supreme.....99.99

Have fun , hope you've got a lot of time and money.

Enjoy your new boat.

House or trailer ?

Not a good idea. What happens if you cause an accident/injury on the water and have no insurance? You think you are in bad financial shape right now, that would ruin you. If you can't afford the insurance, don't take it out. X2. Excellant advice , use it.

Welcome.

Use it for bream. It's not going to hold up very long for anything bigger.

It's a cheap rod ,does this lopsided guide affect the usability of the rod ?

X2...........Cover your ***.

Congrats on your personal best.

I think of it as getting back with nature , the fishing is really secondary . There are some wonderous sights in the outdoors and I'm excited to be there to see them.

What a great three hours of fishing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've missed that picture , glad it's back.

A 1448 Lowes semi-v is what you should be looking for. Nothing smaller since you've got two small children.

It packs it together...Makes it easier to grab/pinch. Gotcha. Why do people throw up the first time? IT'S THEIR BODIES TELLING THEM NOT TO USE THE CRAP .

Have you actually used Titanium Wire leaders? Don't let the price scare you away because the cost of not using the best leader can be much higher. Toothy fish can and will bite through ANY non-metallic leader, and often with lightning speed. If the fishing line is outside the fish's mouth than naturally it cannot contact the teeth or mouth and will not result in a bite-off, but your luck will not last forever. If you're serious about eliminating bite-offs, a metal leader is a must (no polymers). I've used Malin piano wire for bluefish because tobacco-colored piano wire is thin and unnoticeable, and the leaders can be tied on the spot without crimp-on sleeves. On the downside, single-strand stainless is stiff, easily kinked and once kinked the breaking strength is sharply degraded. Braided stainless wire that's coated in nylon (Sevenstrand) is not quite as stiff or kink prone as piano wire, but is thicker and normally requires crimping pliers and sleeves. Titanium wire is the thinnest and most pliable metal leader and consequently has the least dampening effect on lure action. In addition, titanium leader is knotable, which precludes the use of sleeves, and as a bonus, titanium stretches like fluorocarbon and is just as shock-resistant. Roger X2.

No , thank God. Why did your states feel like you all needed a "fishing season."?

No and yes.

They must feel like they are losing too much of the higher end market.

Fill your spinning reel to with-in 1/8 inch of the spool edge.

Don't know what you are trying to say but I only use spinning out fits and really don't care what some body else thinks about what I use . I sure don't care what they are using. It's all a personal preferance .

It's always good to get the first one of the year out of the way.

Welcome.
