My biggest complaint right here

Totally agree with this. I also didn't think that 2nd year QB Drake Maye would even be in the MVP conversation either....but here we are

You must be my brother from another mother. I use freshwater rods and reels for saltwater use. I come back after every outing and hose down my rods and reels, quickly wipe with towel and air dry with an 18 volt leaf blower. My winter reel clean up is a breeze and, surprisingly, no oxidation inside. Loved the post bud

Don't give up, give it another try. Sometimes you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet.

Totally forgot you did spincast molds. How long do the silicone molds last? They sound like they provide easy modification such as your underspins.

The one I'm testing it out on is a Shakespeare spinning real. Has to be 15 years old at least. My son started fishing with me at 5 and he's 21 now. I think it was a combo a relative got him back then. It's definitely a composite. I'll give it a whirl

Alright … I got nothing

You know @12poundbass, that….just isn’t right! I hope 6poundbass pees in your cornflakes in the morning. 😆

You had to be mean @12poundbass

It’s a good point Tom and I just looked at the reels again. Both are not anodized and are painted. I took off the spool and both appear to be something other than a metal (aluminum?). Not sure what they’re made of but guessing like a material a fishing rod is made of (graphite?). Anyway, thank you, great post. You gave me pause to check and think. I think I may have to remove the original paint so it won’t be, to your point, too thick. Thanks again

I’m drunk just looking at those pics @Eric 26. This boy steers clear away from tequila All yours bud

Anyone ever paint a spinning reel? Results? The ask is to paint the rotor, drag cap and spool a color to match a rod. Leaving the reel body black. I have my son’s old spinning reel to use as a test reel before I apply to a newer reel but wanted to see if anyone has tried/done it before. I like the idea of the color scheme matching the rod TBH.

Just for that comment @12poundbass, I hope the Bills lose today! ... Wait, they got Miami, maybe not

@12poundbass & @MN Fisher, pls keep your snow from drifting east. Thank you in advance JF10

That came out incredible! Loved that one Is that a jig mold you modified to get the underspin wire to fit into? Underspins are such an underused lure for me. I really need to use them more. Looks great man

I was in a similar boat about 5 years ago looking to cast 1 - 1 1/2 oz lures and wound up buying 2 Daiwa Fuegos. 1 for my son and I. Not too pricey but perfect for what we do. Wish ya luck and hope Santa helps you out.

I think you’ll def be in a heavy situation depending on if your fishing a rod you have or a rod you want to get.

I don’t ge…yeah…no use spit ball’n here

I pretty much use medium heavy for spinnerbaits up to say 1/2 oz. Anything bigger I go with a heavier powered rod. What size spinnerbaits you thinking of fishing?

Funny you mention lake effect snow, our forecast for early next week calls for possible flurries due to lake effect snow out of the mid-west ... too early man

Geez Louweeeeeeez @N Florida Mike! NICE ONE or should I say HOLY COW! Congrats man!

Those canisters aren’t cheap. At least they weren’t when I replace a couple. But when it’s a 90* plus day I definitely want and inflatable @Lottabass, when I’m on the boat I wear a PFD I’m confident in. I am confident with an inflatable but I wear the foam ones more often than not. It’s like fishing go with what you’re confident with

Unfortunate but true

Hey keep an eye on that thing, will you! Haha….love it! Ooooo! That looks like a good one! You may be on to something there. I may have to scratch that itch today. And as far as St Pauli girl goes, “you never forget your first girl”
