41.5# drag.....WHY?!!!! Hootie

He probably could have fit your SUV into the trunk of that Oldsmobile....lol. Hootie

For these reasons I do not buy Zman plastics. Way too much aggravation. Hootie

I don't trust Captain Crunch. His eyebrows are on his hat. Hootie

I think there might be a cereal killer in my neighborhood. Found three empty Frosted flakes boxes in my backyard this morning. Hootie

On mono. Hootie

I agree. Hootie

Ironic that you should say that. The Calcutta 100b is exactly what I've been using for the job. I suppose it's true that "great minds think alike"...lol. Hootie

I like that!...lol. Hootie

Most always from my phone. Hootie

That there's a biggun! Hootie

No giants, but not a bad day. Best of eight. Still don't know how to make these pics stand up....lol. Hootie

I have two 50e series Curados and one 50e Chronarch. I tend to associate these reels with finesse fishing only, so I rarely use them. I have said before, I am partial to full sized reels......200e series. Might sound like a silly question from someone who should already know, but, hey, I don't know everything..lol. Would these reels hold up under the stress of pulling a 3/8 to 1/2 oz. spinnerbait? Or say, a squarebill crankbait? I never throw anything larger than a 1.5 and never any deep divers. You teeny reel guys out there, " HELP"! Hootie

Of course you do. You can't see with your E's. Sorry, Bluebasser, I just couldn't restrain myself...lol. By the way, those E's you're talking about. Chronarchs, or Curado's? And what kind of shape are they in? Hootie

I did forget to mention, I bought all 19 of the good Shimano reels...lol. Hootie

Thou sayest!!....lol. Hootie

I have 3 G series Citicas that I have been using almost exclusively this season. I think, so far they are great little reels. They are performing flawlessly. I still have my Cores, my E series Chronarchs and Curado 50e's, my Curado i's, my Calcutta 100b's. Stradic 2500fj, and Sahara 3000,...blah....blah....blah. Shimano....Shimano. Hootie

HEY! HEY!....lol....actually I got used to it pretty quickly. I've built over a 100 computers, but when I quit XP was the operating system of the day. I just hung out there until my computer died. Hootie

Don't mean to be negative about any other posts, but I would take the E6X over the GL2's all day. I had a GL2 j&w rod and didn't like it at all. That said, I have never used an E6X. I've only handled them in the store. I like the way they feel. I nearly bought one but talked myself out of it. I have "WAY" too many Loomis rods as it is. In fact, too many rods period. Hootie

Really you should buy and use whatever you like and can afford. I get harassed by my fishing buddies all the time for using GLX's and NRX rods, but using whatever hooks are on sale. Hootie

Cause....lol. Hootie

$40.00 for a spool of line!...I don't know. Guess I'm just getting old....lol. Hootie

The Cincinnati store. 2010-2013. Hootie

Never had any, but they had them at the store when I was working at BPS. Hootie
