But was it necessary to refer to th OP as stupid. I spent 40 yrs. welding. Should I call anyone who can't weld stupid??? Sheesh!!! Hootie

Starting a slam, or trying to instigate an argument with your first post does no good either. Hang around a while. Let the guys get to know you with some non combative posts. I get goofy occasionally, and make some rash statements, but I feel I have been here long enough that everybody knows when I am jokingly trying to get a rise out of someone. But being the new kid on the block, you don't just kick the door down and come in making harsh opionated statements. Anyhow, just my 2 cents. Hootie

6'8" is the absolute maximum that will fit in my little sub compact. That being said, most of the time I am using all 6'6" rods. Hootie

I agree, but a lot of guys don't like them at all.Hootie

Awesome setup! Hootie

Mine is excellent at evading. Haven't caught a fish yet. Hootie

Have one I bought in 1969. Still have it, still works great. Hootie

Do you have difficulty reading and writing these posts? Hootie

Don't pay any attention to this GARBAGE!!! post. Opinionated arrogance!!! I have 2 Curado G series reels and they are fine.....NOT lol!!! And for the record, I am not a Shimano fan boy. I also have Lews reels, Abu Garcia, AND 4 PQ's, and E series Curado's Hootie

I love a mystery, but not this kind. Hope you can resolve the problem quickly. That would bug the crap out of me. Hootie

Very creative. Excellent job. Hootie

That is amazing! That line is so thin. Thanks a bunch. Hootie

Does anyone have any idea what the actual breaking strength of 12# Abrazx is? This has got to be the thinnest 12# line I have ever seen. Hootie

Actually, yesterday at BPS. I bought 2 spools of Seaguar Abrazx, 12#, 2 spools of Seaguar Red label 12#, a pack of 3" Chigger Craws, black, blue flk., a pack of Strike King Rage chunks, Okeechobee craw. That's it. Gotta love that discount....lol Hootie

LEWS, Then, Shimano. Hootie

That is an impressive haul. Hootie

You would think Walmart would make more of an effort, seeing as how they are the Major sponsor of the FLW. Hootie

This topic almost sounds dirty...lol Hootie

Thanks for the heads up. Hootie

I am checking out Memorial day sales, and most sites have so many exclusions, it almost seems the sale applies to anything, except anything you want. FRUSTRATING!!! Hootie

Okay guys, I coated 5 rod handles at 1:00pm, it is now 4:25pm and everything is dry. Wont be using them till Saturday anyway. Hootie

One question, how long does it take for the stuff to dry? Hootie
