Lews right........lol Hootie

Sutphen, Pemfab, Ferarra, Spartan, and E1. Back in the 70's and early 80's we also built cabs for American Lafrance. Hootie

A lot of profesional people on here. I changed my mind, I'm a retired brain surgeon..... Hootie

Who knows LMG, you may be riding in one of my trucks. Watch out for those welds on the front cross member left side....lol. Hootie

Very interesting topic Lag Issuez. Me, I'm a double nought spy...., seriously, I spent 45 yrs. As a welder, 32 of them building fire trucks. I dont know whos job was hotter, mine or the guys who wind up using the trucks. Hootie

LMG, go to your room!......lol Hootie

Can you be model loyal without being brand loyal? I mean, Chevy makes a Suburban, Ford don't. So if you're loyal to the Suburban, aren't you also being loyal to Chevy? Hootie

Wasn't that Joe Dimagio? Hootie

Yes absolutely. I flunked twice before I could do it right...... lol.. Thank you for pointing that out. I'll go correct that right now. Must have had a brain fart hung. Be patient, I'm old.....lol Hootie

Does anyone use these colorful little things. What do you think of them. Hootie

Sad, so sad......lol Hootie

I am loyal to ONLY one thing...... ME..... when it comes to spending my play money. I don't care what anyone thinks, all I care about is what I like and want. I know I tease LMG about converting me to Shimano, but truth is, working at BPS, and being behind the counter a lot, when we are slow I can pull different reels out of the display case and play with them. The more I messed with those Chronarchs, the more I liked them. Same for the Curados. I still use my Lews, my Revos, and my PQ'S. Variety is the splice, { yes, I said splice}, of life. It's what holds me together. I have also been known to tire of stuff very quickly. Last week I gave away 2 Duckett Micro magic rods, with Johnny Morris sig reels mounted on them. I had used them maybe 4 or 5 times. The cork wasn't even dirty, and the reels never had a scratch. I have a great retirement, and an extremely understanding wife. I buy whatever I want. I am very fortunate to be that blessed and I know it. So to all you brand loyal guys out there, ENJOY it. It's all fun!!! Hootie

BULL HOOEY!!! all BULL HOOEY !!! Hootie

The back of the flyer tells you how it works. Hootie

Those items are always listed as "SPECIAL PURCHASE" items. You just have to notice the signs in the store. Hootie

Once you hit the $100.00 and above mark, there are so many good reel choices, you would almost have to be trying to get a bad one. I am not brand loyal. I have PQ's, Johnny Morris sig. series, Lews, Shimano, {Chronarchs and Curados}. And as far as second guessing yourself, you can get crazy with that. PQ, no Revo S, no, Revo SX, no, STX, no, Premier...... and on and on. There's no end to that. Look em' over, make a decision, pick your reel, and go fishing. Hootie

Ohio......$19.00.....seniors......$10.00.....that's me. Hootie

The reel IS the Bionic Plus. The rod is different in that it does not have micro guides as someone in an above post has already suspected. I have played with the reel for a while in the store and I like it. Hootie

Maybe they don't know who you are, or how important you are.....lol. Do you realize there guys who walk in there and drop $40,000 on a boat, and then hit the fishing dept for who knows how much. Kinda makes $5000 almost seem insignificant..... perspective son perspective...lol. Hootie

Yes, $79.97 Hootie

I knew that was it,...I knew it....I knew it!!!! Hootie

How are your mods chosen, and are there different classifications? Just curious. Hootie

If I could go fishing, I would go.......GO!!! Hootie

My Walmart fishing department is so sparse, if I got 80% off on everything in the department, I could walk out with everything they have for about $6.00.....lol Hootie

I'm just checking on ebay, and it seems they, in the package, are going for about $5.00 to $10.00. Hootie
