Here we go again, shimano, shimano shimano! Sheesh!!! Hootie

If you are walking down the street and pass someone who says good morning, you will have forgotten it by the end of the day. But if, instead of saying good morning, that same person punches you in the face, you will remember that for the rest of your life. MORAL, bad really stands out! Hootie

This stuff is hillarious!!! Tee hee hee!!! Hootie

I think I would rather fish alone, than have to keep reffering to your check list. When there is a long list of rules, the fun is gone. Hootie

James D, I agree with you 100%. You, my young friend, are QUITE disturbed. Ahh, the arrogance of youth! Hootie

I cant believe I am actually reading this goofy post. I know, maybe I am just dreaming.......PINCH.......no, its real. Hootie

That to me is a no brainer. My son is the best fishing buddy. Started taking him fishing with me when he was 5 yrs old. We still fish together every weekend. By the way, he just turned 48 yrs old. Hootie

Nope, just opinionated. Hootie

Thats me, 6 TSS's, 4 Dobyns, and 2 Duckett micro magic rods. Hootie

Im going with the probably panfish crowd. Hootie

Well said. Hootie

Lews..........GAME OVER!!!! Hootie

I start fishing as soon as I get to the lake. Tee hee hee! Hootie

Just so ya know, I just received my 6th one today from TW. I am one happy camp....,er, I mean bass fisherman! TSS, by the way. Hootie

I seen Joe Thomas on "Reelin in the Outdoors", recommend Sprite. Hootie

Lews, Lews, Lews. I want nothing but Lews!! They are back and they are BAD!!! GO HOME SHIMANO!!! Hootie

You are quite welcome. Hootie

Years ago, when drag washers were made of leather, we had to loosen the drag after a days fishing. I still do this religiously after every fishing trip. But I am wondering, what with all the high tech drag washer materials today, is this really necessary? Hootie

Is your drag too loose? Hootie

WOW!!, excellent! Hootie

If I am getting ready to spend $100 or $200 on a reel, the only first impression that counts is mine. Hootie

Just that it sounded more like a campaign speech than a subject. No offense intended. Hootie

Where I fish, the bass insist on Lews reels mounted on Dobyns rods, throwing Strike King baits, tied to Yozuri hybrid line. Yeah, theyre just weird like that. Tee hee hee! Hootie

I think the point is, how can you make a valid comparison between a reel you have never used, to one you use all the time.Hootie
