Chatterbait trailer
I commend you for taking the time and effort to come up with something unique. Good Luck I hope you find what you’re looking for Mike

Why can't I flip?!?!
This ^^^^^ If no line comes off the reel, either the line is dug in or casting knob is too tight. If line does come off the reel, your thumb is too tight on your upswing preventing the line to come off Mike

Buying From Small Shops vs Big Shops
I’m at the point now that I rarely try something new. I know what I like and what works for me in the conditions and waters I frequent, so most times I just buy on line. Mike

Road To The Super Bowl 2023
Its hard for me to place a single player on a pedestal regardless of how many rings and accomplishments he has in the ultimate team sport. Brady has become the poster boy for trying to recapture glory when the end is in sight. Not saying he’s there which could very well be, but it’s coming The thing that does stand alone is his team first attitude. Even when it comes to accepting less to help the team…(Hey Rodgers you listening??) But the thing that I do admire is he gets ticked as @TnRiver46 mentions. The passion is real not self centered like a few others. Couldn’t care less if he yells at his players or throw tantrums. Mike Agree Thst game could be over by half time!! Mike

Florida giants
Well… I don’t know what to tell you. If you’ve hired about a dozen professional guides and none were to your liking, the only thing I would suggest is to ask around who local people have hired and talk to them before you commit to see if you gel. Mike

Florida giants
The vast majority of my 8+ fish have been from early February to late April with my PB the first week of March. From the St Johns, Toho and Kissimmee Chain to the North, East to the Stick/Farm 13 and a few others, and then South to The Lake. For numbers in the 4-6 lbs range I’d say now to late May. All artificial (Again, get a guide if you’re really not that experienced on any of them) Mike

The MSRP for my Tempest hard top was $2935 with the GTO option of 295.90!! Total with all the options mine priced out at $3890! Mike

Old Cars
All GTO’s in ‘64 and ‘65 was an option based on the Tempest line which was a trim and slight performance package upgrade of the Lemans. There’s always been confusion about which car the GTO was based on as they we’re basically the same car. On my 65’s original Build Sheet and Billing and History Card, the GTO option code for the Tempest is #382 for cars built at the Pontiac Mich plant. For cars built at the Kansa City and Baltimore plants the code could be different. The GTO didn’t become its own model until ‘66. Since in 64 and 65 the GTO package was an option, they were/are one of the most cloned cars. That’s why anyone interested in buying one of those years, investing in a complete build history from the Pontiac Historical Society is a must. Mike

What line should I use for Chatterbaits/ what line do you use for Chatterbaits?
What’s the problem? Sniper or any other quality flouro is a great choice. Mike

Yep, I’ve had it fir 32 yrs and it’ll still snap you back in the seat. All numbers matching. Nope, none of that stuff The truck is big enough that you could lay down in it. The seat belts were a 32.00 option! Mike I’ll bet you miss it!! The rear drums were like that. Mine came with power brakes with metallic shoes that helped, but you still had to get into them pretty hard Mike
