  1. Not bad idea ... Oh, she buys me gift cards to tacklewarehouse twice a year. Birthday and Christmas !
  2. Too Much ! but I always sell my items first on forums/ebay. Then I start looking for the next good deals
  3. Nice work ! Once I get a house with a man cave. Airbrush is something that I will be looking into.

    Welcome Man Just ask any questions ...someone will provide you their "secret"
  5. Was sick yesterday at work, my colleagues kept telling me to go home. This morning, my wife "kinda of " force me to stay home. She knows that I hate laying in bed, she mention to me that I could clean up the "HOUSE" You guys, Alpha males know that we don't do that. Instead, I told myself to prepare for : Prespawn ...The best time to lurk out the fat girls out of the water Went to the garage and checked on the jigs, spinnerbaits and chatterbaits. Upon my inspections, there were some rubbers that was half way apart or going to be ripped. I decided to look at YouTube/make a short trip to the store to get some some 22ga cooper wire. Came home and took my time to do it right... After 5 hours of doing over 60 items. I stood back and looked at it.... "Doofus, Why didnt I do those ages ago" At least this sick boy can learn something new today....and I am about to do the kitchen to act like i actually "cleaned up" the place.
  6. MUST STAY AWAY --- STOP Looking for those shimano curado K . lucky there isnt any 6.2.1 speed available, only the high ones at 7 and 8 ratio. However, I have been looking at the Daiwa Tatula Type R 100H . I just dont think I would like the T-Wings. I like something that is round like this "O"
  7. That's funny cuz I have something similar to that
  8. Very short life I would say that they just slapped more grease on the gears to make it smooth.
  9. I just cant just use the TWS T-wings - It just doesnt look/feel right on me. I just dont know. If it was the Dawia SV103H - SV - S U R R R L Y !
  10. Looks like the idea speed is 6.2.1. I want something that is a small profile at 100/150 size. If I could use the 50 size. I would but I am afraid I would run out of line. Am thinking about the Curado K or Curado 200I 6.2.1 With few more bucks. I can move up to Chronarch CI4+.
  11. Just received the Dobyns 736CB glass today and I couldnt be happy with it. I was going to pair it up with the Scoripin 70HG (7.2.1) but I am afraid that I wouldn't have much line on it. Not only that, It might be too fast for me. What ratio do you guys use to keep the bait at the strike range.
  12. Same here ! I always check once in a while during the tournament. If I catch a bass, I check the line to make sure that there is no nicks on it. if not, Fire away and hope there is a monster waiting for ya.
  13. Pro Qualifer is a good reel that I still have two of them. I am using 12 lbs line and could throw up to 30 yards without trying. Have you tried to play around with those ? Just make sure that you leave two UP and and four down Start it slow so that way you dont get a bird nest...then practice to increase your confidence. We ll have been there. (Example) How is your brake set up ? I tend to leave mine at 3 or 2 depending on the reel/line Im using.
  14. Nice to pay it forward ....
  15. Is this a fair price to ask $170 shipped for all three? Breakdown would be 57 bucks a rod ? Or am I being too low on that ?
  16. Update: Just ordered the mislabeled Dobyns 736CB glass today at lunch Just don tell the wife ...YET. Gotta try this way: DC 736CB glass: chatterbait DC734C : spinnerbait First one is 736CB Glass but has mark as 735CB Glass. Second Link is Actual 735CB but mark as 736CB Glass. if you arent sure, Just give dobyns a call ..I just ordered one myself today though them. Dobyns Rods 1 (530) 671-1989 info@dobynsrods.com

  18. I have been using the Sufix 832 Braided Line Ghost at 10lbs line. Its been great as I can watch the move knowing that something "took" it. If the line is green, I cant tell and i would have to based on "feel".
  19. Mods - Please let me know if this is okay- Have three rods that I'm considering selling to project another fund as its been sitting in the storage waiting to be placed back in action Johnny Morris Signature Elite Series: JXE76XT 7'6 (Power: Heavy, Action Extra Fast --Casting Rod) CarbonLite: CL70HTXF 7'0 (Power Heavy, XFast Action -- color:black Casting Rod) Carbonlite: CL72MSDS: 7'2 (Power: Med, Action: Fast -- color: back Spinning Rod) What do you think those go for ?
  20. Awesomeness @A-Jay Kudos to you for paying it forward ...
  21. Just made a phone call today to dobyns. We both agreed that the 736CB Glass will be the one ! Now, Its time to use someone's credit card
  22. Bless your casting skills, you lucky dog Most of my snap is always at the connection between FC/Braid. I have tried so many knots but i think the guides are so small that it would just kaput ! I have switched to full braid or FC to make my life easier. Only on spinning reels which is more forgiving..
  23. Hey Marylanders - Where can I find a rod builder nearby my house One of my rod is having issue with the locking the reel in. It's kinda of slipping. It appears that I would need to have the handle grip replaced as I tried the plumber tape to see if it would hold but nope. Want to have someone near PG or AA County so that I can bring it in and have it replaced.
  24. I love the OG CarbonLite (black) rods. It just feels right and light. I have pulled up some big hawgs on it. I just wish that they would get rid of the white colors. That's the only reason why I'm a Dobyns fan
  25. You Canadians ! Oh, Im married to one Nice Swimbait that is
