    d**n ...I was just at two of the local Walmarts and they had nothing there ...I need to find some good ones
  4. Please do use a few yards of Mono or FC as backing - then spool it up. it will help !
  5. There are plenty of shore fishing in DC. DC licence is pretty cheap for year (12 bucks) For me in the spring and summer time, I tend to fish at the Theodore Roosevelt Island which is a good spot to start your addiction. Thank you for this thread - I just realized that I need to order my 2017 Licence for DC online
  6. Got 5 of their Pro Qualifier - They are just like ABU Garcia STX (GEN 2). I always grab one or two every year...

    Awesome Bro --- Im surprised that they took your price of $44. Now get that bad boy on the water soon ! We surely lucked out on this
  8. Scuba Steve - Most Memorial Item that I have snagged was this headset that was thrown in the lake. Suspect that this guy was ticked after finding out that they lost the game ...
  9. I gotta check that out ...I am in need for more weights and this might solve my problem
  10. Would love to have one of those but how will this fit into my Nissan Sentra ? it gotta hang out of the windows or put on the Thule Rack !
  11. Thanks for the tip - Im gotta try it out again for the last time .. If no success, think I can send it out to you ? if you have the parts available in your shop ?

    I once bought a Falcon Bucoo Micro Guide Casting Rod 7' Medium for $29.99 bucks. (Retail at $119) I knew there was a mistake on it but I wanted to see if this would go though the casher. This guy looked at rod and looked at me with a long pause.... Said "This doesn't look right....this rod looks ....like but whatever...." and rang it up. 4 years later - it still my square bill cranking rod with Abu Garcia Wrench.
  13. After 9 years of Hard Bass Fishing - I have not caught one on a d**n Jig. This year's goal: Use mostly jigs at the lake that I practice at.
  14. Was looking at several YouTube videos on swimbaits. I have this Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 6600 C4 (Made in Sweden) that been sitting on the desk of mine for a while. Originally, got this for catfishing which I have caught some big ones (45+ lbs.) Every time I turn or crank it. It would give this grinding feeling. I do not have this problem with others reels that I have maintenance for the last few years. I have taken this apart, put it back together and grease the crap out of it and put bearing oil, Reel Oil and grease. It still comes out same way. I have looked at the gears which showing no marks or stretch. I am just stumped at this moment. I don’t think it’s the bearings which has nothing to do with the grinding feeling. I have follow the schematic to perfection. It doesnt do for it at all. I must have taken it apart like over 30 times and no luck. However, there is a problem that I can’t detect easily since I am not able to hear (Profoundly Deaf) to find the culprit of the issue. But I can feel it. I’m not sure if it’s the gear or I’m just plain “stupid”. Should I just pony up the dough and have someone can detect it and fix the problem at the spot or spend the dough on the new main/pivot gear (ereplacementpart) for 35 bucks. I don’t want to ship to someone then it comes back the same. Your advice ?
  15. Best Option: Shakespeare Spiderman Rod/Reel Kit ! On the Serious Side: St. Croix Legend Tournament Spin Rod 6'10" Medium ($260) Shimano Stradic Ci4+ Spinning Reel (2500) ($229.99 Total: $489 <--- Paid by the Forum Members
  16. This year Mojo bass has the same blanks as the AVID X or Avid The differeance is the price range of the parts - I would get the Mojo Bass since I like to have Braid Line (15lbs) with 10lbs FC line (6 feet). the Guide is soo tiny on the Avid X unless I go "Straight" 10lbs FC Line.
  17. Exactly why I got them ----
  18. Ardent Reel Butter Grease - you can pick it up at walmart if they have it there, its the Yellow stuff
  19. Thanks Guys - Just decided to get the 9530 and 9535. The 9530 will go to 7'2 M/F Black CarbonLite Rod (Hate those white ones, UGLY Color). That tend to be my soft-bait Jerk-bait rod. The 9535 will go to 7 M/F Mojo Bass Rod (Grubs/Tubes). It should arrive on the 28th ---
  20. Bass Pro Shops CatMaxx 7'6 MH Rod with Fast action Abu Garcia Ambassadeur C4 6600c4 Spooled with 40 Lbs Mono Line Hook: Owner 10/0 Hook Bait: Top Secret Target: 40+ Lbs Catfish
  21. I got the Buff, Cabelas' Guidewear and SA. Cabalas Guidewear/SA get my vote. The SA that I alwasy wear has the Califorina Flag on it. I have the "Rebel" but I refuse to wear in this town since everyone is so "ISM" lately.
  22. Thanks guys - Funny thing is that I was THERE yesterday to look at it but they didn't have Patriarch there. but I will look into the Supreme size on 30 and 35 to see the difference. Its only a 15 mile drive for me so I think I should be good as I'm considering going back to BPS again. I have the shimano stradic ci4+ 2500 on my wacky rod. Cant wait for the wife to get home - she got the car right now !
  23. Am Looking to replace two reels on my spinning set up. I have been going back and forth on those two size. I wanted to get the 9530 Patriarch but should I be looking at 9535 ? It will go on my Mojo Bass M/F Rod and Carbonlite 7'2 M/F Rod. is the 9535 as the same size as 2500 ? Im thinking of getting both and put the 9535 on Mojo and 9530 on CarbonLite but wanted to hear from you guys before pulling the trigger on it. Thanks
