On most of my lower end -$100 shimano spinning reels (sienna, sahara, sedona) there's a gap (.021) in the grip on the handle. It looks to be arbor pressed in so how can I close the gap to where no side to side movement when I'm retrieving? I got some ideas but I'm wondering if there's a know solution for this

You lost me on that one

I've yet to bite the bullit and buy some, next time I'm out I'll get a few spools

I'm curious, do the veritas have the same action as the vendettas fast action, it's a bit underrated and feel more like a extra fast

Sure is a biggin, congrats

ah-ha, my wife says that with her setup

In one instance when you weren't fishing? Yesterday I was done fishing and driving back the path and decided to stop below the bridge to look into the water, saw some guy throwing in and well we started talking and he told me he was starting to get more serious into bass fishing this year. I spend over a half hour helping him out with the techniques he wanted to use and explain the types of old and new tackle he had in his new box, what locations to try and what to look for in the water to determine a better outcome. Seems like the time flied by, but I know it was the longest time I've ever talked to anyone about fishing without fishing.

A good day you catch 2 small ones.. 7" and an 8" smallie, I was out in the water for the other so no photo

The door swings both ways, for every guy with lower end gear that says that, there's a guy with higher end gear that things less about the other guys.

It depends on what you want to do (technique) and if you want to retie on a similar setup, you dont need a 100 combos to fish though...

For me, I prefer the middle ground. The intermediate level is good enough to be lighter/sensative/stronger/feels better in your hands than the most of the cheaper end equipment. It's tougher for me though since I have to use different tools to make me more comfortable to fish. It ain't easy being disabled, one heavy or rough feeling setup can wear me out faster holding it and disrupt my focus on what's going on with my line. I have a cheapo quantum UL rod that I can't use anymore due to the handle bothering me, the contour just doesn't deliver the comfort to hold long in my hand. So every time i go out to look at new gear I have to play with in store more than anyone just so I can enjoy my time on the water better. Some times it feel like the selection gets smaller, for example st croix's new legend tournament handles, they are uncomfortable to me but I'm sure people like them.

That's one healthy looking football, you make it look easy.

3/0 to 5/0 hooks.. Every package comes with instructions

Well since he fishes for fun too, the point of buying high end gear returning an investment, doesn't matter since he's enjoying them outside the 'job' aspect

Total 180 here, but I've bent jig hooks to get my lures out from being stuck, with no nicks in the line on 6lb It truly is a love/hate line

They look like minnows, like blacenose dace

What the hell??? I was just watching his show and this news comes up, d**n, RIP Edit: article http://www.news-press.com/article/20120406/NEWS0119/120406034/0/TEXTMESSAGING/Pilot-dies-after-plane-crashes-Everglades-Airpark?odyssey=nav%7Chead

I know in my state, it's drink. Number one answer for what someone else is doing

I never use conditioner, I should with the memory but after a few casts the wetness loosens it up and can go back down in lure weight easier

Didn't know that's how you guys lay it out. Unless I'm missing something on moble browser view I don't see a link to the original thread in the article format Perhaps I could ask why today's youth wear women's pants in the next fashion thread

Welcome aboard!

Heck yeah!! Must've been a hell of a time

10lb+, 30"+ chain pickerel. I kick myself every day for letting it go without a photo OR calling the fish commission.

A lot of the guys here fish with those and shiners, they end up catching more pickerel than anything
