Hi Salenity

I think mine shipped from China

I think mine shipped from China

The old Extremes are great but I hated the noisy recoil guides.

Check EBay for toesocks i got a few pairs for a few bucks.

I have a 2013 ML and had a 2012 M I liked both extremes and I don't think you'll make a bad choice Btw I kept the ML

I wore a pair as boat shoes all year last year (skeletoes). I love them but this year I'm wearing flip flops or nothing ...

^^^ and once again no invite

Not to go all off topic but I use my core 50 for light baits and a 50e on one jerkbait rod but to me the 200 series reels are huge so I've sold them and replaced them with smaller profile reels (TP's)

I like them. Some of the first ones had crooked guides and reel seats that came unglued but lately they all seem to be good sticks.

All we caught were dinks but they were in probably 0-5' of water and easy to catch.

Yep

Me and Peter went to Melvern yesterday from around 5- dark From the time we got on the water we were pretty much catching them at will. Most of them were dinks except for the brown fish I broke off at the boat it looked to be in the 17-18" range. Oh, and Peter caught this thing.

Nice, how old is the boat?

The MG only has magnetic breaks, get one with centrifical? breaks and thank me later.

Yes, sorta at least that's the idea

I think everyone needs to go to this lake! Me and Peter went last Sunday. We caught fish steadily all day, once we got past that nazi bi$$h at the gatehouse. Btw she will spray your boat/carpet down with bleach water before you launch. If we have 10 boats it will take forever to get everyone on the water. Back to the fishing. We got lots of fish and caught them pretty much every ware around the lake from 1' to 17'. If it was rocky we were catching smallies including our/peters big fish of the day a 18" smallie that went just under 3# Other than that we caught a bunch of dinks! It was bad enough at one point I thought I caught a decent fish so I measured it and it was only 15" :-/ No doubt the lake has big fish but they flat out outsmarted us :-(

Probably not a good four wheeler or boat

This is a Internet forum, your going to have to get used to things straying some.

Ill have to agree, a nice clean filet isn't bad but the catfish "nuggets" are as bad as it gets! Ill take generic fish sticks over nuggets any day!

I haven't kept any in a couple years but I like cutting them up in chunks and frying them with Andy's Red and serve it with tarter sauce. A lot of the lakes I fish have a 18" length limit and wile I love bass especially the flakeyness of the bigger ones the last time I kept any it was 2 at 3+# and one at 5# to me those are tooooo good of a fish to keep and I wish you could take 17" fish instaid

I'm going to watch Jamey Johnson at P&L

I don't have a lot of luck with them. If I use one I'm searching for something to work, they haven't ever been the magic bullet for me.

I have a white one with a silver blade tied on now

I've thrown one for 30+ years My dad has always used the brown agila? I'm 100% positive he has one tied on now.

I love smokers!
