Shimano SLX MGL vs Curado 70
I bought my last Scorpion MGL from them and it was free shipping with no customs fees. I think the SLX MGL is like $118 right now. Got my Scorpion in about 8 days total. BTW, I have an SLX MGL and it is a nice little reel and hard to beat for $120

Thoughts on torn seats.
To me, it's kind of like the bed of a pickup. If it is used, it's probably going to show wear. Used doesn't always equal abused though.

Return of the XCalibur Squarebill
Straight from Stetson Blaylock's FB page: @booyah_baits XCS 100 that I caught them on at St. John’s River! This bait is the exact remake of the old xcalibur bait that was so deadly! Same mold, same plastic, and some awesome colors! I’ll be showing you more of this bait as time goes on? I also went ahead and ordered 17 more of the 2 5/16 just to make sure I had some of each size while they were on sale. I got an email this morning with a tracking number saying they had been shipped.

Humminbird Helix 9"; which to buy -- for helm?
I just recently bought a new boat and chose the Helix 8 with Mega SI/DI at the console. Only regret is I wish I would have went with the 10. I use split screen with DI/Sonar on the left top/bottom and SI on the right side of the screen. Sure would be nice to have a bigger screen.

I can't watch with audio but what scent was Bryan Thrift using? It was in a jar and it looked like he was caking it on pretty thick.
- Shimano Metanium 2020 Spec(size)

What’s your go to lure for bed/spring fishing first thing in the morning?
Any kind of chop I'm throwing a buzzbait, calm water I'm throwing a Pop Max. I will give it a little bit to see if they are interested then go to the sweet beaver or baby brush hog.

New Curado 70
For the price of the SLX MGL 70 I am finding that I like it more and more each time I use it. I finally decided to dedicate it to a 7'2 MH Zodias and use it for 3/16 oz Texas Rigging.

Return of the XCalibur Squarebill
Cabelas has them listed as 2 5/16" and 2 3/4". Would you say that would be 1/2 oz and 3/4 oz or like 3/8 and 5/8? I originally ordered the 2 3/4" thinking they would be about 5/8 but now thinking they are probably a little heavier. SO now I am trying to decide if I need some of the 2 5/16" as well. I think the XCS 100 was 2" - 1/2 oz and the XCS 200 was 2 3/4" - 5/8 oz so I am not sure where these will come in at. Assuming they will be 0-3' divers as well?

Can you recommend a deep crank reel?
I throw mine on a Bantam MGL 6.2, but they make a 5 ratio if you want to go that direction. I throw it on a Curado 7 M M Glass rod and I love it. I'm not much of a deep cranking guy, but I enjoy throwing one on this setup.

2020 new Shimano reel release?
Dang man, I bought one about a month ago for $153. Always check those overseas websites first.

Return of the XCalibur Squarebill
Well, not sure if it is an error or what. I looked for them on the BPS site and it says not available. Found them on Cabelas for $2.99 just like you said. I ordered 28, so hopefully it's legit.

Replacement Treble Hooks
Be honest, you have this saved somewhere so you can just paste it here when the topic of treble hooks comes up, don't you?
