Pencil Pusher

That reel has a large capacity spool and power handle; correct nomenclature is 5000B.

Put them away and in 40 or 50 years, your heirs can sell them on Ebay as collector items. ;D ;D

If OU and Texas win out, Tech is beaten by Oklahoma and wins against OSU and Baylor then it will all come down to number 5. At that point I think it will be a toss up as to which team is ranked higher.

Crucial or Falcon Cara are both good at around $150.

The Code Red has just now become available, at least at online stores.

No true. I bought two Energy PT's at BPS. The reason they aren't listed right now is because BPS closed out the old one's and the new one's aren't available yet. BPS did the same thing with the Curado's and Citica's.

Why am I not surprised!!!

Is there anything you're not an expert at? Exactly when were you in the military? I can tell you this, while most non-combat specialties qualify only periodically, the safety on the range far exceeds what goes on at many civilian ranges and shooting events. As a veteran and a gun owner, in my opinion, no civilian should be allowed to own a fully automatic weapon of any kind, much less be allowed to shoot it. There is absolutely no use for a fully auto weapon except one: to kill another human.

Go buy a couple of those $60 Shimano Crestfire's or Coriolis's and then come back and tell us how good Shimano is. It more than likely was the braid slipping and had nothing to do with the drag.

Missouri must have changed the law. To buy a handgun, you used to have to go buy the gun then the dealer filled out paperwork (not the 4473) which you took to the county sheriff. the sherrif then took about three days to do a background check. Then, you went back and picked up the permit that you took back to the dealer and picked up your gun. You had to do this each time you bought a handgun.

When I was fishing tournaments in Missouri years ago, thats what a lot of guys used (me too). We'd buy the cheapest full face K Mart had. Makes for a much more pleasant blast down the lake.

10 or 12 lb McCoy's Mean Green.

You can substitute regular hybrid for baling wire, the ultra soft is more like leader wire.

I've never seen you flip, but I'll put my money on Denny Brauer or Dee Thomas. BTW, Denny showed me how to flip years ago.

The Golden Wing series was discontinued around 2001 (unless Fenwick resurrected the name for GM). The rods were priced between the HMG and the Iron Feather, which was replace by the Techna AV. I have a couple of Golden Wings and they are nice. At that price, I would grab it in a minute. I don't think you will find a better rod at three times the price.
