Buy what suits you, not what someone else thinks you should use.

Dinks?? That was nice of CJ to let you hold his fish.

Pulling isn't the problem, stopping is the problem.

Most surge protectors only protect the manufacturer's bottom line. A simple APC UPS battery back-up will do wonders for any electronics setup.

BS,...You LOVE the high end techy clothing..........you are always matching........c'mon now, noone's calling you a metrosexual just because you have your crap together man! Yes, I love UA. But I rarely match.

I had at least two Elite fisherman contact me about the location of my 5 lb. mama.

I've owned and used three Revo S's, how many Citica 200E's have you owned?

What is the problem? All a matter of running the power wires to the battery, attaching the transducer to the boat (either TM or stern), mounting the graph and turning it on.

Amen. That or replace the axle with a Dexter EZ-Lube. Bearing Buddies... ;D If I had buddies like that, I sure don't need enemies.

Humminbird 565 since you're interested in detail. Resolution is the key for detail. Failing that, the Eagle Fishmark 320 offers a decent solution.

I don't care what I look like when I'm not fishing, much less fishing. Then again, not everyone is a sexy beast like myself.

As I said, you will not find a better reel for $120 or less. The Revo S, while not a bad reel, can't touch the Citica 200E with a 5 meter carp rod.

There is no need of 'fine-tuning' a centrifugal braking system. Compromise? What is compromising about activating two brakes and never having to worry about adjusting again? Magnetic braking acts at the wrong point of the cast. As far as adjusting on the water, it is as easy as quarter-turn, activate or deactivate collars and close the sideplate. 30 seconds tops. Some make the process out to be akin to overhauling a 12 cylinder engine.

Centrifugal. Why? Because I like braking that actually works. With regard to your centrifugal cons, it takes 10 seconds to adjust the braking on a Shimano reel. Higher maintenance? What maintenance is required? When I perform my yearly cleaning, I will clean the brake race with a cotton swab. Other than that, there is nothing to maintain.

The LTX is the best rod available at $150.

Please accept my condolences.

The LC Live Pointer is pretty much a turd.

There shouldn't even be a question. The Citica is a tank. The Exceller is one of Daiwa's budget reels.

I guess I'll have to start driving 5 hours every other weekend to help you win some money.

Just tell us about that bait already!

Very easily accessible for everyone. Take exit 150A from I-81, drive till you reach 460, make a left and drive to Bedford. 45 minutes from the interstate. That said, Bedford is hardly in the 'corner' of the state.
