How so?

Or just use these Cabela's Advance Anglers rod covers w/ hook sleeve

JDM Core 50Mg7

The bad things about covers like that is that you have to remove a crank or jerkbait before you can put the cover on the rod.

Does it have a SD card slot?

That's a shame, I was looking forward to seeing him in purple.

I don't know which is a bigger crime. The exclusion of Pete Rose or the exclusion of Ron Santo.

Interesting, as these two attributes rarely go hand in hand. have you seen this 1st hand? I could be wrong, but I think his creature baits do float. Like I said his jig trailers float and I think they have a little bit of salt in them. Of course their not chalked full of salt like Yamamoto baits but I pretty sure they do float. But you said they were filled with salt.

Reel - 158 grams Spool - 11.5 grams Will update as I get deeper inside.

Use a grease gun to put grease inside the coupler on the trailer. I'll hit it with 2-3 squirts every couple of months. Do you think that shiny ball is going to stay pristine? The ball on my truck now has been in use for a little more than three years. Even with regular greasing, it looks pretty bad.

Lowrance H2OC Screen is a bit small for navigation.

Humminbird 788ci Screen size, resolution and power should be your main concerns. Color is always better and a bigger screen is always better, especially with a GPS unit.

It was a fun game for the first couple of months. Now it is just a PITA to plant & harvest. They need a mass plow and a mass plant option.

They are expensive and a bit on the small side. But my anal retentive side does appreciate the level of organization. The terminal box is a great buy. I've got a couple of the deep crank boxes for storing specific baits. If I wanted to use only Falcon boxes, I would have to buy a bigger boat with more storage.

I'm guessing it's because this reel was designed to be fished, not stored. ;D Pricing issues.

Feels like holding a Steez. It is tempting to fill the spool, but I won't be fishing until Friday night, so I'm going to strip the bearings tonight and re-oil them. I am kind of disappointed that a reel cover wasn't included (the Aldebaran comes with a cover). I've got plenty of Shimano reel covers, but I was hoping for something a little different with this one.

It's here...

Always black.

Mine should be here tomorrow. Going to tear it down and do a lot of analyzing on the analytical balance tomorrow night.

Thanks for reminding me. Gotta set the DVR for this one. ;D

They were horrible hooks. Made Eagle Claws look like Owners.
