The few more important things are seeing my girlfriend and getting a new phone before mine goes completely out.

I don't pay bills or anything sooo...

I've owned a Black Max. I know it isn't much, but I don't know if my boss will keep me around so I'm trying to manage money as if it'll be my last paycheck for a while. That's the only reason I'm considering a cheap reel.

Hoping to buy a new reel in the next few weeks, just have a few more important things to worry about first. Trying to decide to go with a Black Max, just so I can have the rest of my paycheck to buy some baits and line, amongst other things, or to buy something more expensive, like a Tatula, and have less of my paycheck for the other things. Anyone was to persuade me to one choice or the other? I wouldn't mind either decision, just not sure which would be the smarter decision.

I was gonna pick some Dingers up today as well, but I didn't see any. I've used them before but never caught anything on them. That was before I had the patience to fish them weightless though.

The closest BPS is about 2-2 1/2 hours away, unfortunately. Probably a good thing though. I have a feeling I'd never have money if there was one closer.

I finally broke down and tried the Senko since I couldn't get any bites at the pond on anything else. I like the fall action and the texture, but for it to be $7 a bag, I'd hope they'd be a little more durable. On the other hand, I did get two bites, but didn't catch either. Oh well, at least I know I can get bites on it.

Of course when I get a job and don't have time to fish it stops raining every day. Lol then again, it's kinda a good thing because I work outside and we can't do very much when it rains.

Second day went good. Kinda sucked for the first six hours, but the last four or so were actually enjoyable. Working from 7-6.

I'm gonna save up if I can resist the urge to spend money. It'll be nice to be able to buy things now. I'll probably put back $50-$100 away each week.

Thanks! I have to work 11 hours the next few days. It's a nursery.

Well guys, I got a job. Could be for a week, could be for months. Time to go see my girlfriend and buy some stuff for my quad and a new rod and reel setup.

I replace it with the trick worm.

Ribbon tail worm. Used to be all I used, now I don't even have any.

Can't post pics on here, but I got it. I just have to order a new pawl and I'll hopefully be smart enough to fix it.

The last bass I got down there was on a suspending jerkbait. I forgot to pick one up at Wal-Mart the other day, also forgot Senkos. The only thing I got was some flukes.

I took my Pflueger apart to see what I need to buy to fix it. How do I get the line guide off the reel? Took both side plates off, took the screw out of the handle side and the clip and washers off of the other side. It's free, but I don't know how to get the worm gear out and the plastic pieces separated.

The T-rig and frogs will work well. Maybe try a weightless fluke.

The size bass is luck of the draw. I think most people rig up Senkos T-rig and fish them weightless. They have a nice action while falling. Just try a few different things. I've never fished Senkos, so I'm not much help.

I used it on my Black Max when I had it. Seemed to do well, but I didn't get to use it much. I got a new reel and my sister needed a new one so I sent it to her. She still hasn't used it. Really wish she'd give it back.

You have to watch some of those sites, they'll sell you knockoffs. One of my friends found a site that was supposedly selling Oakley's for $20. He bought a pair and I told him they were counterfeit and he got ticked. He traded for real RayBans. About a month later the site got taken down for selling counterfeit products.

I went earlier and I just done a slow retrieve with a few twitches every now and again. Didn't catch anything and my reel messed up. Gonna be a while before I get it fixed and get back out.

I'm gonna make the switch to braid. I've never been a fan of it, but I'm tired of dealing with mono. I guess I'll try some 20 or 30 pound Spider Wire.

Psh, I wish that 426 was mine. It wouldn't let me upload a pic of my quad. I work on guns and plan to start working on bikes/quads and reels. I can't afford a new reel and this is the only one I've got, so I guess I kinda have to learn to repair it.

Negative, gonna fix it myself.
