  1. That's really awesome !!!!
  2. Johnny Morris Signature series 7-6 heavy extra fast.
  3. Absolutely!!! Fish can shut down for a long time especially in the cold.Thats why I laugh when guys complain they fished 2 hours and caught nothing.
  4. Yeah sure. And Toyota airbags fit Honda and Chrysler because they get them from the same manufacturer..
  5. How so ? There are no American made low profile reels made from all American parts. That boat sailed long ago . So all I can do is support American businesses at this point. Nothing Ironic about that. Also aren't reels bought out of USA not warrantied?
  6. Skipping bait.
  7. every lews ive purchased was made in korea. not a single one says made in china on it. my 2 custom lites say korea also.doyo does have factories in china but a quick internet searcg shows no difference in quality control. some reels may have parts from both china and korea. It also makes no difference as Shimano and Diawa both buy parts from Doyo as previously discussed on this forum. It sounds like the 60s when people were saying not to buy Japanese products.
  8. I'd never buy overseas. I'd rather pay more and support or business over here.
  9. Any of the 199$ Lew's reels.The tournament Pro is the best do everything reel.The bb1 is the best crankbaits reel.the sp is good for skipping and pitching.
  10. I second that. I had 2 of the previous generation problem free for 8 years and now my daughter has 2 more years on them still no issues. Only reason she has them is I upgraded to custom lites .
  11. That was my first baitcaster. Great design. They never should have stopped it.
  12. It's not your line. Lilly pads are the worst.
  13. After 34 years of right handed baitcasters I switched all to lefty. Still getting used to it but I do like it better.
  14. Lew's tournament pro on a Johnny Morris signature series 7-2 mh fast. Or a Dobyns Sierra micro 734.
  15. Wow !!! My brain hurts !!!! Way to much overthinking here. I use a Palomar on everything and have never had a knot fail in over 30 years I've been using it.
  16. You guys obviously don't fish heavy veggies. A 7 lb bass with a ton of weeds 15 feet down and wrapped up requires brut force.
  17. Never had a spinning reel dig. Only happens with baitcasting.
  18. I've said it before and I'll say it again. NEVER USE BRAID UNDER 50 LB. TEST ON A BAITCASTER !!!! I'm a big 832 fan but I might try Vicious No Fade Braid this year.
  19. Don't know but I'm anal about it. My buddy never glues his and has no issues. In my head a frayed tag end looks like a tiny bit of weed and I never catch fish with a lure if it has weed on it. I completely loose all confidence.
  20. Jig in a laydown.
  21. I am definitely brand loyal to Fuji guides. I'm not saying others aren't good but I've had very few issues with Fuji guides. I've never had any issues with their alconites or sic guides .
