Got both the PopMax and Pop X in perch.

Wanted add that I am happy to see American innovation built in Detroit by union labor. This is the best looking American vehicle I have seen in decades.

I think the new F-150 Lightening looks awesome! I've owned trucks, muscle cars and sports cars and appreciate gas power, but I am looking forward to instant electric motor torque. A frunk and 4.4 seconds 0-60 for $40k. Sign me up!

Thanks everyone!

Nice fish! Your videos are the best!

What are your favorite colors and what rod do you fish it on?

Sorry about adding that variable, but I thought you should think about it, since it's not much more money for the Conquest. I hope someone will do a review soon.

Trophy Husband. So I guess you could say I am in the service industry.

I would love to see a comparison of the NRX+ 843c MBR vs the Conquest 843c MBR. The Conquest is only $70 more.

It's really not my fault. I keep getting gift cards from my family. So I blame them. Also you guys for posting so many pics of cool stuff. hahaha. I know I have a problem with buying too much gear, but it's fun! Never had this problem with other hobbies. But if I think about it, I've spent way more on golf just in green fees.

Can you explain what you mean by snapped while setting it up? What were you doing? It's a composite rod (fiberglass and graphite) so I wouldn't say it's brittle. This rod has a lot of give in it. It's very moderate action.

I have had the 2 piece 6' UL for about 8 years. Never had a problem. I have caught many trout and even some 1-2 lb bass on the this rod. Great rod for $30. Maybe you got a bad one?

Some of the salon stylists don't even know to clean clippers. After my favorite barber retired, I tried a salon and I got a major rash on my neck. Had to go to the doctor. He said I had "barbers rash" from dirty clippers. Never again!

I think the current trends seems to be that if you are just starting out with a bait caster and you are a righty, it probably makes sense to go with LH retrieve. It's more efficient. A lot of us older guys started out when only RH retrieve bait casters were available, so that feels normal to us. Although it felt very weird at first, I am slowly moving over to LH retrieve. I do still like RH for moving lures. At the end of the day, the fish don't know. Go with what feels more comfortable to you.

Nice fish! Congratulations!

Nice selection. What size are the jigs?

For a 10 year old an Ugly Stik Youth Combo is another good option. It's $40 and has a 2 piece 5'6" medium rod. It's lighter and has a thinner split grip which is good for smaller hands. You can use the leftover $20 to buy some hooks and plastic worms. https://www.purefishing.com/products/gx2-spinning-youth-combo-1292385?variant=34572589629573 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ugly-Stik-GX2-Youth-Spinning-Reel-and-Fishing-Rod-Combo/33588651

I tried that once while crossing a reservoir and caught one pretty quickly, but I missed all the chuck and wind. ? It's so much easier with a pedal kayak.

If you are going with the crossfire, I would suggest the 2500. The 2500 is a safe and versatile choice. It's actually one of Daiwa's shallow spool models, so the 2500 only holds 110 yards of 8lb mono, which is plenty. That's also less line than the comparable Shimano 2500 Sienna which holds 140 yards of 8lb mono. https://daiwa.us/collections/spin-reels/products/crossfire-lt If you can spend a little more, the Revros gets good reviews. Also a shallow spool. https://daiwa.us/collections/spin-reels/products/revros-lt As suggested above, either straight 8lb mono or 15lb braid with a leader will work.

I do the same with a 1/4 oz Kastmaster on a ML baitcaster with 8 lb flouro. It's so much fun.

My advice is do not read the "Fishing Rods, Reels, Line and Knots" section here. It will cause you to spend a lot of money. ?

I've had the same thing happen where someone was flying a drone above me fishing. It's super annoying.

I also use Texas Tackle but I have the chrome "Executive" model. I don't know which one is better haven't tried the regular model. I just ordered mine online after seeing so many good reviews of Texas Tackle. They are easy to use.

That looks really good. Are your plastics on the top shelf still in bags in open Plano boxes with no dividers?

I posted this before but we still need truck companies to bring this back.
