Easier to cast, better on shoulders and elbows. I can cast spinning rig just as far or maybe farther than casting with less effort.

Not too heavy, I use 16# test Sunline Sniper .

I have 4 spinning rigs and all are m/f that I throw small plastics with. I am thinking about getting a H/F and using braid on it for throwing bigger plastics. MLF has an article on Randy Howell doing this. Getting older I think spinning is better on you than casting.

Have a shop replace it or do it yourself. Look on youtube for how to. You will be disappointed if you try to epoxy it.

Might find one on eBay.

Prayers for his family, he will be missed greatly.

What makes you think it is a scam!! ?

Dang, it's been that kind of day so far. Thanks!!!

Yep, you,re right, I meant to say left, senior moment. Went back and corrected it.

Smart move. I wish I had started when I was 27. It's too late to turn back the clock but I do everything possible now to protect my skin. Do you know where most people get skin cancer, on the left side of the face. I have a friend who hardly got in the sun yet he got skin cancer from driving a car. He was a traveling salesman who drove a bunch. The sun coming through the window did the damage.

Best thing you can do, I know it has been said but I want to say it again, cover up and get checked. I have been where Matt has, squamish cell on my face.I just had my 4th cancer cell cut off. It is never too early to start with getting checked. I also get checked 2 times a year. I am 70 and have lived in the sun at least 65 of those years.

In Mississippi we call them a Magnolia crappie. Here is a article on them. https://www.ms-sportsman.com/content/in-search-of-the-magnolia-crappie-why-mdwfp-biologists-created-a-third-species-of-this-popular-panfish/

Just when you thought you have seen it all, I guess he is waiting on his trolling motor.

I took my divider out because I use my live well for storage. If I go crappie fishing for some meat, I just take a cooler with ice.

10# Power Pro yellow to 7# Sunline Sniper.

Love a story with a happy ending!!

Can't say it any better!!!

To me it is hard to beat crappie followed by bass, bream, catfish.

Love kids looking at fishing tackle instead of video games.

It's a mess for sure. This is a bad time to be ordering anything. Ordered 2 small items for my boat. The second item which I ordered 2 days after the first got here first besides comes the furthest distance. I did a notice on ebay that I have not received the item. Tracking showed it at a main hub for nearly a week. The seller email me back that it has moved and it's headed my way. Strange my tracking didn't show that. Don't think I will order anything anytime soon.

<<<<I hardly ever stop, twitch a crankbait or spinnerbait. I throw it out and reel it in.

The outfits you listed were top notch in their day. I had a bunch of Skyline rods. I hated it when they went out of business. Everyone one wanted an Ambassadeur 5500C. Yea, all are outdated and there are lot better rods and reels but you can still fish with what you got.

Most of my jigs has some chartreuse in it. I also have chartreuse in a spinner bait.

I have been fishing Falcon rods since the 90's, still using 3 of the orginal Lowriders. I have some Buccos and hate they are no longer made in US but I think they are the best bang for the buck.
