Decided to give the Skeet Reese designed Revo a go today. So I took my Zillion off my GLX , and gave the GLX a new mounty. First impression was WOW! I was casting 1/2oz baits and it easily matched or bettered casting distance of the Zillion. The big deal was the weight, had to keep checking if was on there, compared to the Zillion the Reese Revo is a light weight! Haven't experienced the annoying bearing noise I was getting from previous Premiers either. Lastly, I really like the fact that the reel has no magnetic brakes and uses a centrifugal system like my Shimanos! So far so good, I will keep her on there for a bit and see how it does.

x2, get the best deal and go with that rod.

Have a 7'2" MH Fast Action, LOVE IT! Broke one while high sticking it, my fault. Great rod for the price point!

"Officer/Homeowner, I swear to you the gun I have in my hand isn't real! I am in no way endangering your life or the life of others around me as I point this fake gun towards you or them." If you were the homeowner/robber in this situation, would you draw your weapon? Would you pull the trigger if said "fake gun" was pointed at you? If you answered yes to both of these questions then you are sane. If not than you are .......(I won't go there).

fatmanslim247, dude, if you can document the warranties that were voided. Give me the people's name, I have a college buddy of mine that is a "class action" lawyer. Your stealership would join the ranks of GM and Chrysler. , but you can be the whistle blower. ;D

I owned a VW 2002 Jetta and I used a APR performance chip ECU, the kind the was permanent, and swapped out my to my factory ECU about 50-100 miles before taking it in. I don't care how many codes it throws, there is no way you could prove I had a non-factory ECU, since the factory one was in the vehicle before servicing generating code logs. I guess most people don't restore factory settings to ECU before servicing and run it for a bit (?) Nevertheless, the darn VW was the worst vehicle I had ever and would not recommend it for anyone. Although the engine was rock solid there were too many issues outside of major mechanical problems that is faced. I became a "VW" IV generation expert after warranty period and even had my own diagnostics cable and computer program to keep up with issues.

Sorry about that the Username threw me for a loop since Burley is always freaking playing with it. I figured it was him!

Great NEWS, time flys man so enjoy, my baby is now 6 months old!

Bassn with my VW I kept a extra ECU so there is no way they could have found the chip unless they searched my house and found the modified ECU. With the CORTEX programmer it is my understanding that it "flashes" the ECU memory to the setting you chose, but before this it saves factory settings to the tuner allowing you to restore factory settings.

Was on the way back from Tampa and stopped by a local tackle shop that had a Skeet Reese Revo priced for $160 (psss I didn't tell them it was mispriced)! Anyway, I ended up buying it to see if I finally have success (e.g. no bearing problems, no line guides falling out) with Abu's Revo series. Wish me luck, it will take over spinner bait duties usually assigned to my Curado D 100 or it may even displace my Zillion High Speed as my new frog reel. Keep your fingers crossed.

Imagine that TO and Vick, ON THE SAME TEAM!

100% false, it is illegal for a dealership to void your warranty based solely on the fact that you have installed an aftermarket product. But always remove the tuning before going to a dealer for service. The reason to remove the program is no to try and hide the fact you had it but because when they plug into the diagnostic port to read the vehicle their computer will not recognize the new parameters and will wipe the vehicle and reinstall the factory parameters and your superchips program will be lost and you will have to buy it again. http://www.semasan.com/main/main.aspx?id=60128 I don't care what your dealer may have told you it was wrong. Now for the original question. I would recommend the Superchips programmer that is my #1 seller. Before any quesitons about hp, torque or mileage can be answered I would need to know what kind of vehicle you are going to be putting it on. But in general on most gas motors in trucks you will see gains of 10-20 hp and 10-30 foot lbs. of torque. There are different settings you can choose from most of them will give some level of mileage increase but a number can't really be put on that because it is highly effected by driving style. That's what I thought. I spoke with a Superchips sales rep over the phone and he said, just make sure you flash your vehicle's ECU back before taking it in for servicing. I had a GIAC chip ECU on my VW Jetta which I recently sold and the dealer never had a clue since I put the factory ECU back when I serviced the car. Anyway, to answer your question Burley, I am leaning towards the Superchips Cortex Tuner. I have a 2006 Nissan Frontier and a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder that I just purchased today. My daily driver is the Frontier, but on long road trips I will most likely return the Frontier back to factory settings and use the tuner to flash my Pathfinder to the Mileage XS program for extra MPG or the Towing Program when I hauling my boat. The Superchips "guy" stated that it VIN locks to the vehicle while using a program but once you restore factory settings you can use it on other vehicles within the tuners parameters. Is he correct? What MPG can I expect to get versus factory settings and HP/Torque gains? Lastly, can you get me a deal? I joined a group buy through a Nissan web forum where I can purchase it direct for $315, compared to $429 direct from Superchips. Thanks in advance!

Anyone here using a Superchip or Hypertech tuning device for their vehicle(s)? I am thinking about getting a Superchip Cortex and wanted fellow resource members' opinions on HP and Torque gains, as well as fuel economy.

I have 2 Save Phace mask, one for my guest. They are must especially for long runs, cold weather, and most importantly RAIN. I got two American Flag themed ones on Ebay for $100. I have seen people using motorcycle helmets, but they seem bulky and stink up if you leave them in your boat lockers after getting wet, know that one from experience

Amount owed: $0 Boats I own: 2002 Ranger Intracoastal 185vs, 2005 Tracker 14" Jon Boat, 14" Indian River Canoe Paid cash for all. 8-)

Micro, "It would be replacing my Calcutta 200GTB as my swimbait reel on a Dobyn's swimbait rod/Snook Rod. " Think of a snook as a dock and inlet bound striper.

Thanks fellows, the Bait Monkey is mad though. I will be keeping my Calcutta 200GTB! I did not think the Pluton was that darn heavy, even after handling it, but I guess the specs say it weighs12.7 ounces! Just for the record though the Calcutta 200 GTB weighs in at 9.9 ounces, lighter than the Shimano Curado 300E (10.5 oz.) and the Abu Garcia Toro (10.3 oz.). Now time to take the GTB apart and supertune it ;D!

x2, seems like they would party like rock stars afterward!

Anyone here use it? Do you think its worth me Ebaying off a Shimano Calcutta 200 GTB and a Shimano Curado 100D + some $$, to get it? It would be replacing my Calcutta 200GTB as my swimbait reel on a Dobyn's swimbait rod/Snook Rod. Ever since I went to iCast and felt the Pluton's ( ;D) buttery smoothness and tank like craftsmanship Mr. Bait Monkey has been pestering me to get one, but......come on the Calcutta 200GTB isn't all the bad..........is it ?

Super Braid was my favorite until it was discountinued! So I switched to Samurai braid, good....I mean great braid. I want to try McCoy's new braid though. Powerpro is OK in my book, but their are better choices than Sonic, Suffix is another that comes to mind, but I've had problems with fading, not like it matters though.

My list of top mass production boats. 1. Bass Cat/Champion 2. Ranger/Trinton (I own a Ranger) 3. Skeeter 4. Legend 5. Nitro/Tracker Some models of some manufactures are better than others. I really love Bass Cats though, they are awesome boats and Champion is the ultimate in luxury!

I learned my lesson already once with a GPS > So now the only thing I leave in my truck is "The Club" on the steering wheel when at the boat ramp. I also make sure nothing is visible for scum buckets to see when about town. Now if someone breaks into my house without the dogs finding out, all I have to tell the officers is "I was in fear for my life and shot in the direction of the intruder." I carry a Sig Sauer 40 S&W with Federal 180 grain Federal Hydra Shox and shoot for the center of mass. My wife can also handle my Benelli M4 loaded with 2 3/4" Federal Tatical 00 buck shot. I wonder if that will stop Mr. Scum Bucket? ;D

I could not agree more! They are their own worst enemy! I bet Steve Irwin is rolling over in his grave knowing that the ship is a circus act. List of my favorite screw ups 1. Umm, getting stuck in an iceberg field 2. Missing the path through the iceberg field 3. Launching the chase boats and dragging one under 4. Lack of radio communication skills with launch boats 5. Almost causing disaster by ramming the ship into a Japanese whaling ship. 6. Losing site of ship they are chasing and not being able to use GPS effectively 7. Miscalculating fuel supply and not knowing if they are going to make it to port. 8. Screwing up the helicopters rotor/prop 9. The arrogant first mate that says he doesn't believe in technology 10. Failure to deploy prop foulers correctly I find myself due to the general incompetence of the crew.

As an FSU alum, it makes me sick, but I would have to agree he is a great QB, hopefully his accomplishments can be eclipsed by a FSU player sometime in the near future. Nevertheless, the best ever is a bit premature.
