Never check a battery voltage while a charger is connected and powered up....what you're checking is how much the charger is sending to the battery.

Quite a number of reels can handle that weight range easily - it's the rod you'll have an issue finding.

Considering I didn't get out much last year, I didn't use much. No need for restocking here....which is good cause I got no money to do so.

If it ain't braid - it gets the KVD treatment.

I got one left going into tomorrow.

For me it's more about the affordability - $8 for 9 Rage Bugs or $5 for 15 Tiny Brush Hogs....no contest.

Two that I found effective are Mr. Twister Ned Ringer and Zoom Tiny Brush Hog.

I know exactly how you feel - truly...you only got 3 months on me after all. 👴

Just go with the Fuego CT - only thing the Tatula CT has over the Fuego is the T-Wing system....those extra two bearings are in the handle...just makes the paddles spin freer, doesn't affect the actual reel function.

It's been variable with Plano....some boxes have always had a dearth of dividers, others had a huge surplus. And of course they don't offer additional dividers for sale...which would make sense.

Only event I pay attention to is the Biathlon - probably because that's how I hunted rabbit after the snow came when I lived up in Bemidji.

The dropper-loop is designed to tighten up like that.

Little over a week ago we woke up to -21f....this Thursday they're predicting a high of +40....wacky weather all around.

And don't forget - 'We're all made of star-stuff".

Randy's channel is successful because a lot of people cheer for a contrarian...which Randy is in spades. Me...I try to ignore him.

Yesterday he was loading his boat to pre-fish the next tournament...he posted a short vid on FB....so I'd say he's good-to-go. And he's still on the roster for the 1st tourney of the season.

Some do....I don't. I looked at what they give you for it...and it's a trade-in for the rods they have in stock...you have to buy a new rod to get the 'money'. I can sell rods on FB-Marketplace or Next-Door for way more than what they give in trade-in value...so not worth the trip IMO.

Hasn't happened to me...long as you fully engage the locking mechanism, it's solid.

Cause you southern boys don't know the true meaning of 'Hard Water'

Not that I don't like it....just that the Fuego has better brakes.

I have both the President XT and Fuego CT - get the Fuego.

I'm a great believer in selective harvest as promoted by Al Lindner. So yes, I harvest bass in a certain size range for eating....I like them.

That's what I love about a smaller motor...I just lift the 25hp off the boat to a dolly and wheel it into the heated basement. Covered tub with drain on a valve so it gets water flow, exhaust fan in the window and I can run it in there and do what maintenance it needs.

It's a TW exclusive - so who knows

When I built Bass Trek, I purposely left the rear area open for storage of 'bulk' items. Starting battery, toss cushion and anchor all live back there. Since I don't have spot-lock, the anchor gets used when in deeper water than the stake-out pole can handle.
