Ya - Fleet Farm doesn't have a lot of fishing stuff on sale tomorrow...and most of what it does have is for 'hard water'.

ALF just started it's Dobyns sale - 20% off one, 25% off if you buy 2 or more...ends Monday.

Not surprised - Fleet Farm only has stores in MN, ND, SD, IA and WI Runnings basically the same area, but has branched out to CT, NH, NY and west to MT Both those started in MN Farm and Fleet started in WI and has stores in WI, IL, IA and MI.

Fleet Farm? Oh ya - rods and reels from their 'home brand' to mid-tier (St Croix Victory, Daiwa Tatula, Shimano Curado, etc) aisles and aisles of lures and plastics, line galore, good selection of electronics and TMs and all the accessories you could want from tackle bags and boxes to scales, nets..whatever. They've even got a few aisles dedicated to fly-fishing. This isn't the Carver store - but indicative of FF's fishing dept.

Runnings started in Marshall, MN and yes, pretty much the same type of setup as a Farm & Fleet or a Fleet Farm. I haven't been in one as the closest ones to me are in Monticello (34mi) or Hutchinson (36mi) where-as my 'local' Fleet Farm is only 15 miles away.

I would much rather Daiwa offer the standard depth spool spinning reels USDM - the D models require way too much line to fill IMO. They have the standard depth reels JDM, why not offer them here?

Latest delivery - this year is going to be light...basically filling in things here and there.

A more affordable option to the ' Dr. C Fishing Line Dr.' is the 'Beadalon Spool Tamer'. No brass grommet, but identical in all other respects. I've been using them for years and have had no issues with them. Dr C. = $2.60 each Beadalon = $0.75 each (25 for $18.50 on Amazon)

ALF - send an E-Mail to 'secret@americanlegacyfishing.com' asking about the Daiwa Secret sale - get a code for 25% off all Daiwa. Reel is the 2019 model, not the new 2023 model. Code reduces the base price to $119.99

Ya - that's the fun with TW's backorders...no idea if/when they'll get back in stock...and everything on an order that's backordered is held until everything is in stock.

If it's size 2, or 6 - Barlows has them in stock https://barlowstackle.com/owner-5635-sty-35-treble-hooks-sizes-6-2/

I love the add-ins my browser has

No joke

I'm in - this has been fun the past years.

Amazon currently has several models of the JDM Miravels on sale for $98-$106 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHDFVC53/?coliid=I3TYXH8E70FBQQ&colid=3M9MGOWZE9YW2&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1

While I do sync logons and passwords between the desktop/netbook/tablet and phone...I've got History sync turned off...ya, I can pick and choose what syncs.

John...this is on my desktop...

This is what I got at the top right now

Ya - at my age, life is too short to go searching like that. That Digitaka's prices are well below USDM prices is enough for me. Free shipping and no tax to boot...I'm a Digitaka fan-boy.

What hassle? I order from Digitaka and usually have it to me in 3-4 days.

The advertisers.

Ya - I took advantage of that. Add in the 25% 'rebate' gift card from a St Croix purchase I made this summer and I paid $80 for a Tat-100.

^ Ya - I just looked at the Miravel 2000 - specs say it hold 80m of GOU 1.0 ...which is 87yds of 4# test Go with the 2500

I run 8# InvizX on a Miravel 2500 - I think a 2000 size could handle 6# without issues....don't forget the KVD
