^ Heck ya .... just be prepared for a little discomfort - not the scan itself....just the 24 hrs of no caffeine and the 6 hours of nothing but water before-hand. For someone who 'grazes' through the day and goes through 1/2 a pot of coffee a day - that's the killer for me. I just had my latest PET scan yesterday...then pigged out at Perkins afterward.

And guys were already on the ice on Black Lake - one of the smaller ones of the Minnetonka chain.

Does that mean it's akin to the 'short bus'? (runs and hides)

^ Not when they had Seaguar Gold Label in 8# and 10# in Haul for 36% off.....I don't think they're going out of business. Ya, I did a little searching. It's just the random great deals out there....nothing weird.

NEVER - EVER -EVER hook a Lithium battery to a charger not rated for it....not unless you want to buy a new battery.

You don't need Prime - it just gives you a little extra if you have it.

If I can't find an OEM part for my 73 E-start 25hp 'Rude local - I'll go to Boats.Net - never NOT found the part I needed....ya, it's a bit more expensive, but for OEM, I'll pay that extra

Welcome to the 'C-Club' (#sarcasmlives) Good docs, new treatments, and a positive attitude go a long way....everything else is just window-dressing. Good thoughts on the way - and you got this, man (I really should update my own post....been too long and a lot has happened.)

And so it begins - this is a picture of Excelsior Bay - SE corner of Lake Minnetonka....ice is forming.

^ Speak for yourself - winter has set in here with snow, plows and predicted highs not even reaching 20 this week.

It's all CloudFlare - go harass them as nothing can be done from BR's end.

Best fix - dump Chrome....go to FireFox. I've been using FireFox since 2009....every time I try something else, I dump that and go back to my FireFox.

Pole Barn.....

We're still missing the worst of it. Tonight into tomorrow they're predicting 2"-5" in our immediate area.

Here's a graphic that shows it as well.

As FFF said - it's all CloudFlare. I've had that same issue on other websites....nothing Glenn can do about it from this end.

Welcome to Bass Resource - proud supporters of the Bait Monkey.

I don't buy ball-heads often, but my last order was from Nako - tungsten ball heads at a decent price. Multiple hook sizes on 1/32oz to 3/8oz. Nako Ball Head Jigs

The Cx-80 series is pretty solid. The second letter designates the frame material CR is a Resin frame CC is a Carbon frame CA is an Aluminum frame Otherwise they're identical I have the CA-80 and it's my main flip/pitch/punch reel. I think the CR-80 will be a good general purpose reel.

That one looks fine to me....mine actually dried out, but I just put a bit of water into it, stirred it with my powered-paint stirrer...applied it to a rod and it worked just fine. So even dried out doesn't mean it's 'dead'.

Add to that fact that the mining of the materials needed and the manufacture of the batteries is highly impactful on the environment. The inefficiency of generation/transmission and charging of the batteries is wasteful. And the final disposition of dead batteries requires special handling as they are considered 'Hazardous Waste'. You end up creating more pollution than just using the gas/diesel units that have been the staple for decades.

It's HOW they got their YouTube channel(s) going that turned me completely off to them. When I got Googan baits in Mystery Box - they immediately went in the 'Circular File'.

Original bags or laminated bags from bait supply store....in boxes or bait-folders.

I didn't get out much, but my best catchers this year were: 1/16oz Shakey Head with Zoom Finesse Worm in Green Pumpkin Magic 1/8oz Shakey Head with Zoom Trick Worm in Green Pumpkin Drop Shot, 1/8oz teardrop weight, #1 EWG with Zoom Baby Brush Hog in Green Pumpkin 1/16oz Ned with Mr. Twister Ned Ringer in Green Pumpkin

I'm assuming casting reel here and wow - that's a really low IPT....power cranking? You're going to be primarily looking at round reels, not low-profile, and those more dedicated to salt water or catfish reels. They can be found, but they're not going to be cheap. Maybe the KastKing ReKon could do the trick - with 5.3:1 and 4.5:1 gear ratios available, it might be that 'slow'.
