Define 'numetal' All three I posted have been around at least 20 years - WT for almost 26.

Well, it was nice while it lasted...back to the deep freeze we go.

I don't know about those bands - but the ones I like are European and don't release on American or British labels...and that's basically what gets played here.

Same here - my frogging reel is a Fuego CT - 13# max drag...but with 50# test I set it to about 8#

Better get use to it man - seems they're all going that way eventually.

All well and good until that wake boat runs you over cause it couldn't see you.

Diluted Simple Green - spray on, wipe off ^ Does what those fancy label things do but at a much lower cost.

I was gonna tell you my skipping rig - but that second statement makes me say... 'Naaah' (ya, I skip with spinning gear.)

About the only issue I have is when my normal gal is off - the substitute's service is spotty. Mail occasionally gets delivered to the wrong house - two blocks from me is a house with the same number, just a different street...sometimes they get my mail, sometimes I get theirs...and it's always when Kathy isn't driving that day. From her - flawless service the past 25 years...I'm gonna be sad when she retires.

Heck - bend that rod at 90-degrees and even 20# braid would probably break the rod.

I don't like Chrome either - FireFox continues to support my Win-7 and I'm running 109.0 (the latest version) without an issue.

Dude, I'm still running 7-Pro on both my machines. Neither supports 10 or 11, and only the desktop supports 8...but having tried 8, I immediately went back to 7 - hated 8. First home computer was a Commodore-64, first IBM clone I had ran DOS 2.1

Uni-Uni for me is just for backing to mainline. Pre-rigging before a trip - it's the FG Re-tying a leader on the water - Alberto I don't have an issue with the Alberto - seems to hold good on 832 or Smackdown to InvizX or Siege.

Ooo - ooo Can I have a Trek upgrade - Warp between lakes, food synthesizer for what ever snack I want, full sensor suite that makes FFS look like it's not even trying? BTW: Decided on a name for the F-9 - gonna split this between the words and put one word either side of the motor on the transom - combines my two loves.

Man, I'd be happy if I had side-scan and spot-lock.

Some of us are retired and trying to make ends meet on nothing but Social Security. Wife and I DID have 401ks, Roth IRAs and I had an ESOP - all that went away due to medical bills.

1 Ultegra 1000 1 Miravel 2500 Both picked up this buying season. Bench testing was great - both are smooth and light with good drags. It'll be May before bass season opens here and I get to field test them.

Nope - same as my 1973 25hp...50:1 - 1pt oil to 6gallons gas (1pt to 5 gallons would be alright to use) All Evinrude 2 strokes made after 1964 use the 50:1 ratio.

One of the other places I took inspiration from for the F-9 rebuild.

That's over twice what I paid for my house when I bought it.

Similar here Been smoking since 1970 (started young) Last full physical - EKG was normal...for a 45 year old (I'm 63) and my lung capacity is still around 98%, cholesterol hovers around 185 total, BP registered at 105/68, pulse was 73 My Doc just looked at me in disgust. Some people are genetically immune to bad effects of certain things...I seem to be one of them.

^ Needs to drink something other than beer.

Already a thread on it

Penn TRQS. Out of stock most places - but TD listed them at $500 for the TRQS-5 Gold, $700 for the TRQS-9 Black.

Welcome to the madhouse. I'd check https://www.tinboats.net/ for ideas, place to ask questions, etc. The forum is specifically dedicated to aluminum boat rebuilds and modifications...it's where I went for help on my project last year. Some of the pics I posted have been removed (space considerations) but from Page 6 on the pics are there...and there's short vids I put up as well. Basically, it was turning the top pic into the bottom one. If you got any short questions, I can probably answer them here too.
