Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
Last Digitaka order for this year (maybe) - this replaces the Avocet RZT-1000 on my Procyon L/F for Neds, DS, and other light finesse work. Ordered late Saturday, arrived today

Fishmas 2022
Pretty much from anywhere. I've even sent things direct to my 'victim' from Siebert...no stops here.

can you look at Blood?
Blood has never bothered me...one time I got an 'emergency' phone call from my dad. Mom had sliced a finger when prepping dinner...and he's useless when it comes to injuries like that - mom was a nurse, so she's not bothered. I drove the 1/2 hour from my place to theirs, cleaned her up, a couple steri-strips and some bandaging and it was all done...while dad hid upstairs so he didn't have to see.

Can't fool us...you actually went out there in shorts. That's why the cropping...don't wanna blind us with that lily-white skin.

Is Enough Enough?
Reason I'm probably gonna do Dutch and Whaletail more next year. Tired of dodging the tourney boats that are running faster than the speed limit.

Medium or light rod
Some will say medium - some will say medium-light. I go even lighter - a Procyon Light/Fast, 1/16-3/8 lure rating, 4#-10# line rating - I run 20# Smackdown with 6# Siege leader.

Gotta be 'lake effect' - I got about an inch...maybe a little more.

Suggestions on a new spinning combo with a $250 cap
I don't have one, but 'played' with one locally...went with the Okuma Reflexions for the same price-point and glad I did.

400 Spinning Reel With What Rod?
Yap - a 4000 size is more for light sea fishing than bass fishing. Personally, I have a 3000 size and I consider it too big for bass...though pike and musky are a possibility. Inshore is what I'd be looking at. Or if it's a new reel - take it in and see if you can trade down.

Are you brand loyal ?
I get 1: What I can afford 2: What works well. Spinning reels - Pflueger and Mitchell have been my mainstays, but now I'm branching out into Lews (for crappie rigs) and Shimano (bass rigs) Spinning rods - Dobyns and Okuma for the most part though Daiwa has been in there too. Casting Reels - Pflueger and Daiwa Casting Rods - Dobyns and Daiwa until this year - getting three St Croix for next year.

Electric Outboard Motors
The Torqeedo has been out for a few years now - all electric outboard https://www.torqeedo.com/us/en-us I'm still partially against electrics for a couple reasons. 1: Power generation to charge all these - we're pretty much at capacity now, what kind of power plants do you want to build to support all the electrics? 2: Transmission of power from plant to vehicle - the grid is also pretty much at capacity, adding all these electrics is going to put it under more pressure = more rolling brown/black outs.

I must be getting old... Engine question
Right...my Oops I'm so use to dropping quarts into the Silverado I misspoke....1 pint of 2 cycle oil in a 6 gallon tank

I must be getting old... Engine question
Heck, that's easy. My 2-stroke want's a 50:1 mix. 6 gallon portable tank, put in 1 pt oil, fill the rest with non-oxy gas...done.

I must be getting old... Engine question
1973 Evinrude 25hp electric start tiller. Solid, dependable, easy to maintain. It's an era match to the 1972 Alumacraft F-9 Lake Master it's mounted on. Note that a number of Mercury engine models are made by Tohatsu.
