MN Fisher

That's where I get mine - for both bass T-Rigs and crappie slip-bobber fishing.

Lake Menderchuck? (You'll have to ask @A-Jay where that is exactly)

I get this I suppose if I set my VPN to some other country I could watch it...but I got chores to do, so don't want to get dragged in.

Yep - so I'll just watch BassTrack - I refuse to give any money to Fox for any reason.

*sighs*

Add to the fact that most people are running Lithium batteries for their TM...and Lithium batteries don't discharge at a rate that'll energize the coil to start a boat motor.

For a starting battery? Ya, that's a head scratcher. Lithiums routinely offer 7-8 years - Dakota offers 11 years and AMPS now offers 12 years.

I didn't say it was 'good' for pitching...just that it could be done if you needed to.

Well, to be fair - of my 7 friends, 3 are members here and the other four are relatives (wife, sister, sister's husband, wife's brother) Music groups, writing info and fishing are the only pages I follow. 5 years ago I deleted my entire account - the one I have now is under a different e-mail addy.

If you can't find it anyplace else - E-Bay for a used/broken reel...just be sure the part you want is still intact... There are sellers who sell broken reels for 'parts'

Look no further than the Dobyns Fury 795SB - $140 They say it's a Fast action, but Dobyns is notorious for being softer - so call it a Mod-Fast. Yes, it could be used for flipping/pitching as well.

X3 on the Celilo - I got the 7'6" UL for my crappie fishing, and it's really a nice rod for the price.

Lucky dog - medical bills ate up the wife's and my 401Ks...all we got is SS.

I'm in agreement here After fending off a couple fraudsters on Craigslist - I posted my canoe on FB Marketplace...sold it in a week for cash in hand. I also found the Alumacraft I'm currently rebuilding on FB Marketplace. It's also really the only place to keep up with a few of the groups I like - tour dates, upcoming albums, etc - as they're not known much/popular in the States, so the normal magazines and websites don't carry anything on them.

You mean people actually use the bag that comes with a lawn mower? I just toss it in the corner of the garage to rot away.

And my SS payments only went up 5% And they wonder why retirees end up needing assistance. I was hoping to upgrade a couple casting rods and a couple spinning reels this coming fall...but between utility, gas and food going up faster than my 'income'...oh well...maybe what I got is good enough.

Two of mine made the cut fairly easily - well, we know where Crews sits (polishes his nails on his shirt). Zaldain's about middle of the pack - hope he picks things up tomorrow. Seth and Mark kind of fell down today, and Paul wasn't really in it from the start.

Ya - Pflueger reels went up $10 to $20. It's getting so a guy can't afford to upgrade anymore.

Ya, I've got mine set as high as it can get.

Ya - the Llamas were not kind today.

Seth dropped today - 3 for just over 3# total - yesterday he had 5 for 15#. My percentage dropped to 72

Ya - Blue generation drill, light, 5-1/2 circular saw - and the new lithium batteries work in all of them...got all three in a package deal back in '07.

And here I was thinking of getting Nascis to upgrade from my Avocet RZTs. Nope - the Avocets come with a bearing under the line roller...looks like I'll be keeping them...and they only cost me $25 each on clearance.

Well you are...but not about this. And Hudson is almost Minnesota...still counts...doesn't it?

Nope - return to winter is in store for this weekend here.
