Jigs, T-Rigs - any bottom contact I use FC (Patriarch 7.1:1 on Fury 704C) Braid is for my moving baits - spinners, chatters, etc (Patriarch 7.9:1 on Aird-X MH/F) Ya, two different combos.

That was my solution - went from TM powered canoe to a 14' Tin-boat that I'm modifying this winter.

So lots of booze involved...sounds fun.

Firefox does encrypt them now - to export unencrypted takes an add-on.

I still prefer Tarja - especially her duet with Sharon. Another one I really like is Charlotte from Delain...her solo album since their breakup is pretty good too.

The Pres-XT SE sale? Seems to happen every year about this time at BPS...got one last year.

Looking at the right item? This is what I see.

I'll take the options I have with Firefox and put up with the reduced performance. There are add-ons in my Firefox that I use regularly that I haven't seen available (or close to them) for Chrome...yes, I have Chrome installed too - rarely use it.

I picked up a 30 last year when they had the same discount. Excellent reel for the price, it's been rock-solid. Might have to free up some funds to get another this year.

Firefox is able to import bookmarks and saved log-in info (user-ids/passwords) from a number of other browsers. One thing I love right now - Mozilla account...my Firefox syncs bookmarks/log-ins across my desktop, netbook, tablet and phone so I don't have to manually input new/changed items in other devices when I add/change on one.

Are the other rods Aird-X? I know I don't get the distance on my Aird 701MHF that I do on my Fury 704C despite them having very similar line/lure stats and using very similar reels. One thing is that the Aird is a bit stiffer than the Fury, so doesn't load up quite as well...that will affect casting distance.

Black Friday, used market from reputable dealers - my two Patriarchs were bought used for under $100 each - new Furys from the same place on sale pre Black Friday for under $90 each. It's easy to get good combos for under $200 if you're patient and look around.

Well, at least you paid about what it's worth. I know there's people who love their Black Max reels, but after playing with one, I decided to pass despite the price...ya, I'm a budget angler, so always looking to decent stuff at a good price.

Wife gave up on Safari on her I-Pad - went to Firefox.

You can find good rods from those at decent prices. My current light crank rod is an Okuma Reflections - about $75 retail. Dobyns Furys are my other favorite 'budget' rod, and a sale every year at one place (that I can't name) that usually comes up before Black Friday lets me get them for under $90. I agree with Tom - skip the Black Max...find something better in your budget.

Smaller jerks - President XT-30 on a Fury 703SF with InvizX 8# Most jerks - President XT on a Fury 703C with Advance Mono 10#

So my two Patriarchs that I paid less than $100 each are also not classified at their MSRP of $200? Color me confused...

Ummm...the Stradic IS a $200+ reel

I have an Aird-X MH/F and a Fury 704C - the Fury is my jig rod, the Aird-X is my moving baits rod. The Fury is more sensitive than the Aird-X, much better suited for lures that you need to feel. The SLX is in the Fury class based on what I've read here...so I agree with @newapti5 - get the SLX combo for jigs, use the Aird-X for topwaters/jerks

Boston actually - but ya...all the way to the east coast.

Easier than cleaning a baitcaster. I had a vid of cleaning my old Pflueger 640...but somehow I've lost it. But here's a vid of a guy doing a full tear-down clean of a Pflueger President. Most reels are pretty similar...it helps to have the breakout diagram of your specific reel, which should have been included when you bought it.

This is another one that keeps me here - considering the probability of a wide variety of both followed by members...let's just keep it out of here totally so we don't butt heads.

Agreed - I'd cut that in half (at least) as a co-angler Keep: Denali spinning rig Denali casting rig Both Lews casting rigs Between those four you can handle just about everything you need to.
