MN Fisher

Uh - don't have a tree. We have a Yule Log that we decorate from Nov 1 to Dec 20th, then burn it in the fireplace on Winter Solstice. This IS tradition.

I think I saw that Deak was going to set up another thread to 'report our loot'.

Old eyes - I missed it.

It wasn't specified anywhere that this was a spinning reel...so I assumed BC.

Okuma Stratus VI - 7' MH/MF. DSG 'exclusive', normally $79.99, currently discounted to $49.99. I have the spinning version and it's my spinning-crank rod. https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/okuma-stratus-vi-casting-rod-19okuustrts7mhcstrod/19okuustrts7mhcstrod

Bearings get oil, gears get grease.

I'm tempted - even at the lower discount...it'd be $90...and I got enough wiggle room. Someone convince me the Tat-CT is worth getting beside my 2-Fuegos and a Patriarch...

The only two Diawa's they have on the sale page are the CG-80 and Tatula CT (Darn it , swhit beat me to it)

TW already has the dates and discounts published on their site for their '25 Days of Christmas' sale. The starting date for the 'Diawa Reels' discount is part of that published info.

Not too many years ago, I thought a tackle bag that held 6-3600 boxes would be MORE than enough. Now I got 4-3700, 7-3701, and 11-3607 boxes divided up among 4 bags...and I'm in a bloody canoe.

And occasionally when I see your handle, Kent...I think 'Mad Max wanna-be'.

MN - for Minnesota Fisher - cause that's what I do - I fish.

If this is part of the TW 25 Days of Christmas - it means the item doesn't go on sale until the 31st. If you order before then, you pay full price.

You got it - every day another item is added until Day 25 when everything is on sale. Danger - some things will sell out quickly during their time...so you might be waiting weeks or months for the item that sold out before you got your order placed.

Mine was sent out this morning - anticipated reception date was 12/21

I'm going hi-vis braid to leader for my Neds - my 1000 size reel holds about 100 yds of 10# braid with backing. Since I don't toss it far away, I don't think I'll be spooled.

And depending on the tournament - only certain brands/models of a bump-board. Mine works just fine, but it's not 'approved' by many tour organizers...but I don't do tournaments anyway.

When the TW order arrives and the card says... "Happy Yule, xxxx MN Fisher" I think that'll be a clue.

If the TW order arrives before the other one - it won't be much of a surprise for the second part...I included a card in the TW order with my handle.

Normally - they'd ship the rest of the order, then ship any backordered items when all of them were in stock. Ya - they don't send backorders out as they come in - they wait till everything is in.

Na - didn't submit until I woke up Friday morn at 6 - got the acceptance around 6:30am. Shipping confirmation came in Saturday about 9:45am.

I wonder how they're picking - my TW BF order is already here.

Ya - uncheck 'Billing address same as shipping address' - your info in billing, theirs in shipping.

I just sent it direct from TW to them...with a 'gift card' and my handle.

The Tatula CT has the T-Wing system, the Fuego CT has a standard aperture. Frame, spool, main-gears are all the same.
