Condolences and prayers for your girlfriend, her family and you.

@FrnkNsteen ⬆️ I’m with Tom, interested in the start up company.

@aceman387 That is one of my favorite songs from the first time I heard it on the radio and I’ll never forget the video where you could see the back and forth 🤔 one upping between Richie Blackmore and Jon Lord. I know that’s Ian Gillian singing and the bass player Roger Glover and although the drummers name is escaping me do you know if that’s the drummer from the original band? Also the guitar player sounds pretty d**n good too. I’m going to look for the performance/album on Spotify.

@NorthernBasser

I was in my local Walmart a few weeks ago and they are still selling for full price but after reading this thread I’m going to check and see if my local store is clearing them out. I will say I see quite a few people saying they change out the hooks on the hard baits but I’ve never had any issues with them being that they are Eagle Claw hooks. If nothing else I’ll fish them until they’re dulll and then swap them out, but to each their own.

@12poundbass Persistents paid off 👍🏻

Although I can’t find any other information regarding frame size other than the video I referenced I’m thinking the upgrades are going to be the same as the upgrades they performed on the SLX A. This is purely speculation on my part however.

Congratulations on your retirement 🍻

Thanks @tander although I have no idea what the heck a privacy connection is I’ll figure out how to disable it.

So I received the latest e-mail from bass resource and when I go to the article for the Buyers Guide I receive a message saying I’m not authorized to access the page☹️ Has anyone else experienced this or no why I’m not allowed to view the article? I would genuinely love to know, I’m hoping maybe an administrator such as @TnRiver46 for example can provide some insight even if it’s via a personal message. Thanks in advance.

@Blue Raider Bob Congratulations on a job well done and keep these updates coming.

As I’m sure many already know you can get the 6.3:1 gear ratio SLX MGL 70/71 through the various Japanese shops.

For what it’s worth according to JP DeRose the older version is a 100 size frame and the new version is a 70 size frame. I saw him do a review on You Tube.

@Mike L I know you’re a Bears fan so who signed who 🤔

Looking forward to this game 😃 I feel if San Francisco wins it will be because of overall talent but if Detroit wins 🫰🏻it will be because of Dan Campbell.

@NavyToad I also feel LaMar really shouldn’t have thrown into triple coverage regardless of whether or not it was pass interference.

Ravens beat themselves imho☹️

I love throwing crank baits in the spring in the retention ponds I fish. I stop once the weeds get to be too much but like @Bankc I use a lot of Ozark Trail cranks so if I lose them it doesn’t hurt as much 😉

@BigAngus752 .

My condolences to you, his family and friends 🙏

@Bazoo That’s awesome your son enjoyed it as much as you 😃 When I took my daughter and son 🤔forgot how many years ago but they were young, my son was more excited about the escalator than the fish tank….should have known then and there it wasn’t in them 🤣😂😆

@N Florida Mike Although I haven’t purchased any of their reels I’ll agree with Ken - @MN Fisher it’s a Chinese produced reel. I’m not knocking it as I have no idea how it’s made but I will say I have tried a few different Chinese reels including a KK and a Piscifun and I will say my Piscifun Carbon X reels have been treating me well for years. The only thing I will say is customer support for parts is sketchy at best and if you can find the original model they are cloning you may do ok finding parts as I recently did. Also as Ken said give us your thoughts.

My 2 best setups were a 7’-0” med/fast action rod (Wright &McGill Insight) with a Favorite Soleus bait cast reel with 10 lb big game and a Strike King finesse jig(swim) from WalMart. My second best bass producer was a 6’-6” - 7’-2” light powered spinning rod with a 500-1000 size reel with 4 lb test and a blue fox 1/16 oz inline spinner. I fish a few retention ponds and the bass respond best to smaller lures which match their size 😉
