You'll shatter your rod doing this if you dead lift the fish. Dragging it up the back so that the weight of the fish it mostly supported by the bank is less harmful to the rod but not fun for the fish. Better to get down to the ground and reach for the fish to lip land.

Gorgeous. Let us know how that works out. You going to use braid or flouro?

He knows how to operate just fine. Maybe it is more like not knowing your truck has 4wd until one day you discover it and have an ah ha moment.

Yep. Both have the same handle too but look how small the the new one looks compared to the handle. That's how huge the old one is. Pretty sure this new HD has strong brakes. I don't see it being compared to the steez hlc. People that have them say they have to run the brake dial lower than you do with a normal zillion. That's definitely not how the steez hlc is described.

So they did change the brake to allow then to be locked on or off. If you don't chose a reel based on a preferred braking system then what do you look at when picking out a reel?

It's like buying a vehicle and not knowing the number or cylinders or what wheels are driven. I don't expect anyone to read instructions unless they genuinely can't figure it out how how to work the reel but you should know if your reel is centrifugal, magnetic or dual brake. You should know this before you bought it. Of all the information on the reel the braking system is most important. I just looked up this reel. It has the abu swing arm brake. These are always on and free to swing. You can't lock them on or off unless they changed that?

The old one is big like a tatula 150 size.

That is exactly my problem. I'm twitching l, flinching wreck trying to stand up in my kayak. The kayak is fine. I just can't keep my balance on it.

Polish it. It's not like it's painted.

Oops wrong board

I want some sort of stable floating pond boat that can glide over to slop so I can punch mats all day. It needs to be transportable in a pickup 5 1/2 full-size short bed. I was eyeing the pond prowler plastic pontoons but found this locally. It's a "molly boat". It's rated for 700 lbs of capacity vs the 512 of the pond prowler. It is 70 inches wide and too wide to fit in my bed. I have the idea to cut it in half length ways and install larger bar stock over the cuts to make a bolt on coupling. Some sort of folding plywood deck and is maybe U bolted to the cross bars. A single tall pedestal seat or back or front bar I can lean onto for standing support in place of a seat. Wall mount type rod holders mounted to the pontoons for rod holders. The idea is to transport it to a pond then assemble. This seem spound? Is the fact that it has 200lbs more capacity than the pond prowler and indication as to how stable it will be?

How viable is this? I have a kayak as my small body of water craft but want something I can stand up in and fish out of without having to get the bass boat involved. The kayak I have is supposed to be easy to stand up in and one of the most stable but standing up is not for me. I can stand but can't cast or hookset without falling off and I basically have to fall down into the seat to sit back down. Stand up fishing is not happening. I see the plastic pond prowlers are much wider but shorter than my kayak and the floor I would stand on is a low slung and positioned between two pontoons. This has me thinking it would be pretty stable and not prone to rocking side to side which is what has me falling out of the Kayak. It would be a matter of raising the seat and putting on a pedestal seat to lean back into on hooksets or some sort of diy support bar to lean into for stability. Is this something people do to these tubs? I see a raised casting deck as a mod but that looks too tall and prone to rocking for me to attempt.

New frame time. I know daiwa uses a huge screw with a huge slot but resist the urge to get out the 2 foot long flat blade that fits in there. Thumb pressure or a coin is enough.

Bassresource please stop putting those things on your knobs. I don't know why it is so prevalent here but it needs to end. This cannot continue.

They make a gold handle but black looks good too.

Same. I'm going to need some proof on this one. 65lbs braid with the right frog I can believe it. Maybe 50lbs too if it is a larger diameter braid and spooling counts as "into my backer".

Fluorocarbon is slightly closer to the refractive index of water than nylon which I assume translates into flouro being slightly harder to see in the water than mono. Probably.

Launching my boat to the lake 5 min away: Back truck into trailer Miss hooking up and have to drag the trailer to the hitch Back out boat into street (my garage is drive through) Hope I don't take out the mail box again Drive to lake Wait in line to launch Wait some more Back boat into water Chock blocks wheels because no parking brake Spend 5 minutes trying to get the cold blooded sob to start The boat starts but doesn't want to come off Climb back into truck Back in further Set chock blocks again Back off boat Idle to courtesy dock and tie off Pull truck up ramp and park in designated area Walk back to boat Get angry looks for hogging courtesy dock Launching my kayak to the lake 5 min away: Put on the roof of my car or in bed of my truck if not already there Drive to lake Cut in front of the line of boats and dump kayak off near the ramp Put all my stuff in it Park Shove it into the water Refuse to elaborate Leave

One weird trick to save $100 off MSRP on a 22 Bantam MGL US retailers don't want you to know.

A blue tatula 200? But yes tatula 200 is the one out of the two to get if throwing 1oz and over. They are good for big baits especially glide baits that casts very poorly. The freer casting 150 spool isn't going to be a benefit casting here. 150 for heavier but compact good casting baits with braid and the 200 for less then stellar casting big baits and stiff plastic line. The 150 is what I frog with and my 200 is what I throw 2oz baits on big game line.

People really just pay full MSRP at tacklewarehouse for reels like this is normal?

Better to move to the fish and untangle them from the veg then try to pull that mess to you let alone brutally winch it in with the reel. Also that reel has an aluminum main gear, magnesium body and carbon plastic side plate. Not a machine to be locking down the drag and putting under high winding stress. It's not going to hold up well to that kind of use.

The pool noodle is truly the anglers multi tool. I read earlier a member uses one to stuff his member into when urinating off the back of the boat. No point in flashing the lake residents and it prevents spillage ect.

No bass is pulling 10lbs of drag. Those green fish don't run. 8lbs of drag is more than enough. If your drag is slipping on a hookset with 8lbs of drag then good. You're going to break something doing that. The rod, the reel, the fish or yourself.
