If you have “excellent “ credit find a credit union (join) or your bank and find your best interest rate. BPS can’t make you finance through their bank but they insist because they get points (percentage (money kick back) on every deal they send to their financial partners, so they make money off your payment. Interest rates are high right now, and going up so find the lowest rate and make your own deal on length, down payment and interest rate. Go in with your financing set and you’ll be in a stronger bargaining position. You’ll be much happier!

Greetings! I’m in Martinsville, Henderson Ford area. You fish any club events, GRBY or such. Waiting on my new Old Town AP 120 to show up. Planning on a great deal of White River fishing and always looking for a fishing partner.

I’ll take ‘em. Where do I send the eggs? PM me if your really interested in selling one or two.

I’ve learned this knot as it is really simple, easy to learn to tie, small and strong. It goes through the guides easily and barely is felt.

TWH has Owner football heads from 1/16 and up.

My bass rigs are used, not abused. It’s been over twenty five years, until my recent BFS binge, since I’ve bought a new reel so what I do have has been taken care of. Although rod and reel covers have came into use the last couple years. I have fished exclusively for bass the last ten years so my crappie, stripper and catfish rigs are collecting dust. I now have three new BFS combos so pretty much set for the next twenty five. ?

The smaller the water the smaller my gear. I love throw’n 1/16, 1/8 oz baits, everything from ned to topwaters! Side note; Read this whole thread and love it. Amazing the methods , gear and presentations used several years ago still relevant today. Good Stuff.

Happy Belated Birthday @Columbia Craw

Please post up your findings on the rod. I have a SLX BFS reel and looking for a 6’6” to 7’ rod for it. Interested in your in hand opinion.

Yeah I’d throw that piece of junk in the trash! Matter of fact, send it to me and I’ll dispose of it so you don’t have to waste your time with it. ?

Which oil is the best to use?

Mine are near 30 years old so if new ones last longer I wouldn’t be around to use em!

I have never had much success with mono, let alone flouro on spinning gear. Started using this knot, super easy, super strong and super small braid to flouro (mono) knot. Works great with spinning gear and baitcaster. For me anyways ?

Meh, mine are paid for!

Reviving this old thread as I have 5 Curado Bantam CU-200 reels I have used since new in the early 90’s. However I now am in need of a spool for one as the brake housing has cracked and spit one of the brakes. I pulled the opposite side to make casting even, and it still works fine. I want to replace the whole spool assembly to get it back to new(ish) condition. So I’m on the lookout for a spool assembly if anyone has a spare parts reel willing to part with.

Wife has an Outback along with a Titanium Escape in the garage. Company supplied the Outback AND the gas so a no brainer!

2019 F150 Supercab 4x4 bought new before the “gouging“ hit the fan. 3.3L six with 6 speed tranny @ 21-26 mph. All the rods in a rod bag go in the bed and tackle box/gear in the Decked drawers.

Reels: Shimano Rods: G Loomis Kinda happened accidentally. Started with one, like the quality, feel and performance so bought another. Now I have six rigs with varying capabilities for different methods. Just now getting into BFS and the first three reels are Shimano SLX’s on three different JDM rods. I’m liking them so far. I like going with a proven system that works for me. P-Line and Power Pro lines fit that same idea too. Baits, anything that works but mostly Berkley, Zoom, Rapala and Z-Man.

Saw this video and thought about this thread. Pretty nice conversion.

But it does say something about the Honda motors, does it not.

As I sit here watching the snow reading the post above,,,,,about snow

My season pretty much ended yesterday too. Falling temps throughout the day which turned to snow overnight. Still a light snow falling and a much colder trend on the way. Not a great amount of fishing this year with even less success but in full anticipation of next Spring, when my new Kayak arrives. Probably spend the winter getting beat over the head by the bait monkey, because resistance is futile! Hoping for a few days of warm up to hit the river again.

I watch them all, well I have them on the tube so it’s more like background music, listening but not paying attention. Fishing playing quietly in the background is less obtrusive than the blather of the day, poorly conceived sit-coms and game shows. I’m usually on websites about fishing or watching utube videos of fishing. I grew up with Ray Scott, Roland Martin, Jimmy Huston, Hank Parker and Mr. Dance giving me new “tips and tricks” so having fishing on tv is an ordinary thing for me. Other than sports I don’t watch much tv. I don’t tweeter, faceplant , instantlygram or clicktok so the tube(s) is my entertainment when not in the garage, on the golf course or the river.

Was on the river today and got skunked. Pretty nice weather, warmish water but just low. Had two blow ups on a too water clacker but nothing else. Still fun!
