Rockhopper

I was going to, but after applying filters to see what $300+ reels they had, there wasnt any I was interested in. So I chose not to gamble.

Looking for a new USDM Met B left hand HG model at a discount. Anyone have a lead on a good sale, etc? (not looking for JDM this time)

You can do as you please with your land. My personal opinion...shut all of that down immediately. Like yesterday immediately. That is honestly not that much land and you just described WAY too many people wanting to use it. Signs, cameras, authorities. I would also make sure to have a camera wherever these people park to access your land to get plate numbers. Just don't point it at another's private property. But you can photo anything you want from a public road (even private property).

For big sticks do not limit yourself to those marketed as bass rods. There are PLENTY of really really good two piece river salmon rods on the market that work extremely well for swimbait bass fishing. Look at the PNW companies specifically.

I've always loved these for lightweight hoodies. Always use them for my baseball teams. Really good quality. Can get them in short sleeve if desired. Pretty inexpensive too. https://a.co/d/1K5aZ4U

My PB brownie came on a 2.5" black/blue finesse stupid tube bouncing off a rocky shoreline in a reservoir near the dam in about 20ft of water. It can happen on a lot of lures.

I wouldn't put it past them. Downsized a bit might actually do pretty well against the smallies. I have a bunch of tiger musky near me. I think I will make up a size 5 and a size 6. I have a gut feeling this might work really well.

What depth are you planned on targeting with the weighted hook? I think I am really going to try this. I have so many of those in size 5. Most are chartreuse though.

I use those all the time to catch steelhead. Well, the original anyways.

I agree, horrible call. Just makes them look uneducated. How do I get this rocket style ammo? Wait...I guess that would be a torpedo, not a rocket.

Dobyns Beast is by far the best I have found. And I have been through a crazy amount of different brands/styles. Megabass sv-3 is also a great option if looking for a compact spinnerbait.

I've had a couple. There are much better out there.

care to share the deetz? or is this just a one off private sale?

No, it's a 70.

You definitely do not want to elk hunt with a 6.5 cm. 6.5 cm has a very similar bullet trajectory to a .300 win mag without any of the umph behind it.

Had a bad rap for burning barrels and eroding throats, and very little support in factory ammo. Didn't take long to figure out other 6.5 options were just as good and barrels lasted longer. The .264 is a fine round if you are the guy that shoots your rifle once a year. It is not a good round at all if you are a real shooter. Especially since the pills have very similar bc's to the .270 win.

The JDM 20 Met B has a 70 size spool. And the JDM Met B's have the smaller handles/knobs than the USDM versions.

Lions all the way

It is not even a question. 22 Bantam is superior to the DC. Though if you are paying full retail, I still firmly believe the curado mgl is the bang for the buck reel to get.

That about sums it up.

Is BA a good company? Make quality products?

I have about 30 emails that will prove this wrong. Any company that screws with a customers money and strings them along is indeed a horrible company. I will never support that kind of business practice. If you like them, then by all means continue to do business with them. I am not telling anyone what to do. They have 100% lost a customer in me. Horrible, shady company to do business with.
