Magforce Z problems
Got the same problem here....my solution? Bigger baits... I dedicated the reel to a jig rod,pitching baits....So far i love it.With an upgraded drag that came with it i decided it was best for slop and all that nasty mess. Anything 3/8oz or under i got problems....the spool spins a little faster than i can control it. Ain't necessary a bad thing.guess i need a little practice and patience as well. Planning on upgrading the bearings sometimes.

classic scam
That's the whole purpose,to confuse you enough for you to might actually send them $270 to open an account that's supposedly has $1.5 million in it. People fall for this crap. Normally i delete it for the most part,this time i decided to read this one and post how these scams try to get you.It doesn't always ask for thousands of dollars like some other ones.But if you add up 270 for every person who might fall for this,you talking some serious cash.

Mechanic help please.
Brakes should not cost you more than $150 serviced....or $50 to do it yourself.I just recently did my girl's for just under $50. Wipers...$5-$20 per, depending on what brand and kind....do it yourself...they are easy!I have to change ours every year after winter.Ice damages rubber easily.so i opt out for the cheaper brand. 60K miles service....sounds like a common tune up...shouldn't run you more than $100-$200 depending on what's to be done. Sounds like the place is trying to rob you guys since the most target easy people to screw over are women since many don't know the pricing of the parts and labor.

Okuma C3 Spinning Rod
Titanium Guide Frames.....Titanium is some pretty tough stuff! I used to work with it and it ain't easy to cut or bend. Unless you are putting some extreme abuse on them to the point of trying to break it on purpose. I like my casting rod.I got a shimano curado E7 on it and it's pretty nicely balanced.

Need some help naming my kid!!!!
Do not name all your kid with the same first letter... When my mom got mad at one of us she'd be calling all of our names out of sheer frustration....It was funny to us...till we'd get our butt handed to us. We all have "M" for our first names.... ;D

E-bay gurus
I always ask as well....Most sellers are willing to give me their reserve price.If not that's fine...I'll bid and if it's too low,he loses out of the sale and his ebay money for putting the auction up in the first place...makes no difference to me. Personally i think reserves are stupid,put a starting price up there and if it's too high people will just pass it by. There's no reason why you "have" to put a low price on a listing if you don't want to lose money on it.

LOL!!!!!
B I N G O Which makes the AIG bonus contract bogus now...contract or not....nobody should be getting bonuses from a company on or was on the brink of bankrupt. I wish we never gave them the bail out,and i wish every single one of them were on the streets trying to figure out how they are gonna pay the next bill.....just like i am right now. It's only understandable why most American taxpayers are ticked off right now.Didn't they pull something similar last time? It just goes to show they know they gonna get away with it,and nothing nobody can do. It's time they start earning their bonuses.

How to Roll Cast a baitcaster or Spin?
It really depends... I start out at 3 o'clock,saying the target is at 12, My rod usually stays at 3 o'clock if target is right in front.If it's off to the side my rod will be off at 1 or 2.Works for me.

How to Roll Cast a baitcaster or Spin?
Mine hangs about 6-12" from tip. Reason why it works on docks is because it has a quiet entrance and your lure is actually closer to the water. You can do the same with pitching or skipping....i just prefer to roll cast because it's pretty simple and easy for me. If i side arm my cast sometimes tend to go a little off to the side.I just hit my spots a little closer to target with a roll cast.

Shorter Anglers
I'm 5'3-5'4 and i fish with mostly 7' rods. Shore bound too.I stand on big rocks,boulders,picnic tables ect,ect, when using a twitching bait that requires a downward technique. You are only limited on what you can do if you choose to be limited...otherwise the options are open.

How to Roll Cast a baitcaster or Spin?
You are basically rolling your lure with your rod and wrist to where the lure swings.Basically an under cast.It's a complete swing around and release lure at it's lowest point in the swing. It's deadly on docks and tight places. 90% of my casts i do now are roll casts.Accuracy is what i depend on. Usually when i skip with a baitcaster by accident is off a roll cast.You get enough speed rollcasting to be able to.
