Said the guy with the Italian bike with an English bottom bracket...

Ande Premium is very similar to Berkley BG, never had a problem with either for fresh and salt.

No.

vincit omnia veritas, oh the irony...

I'll trade ya for a inu thing...

Water World and American Flyers...

That looks like a really good clear water color, down monkey!... down!...

Ask a walleye guy, a striped bass guy, a LMB guy, and a guy who collects them (they mutter "screw tail") and you will get different answers. The older ones were a bit heavier and more solid, but I haven't seen too much difference in the catching, durability, yes. They make floating ones and suspending ones, they had the autograph versions, as well as the Excalibur version ones, (how does Marc Sosin get a lure?). They make or have made them in a ton of colors. I still rely on both older ones and newer ones to catch all sorts of things. The 16A, and 17A "chicken scratch" is a staple in the surf. I would suggest the 14A and 15A for fresh water. They also make a jointed version, but I find that while it catches fish, it's not any better than other similar things.

The silliness of the inu thing aside, it's not the same as those rigged worms of yesteryear, and a buck back then is probably more than the $6 they are charging today in inflation adjusted bitcoin. Just look at how much the sneakers that the kids on your lawn are wearing cost, heck my parents thought ProKeds were exorbitant at the time.

It's the fish AND you. "Slayed them in May" is like "had no trouble talking to women at the strip bar", now you have to walk up to some at the mall, or church, and be charming, leave the singles at home.

Which one is Hoss, and which one is Little Joe?... Not a fan.

Lol. And for those looking for some DI2, or a new DC reel... https://www.bicycleretailer.com/international/2021/10/22/shimano-warns-clearance-web-store-fake#.YX8Jep7MLIU

You must be fun at a bike fit...

Now I'm really confused.

That is Shimano CAC, it compensates for guides being off to one side, I'm waiting for the digital version...

Is the question how do I match the frog I have in front of me? Like size, color, shape?... [confused imogie thingy]

Calavera de azucar eve...

I'm a big fan of Ande Tournament. It's IGFA certified, so it will be at the low end of diameter for it's lb test rating. 10 lb is the lightest I've used, so I can't comment on 2 lb test, other than make sure your drag is set right.

How do you know most of us aren't Russian bots with a Daiwa pee pee tape?...

Are you sure, I've never been able to find a tool to remove the spindle, let alone try to reverse it.

The first one.

I've settled on large short shank light wire hooks for the 110, 1/0 or 2/0. I fish it with 20 lb BG and a Fury 704 on a tight drag. They stay pinned fine, and hardly loose any. The stock hooks are wrong to the umpteenth degree. The only other one I fish is the 75, and the stock hooks do ok there. All the others I have no use for.

Never mind...

Thoughts and prayers for one of the best natural anglers ever and his family and friends.

Our HS backed up to an estuary, and was 6 blocks from the beach, so yeah...
