LOL, Howard Beach and Ozone Park in the 70s, Uncle Giuseppe, (Those Pall Malls came from the Carolinas sans NYC tax stickers)...

If you take it to the USS San Jacinto in Norfolk, and ask for PSC, I'll pay for the mounting if you send me a picture of his face...

I might have some 2000 sized spools laying around from the original Stradic, Solstace, and a third silly name that escapes me at the moment, not sure if they would be compatible.

Use to use them as a tennis racquet stringing tool, not great fishing pliers IMNSHO

Check out the Rapala shadow JBs, that will get you started...

I've got a few of the older version (full cork grips) in BC and spinning, they are ok middle of the road rods.

So if I crash my car into a brick wall soon after buying it, the car company should give me a new one or a reduced price on another because "customer service" or "they care about me"?

"Throw in a buck Mr. Pink"...

I don't want to brag or anything, wait, yes I do... Been off the bike for over 2 years, and just getting back, so monitoring for recovery after a hard ride Sunday Saturday, looks like I'll be riding tomorrow, It's all about the jeans, I like Wranglers...

Nope, When a rod snaps into 3 or more pieces, it failed due to exceeding it's designed tensile strength, makes a great sound too, We get blanks to test, and we purposely torture them to failure, or try to, some of the South Korean ones are being manufactured where they make Iron Man's suit I think...

I think you are over thinking this, have him pick out the ones he wants and charge him what you actually paid for them minus $5 for the lot.

Nice! Using a deep diver as a planer is a thing.

Really liking the Crush 50, but not the stock hooks, a little beefy for me.

Varies by reel type, size, how, with what, and for what I'm fishing, but usually I like a longer handle and a larger knob most of the time.

Great life lesson opportunity. The stock hooks on 80+% of lures are more than adequate and fishable out of the box, and with a little sharpening, all but the worst offenders can be made so. This doesn't just apply just to children, but also to adult LMB guys. "After loosing fish because of [fill in any equipment here]" is just an excuse, and they are all like the 7th planet from the Sun, so No. So much easier in the old days, no YT videos, and a quick smack in the back of the head and a stern "No you moron, just fish the d**n thing" and back to your Rheingold Extra Dry and Pall Mall red...

Charlie Brown.

Assuming nothing broke, either the star drag clicker thing fell off, or the spool and/or the tension knob aren't seated properly, or some or all of the above.

Always, no. Most of the time, yes.

Babble AND Rosetta Stone.

I think you are 5 cents to high on each...

Can I borrow money and crash on your couch?...

Oh yeah, after I come in from a 3 or 4 hour bike ride this time of year, it's a barely tepid shower followed by an all cold rinse.

Yup, you think fishing wood eats jigs, try a stack of shopping carts, gotta love urban angling...

I was having an interesting conversation with someone about why it's so easy to empty folks bank accounts. Reminds me of when a Mercedes would pull up to the Tennis shop, and 5 guys step out and would buy all the Fila and Ellese warm ups we had in their size, and they would pay with bills $20 and smaller...
