An Abu Record is one looong casting reel. My Record 40 is the best caster with 1/4 and up lures. I'm sure some of the newer reels are just fine, Lews and others, just never felt the need to try them.

The Cabela Prodigy round reel mag brakes work better than the Abu. JMO As far as the Abu's You'll never need to upgrade ? This place has stock, and better than stock bearings. https://www.bocabearings.com/parts/Abu-Garcia

yeah those original Mann's jelly worms have done well for me, when you can find them. My Record has a Binsky blade bait on it most of the time. Can really zing that thing a mile....well, almost ?

This is true. I do not claim one is better than the other, it's just what you are used to, or started out on.

I have a 6" Mann's jelly worm on one of my Cabela's Prodigy most of the time. no trouble casting that. Mag control. The Record 40 is pretty good as well

I have mostly round baitcasters. Abu C-5, C-4 Mag(2). Cabela's round Prodigy(5), Abu Record 40 A few low profiles. I prefer the round ones, JMO

Oh Oh Oh, I know the answer Mr. Kotter. That's why they call it a TWO MAN BOAT, takes two to lift it ?

going to be mid 90's for you today and tomorrow. if you're fishing in a pond/lake, maybe you can get your boat under the cover of trees? then cast parallel with the shore. fish will be looking for a cool spot too. and I don't mean Elvis cool either ?

good on a scrounger jig

You can modify they by taking a few strands of spinner bait type skirts, slide them threw a needle (just slip them through, no need to tie) then run the needle threw the body of your bait. Half on each side. Anywhere from 3-5 should do. I hope I'm explaining this well. This will give your bait a little extra attraction.

Dick's in Ct. has really gone downhill in the fishing dept. Used to have a good variety of stuff, not any more. But they do have a lot of clothing and golf stuff......and not a lot of customers

try this. reel it fast enough to wiggle, slow enough to stay on top.

just don't mount it sideways ?

Weeds + Bees = doobies! ?

yellow jackets I'm guessing? this time of the year they are pretty common. be extra careful with your pets. dogs will bite them, natural instinct. their throats can swell up dangerously. warn your kids too. they can nest in ground, in swing sets, just about anywhere. Might be a good idea to keep Benadryl handy for your pets

I use this method also, just leave an open slot for your favorite CD. ?

Everstart are good batteries. Made by Exide

your opinion matters......to you ?

and then there's this sadly, that's not me in the video, and this is not my pontoon ?

I have something similar, I use a 70lb. Minnkota. Perfect for my 3 dogs and myself

just like people, big mouths usually can't fight ?

Could very well be just a bad connection at the battery. pull off the terminal, and check for corrosion. resistance is heat. I've seen the same on my TM to battery connection. remove, clean, reattached, go fishin' ?

just pack, a small bottle of Jack
