When there's deals like that, we all pretend we don't know each other at the checkout.

Take your drum and beat it!

My wife just got back from Wegmans. 7.19 for 18 XL brown eggs from EB. Full cooler of them.

Those are England's Best too. It's only a matter of time before it hits us. We go through around an 18 pack a week. Formers market eggs may be the way to go, but they're really expensive there already.

Of the baits I regularly carry. It's got to be close to 80%. Not all the baits all the time, but it averages out over the season. I'm pretty basic.

We have eggs.

Four score and 11 years ago…

People will come up with all sorts of excuses for failing.

I use mine whenever I'm on someone else's boat.

I have these two aluminum racks that slip under the rear hatches that hold four rods perpendicular to the boat centerline. They propbably aren't available anymore, but you could fab something up.

Something was vastly improved within the past few updates in the speed and relevance of the search here. It is really good. I don't usually have to get into the search options either. And it isn't limited to just the forums either. I hate doing searches on Google since keywords end up influencing the ads I see. Last week I typed in "I don't have a cat" and lo and behold, no more robot litter box ads! OP, get up to the videos and search in there. There is plenty to eat up a couple evenings watching bass boat basics vids.

The only tournaments I fish anymore are team format, opens that are best 5 combined, and live weigh in.

I guess these are my OG reels? Oldest to newest: Zebco 33 Classic Quantum Iron IR3 Shimano Stradic 1000 F Daiwa TD-X HSDL Daiwa OG Zillion Shimano Stradic 2500 Ci4

The drag was slightly improved. And the drag star was some composite, plastic material. I had many of both. Paid far less than retail for them all, and they all worked great. Probably should have held on to them.

Hand surgery doesn't sound fun. I wish him a speedy recovery.

I can't comment on fishing stuff, but around ten years ago I changed my seating position, posture, and grip when playing to drums to accommodate and mitigate arthritic pain. It's mostly trial and error. A bonus is the new doors that open up when playing differently than you'd played for 40+ years. I can only imagine it could be the same for fishing. Man, if I could pitch left handed…

I already learned I'm better than the rest. No need anymore. 😂

I don't think comprehension is hard. Inference and nuance are lost arts though. Get off my lawn!

Like and describe!

Sounds like lobster fishing - FUN!

Nissan was the first to bring a CVT to market and was a failure. So is every one released after. EV tech makes them obsolete before they can be perfected. You're suggesting this would be cool tech for reels. I'm saying it's respectfully a terrible idea.

It's worth noting that snell knots were originally for hooks that had no eye to tie to. Hooks were hand made and at the end, they were just hammered flat, creating a tang that would hold a snell. There's no point now that we are out of the 19th century.

Yeah, see Nissen CVT for results, lol.

I used to snell hooks, but at some point stopped. Made no difference. The only hooks I'd consider snelling would be ones with the eye angled in. I only see these in my trout tackle.
