If brand disloyalty means avoiding something you trusted in the past and won't even consider now, then I have a few: Live Target Kistler Quantum Bandit

I have a 30+ year old 33 Classic and a Daiwa Goldcast. They're both fantastic reels for what they are. Allows anyone unskilled with baitcasting gear to fish with a proper rod. The transition to a bait caster is easier as well.

No, don't format. Those recovery programs will sometimes even read a disk that can't be mounted as drive. I've read off a hard drive that spun but was totally dead to the OS.

I've used photorec to recover image files from corrupt SD cards. That, or something similar should do it. Be warned, even if you formatted before your most recent capture, any older files that weren't overwritten by new data may show up. It's a little creepy, but highlights the fact that formatting doesn't completely erase the old data and merely prepares the device for new data.

My next boat is likely to be a Caymas, though not a bass boat. They're quality.

Skeeter IS Yamaha

I can't completely discount reports of tearing, but in at least 20 years of using Owner cutting point hooks, I really haven't seen a problem or trend that would make me change what I use.

My Siamese taught me this.

An egg carton would work. I use a muffin pan. If you have to stop mid way, cover it with plastic wrap.

Jeez Tom @WRB stop talking about purple anything, lol. Seriously though, that's about the worst kept secret. I think you can get by with the oversimplification of color choices, but let's face it, that can be boring. Don't let it hinder you from trying a few different colors. Besides, it's good for business.

Any ML/F or ML/XF rod around 7' will work. The line choice of 8# Yo-Zuri is a hindrance. That's why it's getting more focus than the rod selection.

Smaller diameter line, whether braid or not will help greatly. I don't go any higher than line in the 6# for fluoro and not less than 10# for braid. As for the rod, you'll get a ton of suggestions. My new stock answer is get an extra-medium power and slow-fast taper. 😝

With temps in the high 50s next couple of days, I'm not bothering with the shoveling.

That wouldn't preclude it from other applications, making the reel more cost effective.

Are you asking about features or are you worried about what someone else does with their money?

Flioger made a few reels based off that platform as well.

It starts with inaccurate, then carving occurs. Usually carving involves using some parameter to enhance desired representations.

I'm thinking Gitzits have to be almost 50 years old now. I haven't fished a tube in at least 10 years. Still have a few packs of them.

Daiwa Procasters from that era had a flip top hood. That might help you get closer since back then BPS reels invariably rebranded reels from established makers.

That dataset presents all sorts of problems. Manipulation to suit an agenda not the least.

We're getting a half foot or so tomorrow night.

Pick the shallow ones. Just sayin'.

^^ exactly.
