  1. So sad and awful.
  2. I think they all do a decent job of matching feature sets and price points to what the market desires. Sometimes, there's a singleton that doesn't add up.
  3. I'd be surprised that any of the rebranded Doyo/Banax/other had any design input other than specifying a bearing grade or main gear material. Maybe knob design, since those are somewhat unique.
  4. I'd rather be in the Xpress than the Bullet on Erie. That's why I had both boats when I was doing the TX thing. Choose your craft wisely.
  5. iphone spell check got me early in the morning
  6. Not too much from Diana lately turns my screws. A couple reels are sweet, but most are meh to me. Their heyday was the mid 2000s. Then again, o feel the same about most other companies.
  7. I've never considered resale when it comes to hobby purchases. Buy cheap and buy twice, maybe even three times. I've never owned a Lew's, though I'm sure they're nice. They don't turn my screws at all.
  8. I had a H18. It was pretty heavy, but still would wander in a strong head wind. Manageable with just an 80 lb troller.
  9. Best Birthday wishes from all of the JFrancho clan!!!
  10. One of the best drop shotters I know uses an improved cinch knot. Goes to show, you don't 100% have to use a Palomar.
  11. I've used that knot since the 80s, as a teen.
  12. It's gonna take me a minute to put a fitting post in here. Departing is very bittersweet.
  13. We had snow this weekend. Tomorrow it's going to be 70.
  14. Four score and 14 years and still getting weird flexes here. Why does anyone care how someone else catches fish? Why even judge them?
  15. The cartoon analogy might be the craziest stretch, but might actually be right. Never thought of it that way.
  16. I've al says been more interested in the action of a bait. I do think realism is part of the picture with bigger baits, like 5"+ swim baits.
  17. I like the theme of open mindedness in this thread. I've seen so many crazy things on the water, I can't ever really know exactly what the deal is.
  18. Bush league move. That won't serve her career well.
  19. He's #2 to Bezos. Buffet is #7. The top 8 are all worth over 100 billion.
  20. Warren Buffet money? I'd buy my entire home lake.
  21. Looks pretty versatile.
  22. That was a thing. It's a selling point up here lol.
