Go north through W bridge. It is the first big creek to the west…atleast that’s what people called it when I used to fish up there.

Thanks Senile1! I think there is something to be said for running something until the wheels fall off of it!

Do you know anywhere to get replacement reel handles for these 200e7? A guy I was fishing with stepped on it and bent it. Other than that it’s pretty well ready to go.

I really appreciate all the input from everyone. Tons of great input!

I will definetly look into upgrading, I’ve been out of fishing so long, I didn’t know these aftermarket upgrades were out there! Nothing really wrong with them. I just really wanted to know what I might be missing out on performance wise…these were $100-$200 reels 10+ years ago. I’m just trying to find out if they are in the dark ages performance wise. If a modern $79 reel will outperform these then it’s time to move on!

I realize that a reel will hold line and cast regardless of age, I’m just wondering what has improved in the last 10+ years…am I going to see greatly improved casting distance, smoothness, drag? Compared to these older models. gen 1 revo premiers gen 1 revo sc (cabelas exclusive) gen 1 revo stx curado 200e7 citica 200s (circa 2005-2007)

I purchased most of the reels I own between 2008-2012. I was out of fishing from 2015 until just recently. I have not kept up with advancements in fishing gear in over 6 years. I own several first generation revos and older shimano citicas and curados. I am either going to start replacing these reels with newer models, or buy some replacement parts and get them rebuilt. Am I wasting time and money on these older reels? Have the newer reels advanced enough that these old ones aren’t worth messing with?

Im sorry to hear that man! but most importantly atleast you have a roof over your head, you will be able to adapt. I wish my house would have worked out better for you, the garage was 22'10" deep, used to back my skeeter back in the garage with 4" to spare, and my wifes car next to it plenty of space. What kind of boat do you have?

Man those first times sharing moments with your kids, I remember all mine like yesterday. First cold pizza slice isnt actually one of them, but trying to beat my mom to the cold pizza leftovers is one of them. What else on that list... First boat ride First airplane trip First water slide First beer w/ the old man First "J" w/ the old man First time driving Gotta cherish the good times

Its a toss up between Kevin VanDam, Brent Chapman, Steve Kennedy, and Ike

My original point is, the fish do not care what you are wearing when you catch them. Stylish clothing is just another thing you do not need to worry about as a beginning angler. I won the Angler of the Year title in the MSTA tournament circuit and I wore crocs every tournament, by wearing crocs does that make me not serious? My point is, that guys get to hung up on the little details that are not important when they are fishing tournaments. Kevin VanDam is not good because he has matching clothes ;D

I find that what I wear helps me catch more fish... I am totally kidding, it doesn't matter what you wear, just wear something that is comfortable you will be standing for 8 or 9 hours. I only have a couple of small sponsors, and they are on my tournament shirt, but my tournament shirt has never had anything to do with my fishing skills. Some of my best finishes were days that I was wearing a ratty old t shirt and jeans.

I am researching an antique lamp for my grandparents, they thought it was a tiffany, but I have found that it is a Bradley and Hubbard, I know that it is 75+ years old my grandparents have had it in their house since 1955 and my grandmas dad had it for probably 40 years before that. I know this is a fishing forum, but there has to be one bass fisherman who knows his or her antiques. Thank you.

That would go either way, if Chevy, Ford, or Dodge had the advantage they would be forced to restrict the engines performance too, its not just a Toyota thing
