Greedy, greedy, Shimano hoarder. LOL Hootie

As I stated in my post, I am not looking for an answer, just opinions. Hootie

Found I already had that very stuff in my basement shop. Did it yesterday, and it came out perfect. Thanks guys for your help. This site is great. Hootie

No more comments? Hootie

LMG, you should work for SHIMANO. I couldn't think of anyone more enthusiastic to promote their products. Besides, could you imagine what it would be like to have access to all that great stuff for free? Have a great day guy. P.S. I got to fish Saturday with my new Chronarchs and I love em. Hootie

Is inches per turn really a big deal to you, and do you think it is really that critical. I would like as many opinions as I can get on this issue. Really appreciate it guys. Hootie

Thank you, thank you, just what I had in mind. Hootie

Is there anything to repair pitted cork on my rod handle. I know I can buy pit paste from any place that sells rod building supplies. What I am looking for is something I can pick up at my local big box hardware store. Hootie

All this Lews talk, I expected you to jump on your SHIMANO soap box. Now that I have my Chronarchs, Capital letters. Lol Hootie

Hey LMG, I bought the 2 Chronarchs. Am I in the club now? Lol Hootie

The yellow box cranks are silent, the black box cranks have rattles. Hootie

Thanks guys, now I know. Hootie

Hey LMG, I think I might be in trouble. I work at BPS in the fishing dept., part time. Monday I was working behind the counter, and everytime there was a lull in activity, I would take the Chronarch out of the display case and play around with it. Awesome reel. I dont need another reel. Furthermore, when I buy reels, I always buy two. Man thats $400.00, NO discount. So with all the banter about shimano (still small s), I feel this is partly your fault. So its up to you to talk me back to my senses. Lol Hootie

When lubricating a reel, do you oil the spool shaft ends or not? I have read yes, and no. Which is it? Hootie

LMG where ARE you? Hootie

And thats the name of the game! Hootie

I am in Cincinnati. Hotter than, {fill in the blank}. Nice looking water. Keep your son fishing. Best partner you will ever have. I heard someone say once, if you want a good fishing partner, build your own. That's what I did. I started taking my son fishing when he was 6 yrs. old. We still fish together most every weekend. By the way, he just turned 48 yrs. old. Hootie

Congrats on the catch, the weight loss, and a great son! But to answer your question, the fishing in my area has been good. At least where I fish. Hootie

I gotta say, this is getting crazy. Hootie

So, what was the problem? Just curious. Hootie

Lews reels are the best, but dont tell LMG, you will just get him all fired up. Lol Hootie

LMG has no lack of stamina when it comes to his shimanos, (small s). Hootie

Had the A rig for a whole 1/2 hr. Now it is owned by the bottom of the lake. Hootie
