I had an identical situation. Get along with the guy perfectly, but he's like fishing with a 2yo. God forbid you catch more fish than him, he'll destroy the entire outing with his pouting and silent treatment. I haven't fished with him in 3 years and I don't miss it one bit. Brian.

My Daughter Megan came down to my fishing room one day while I was cleaning a reel. She sat down at the bench I was sitting at and just watched. A short time went by and I finally ask her " what's on your mind Honey". I wasn't expecting the reply I got. She said, "Dad, (insert boyfriends name here) raped me". I've never felt like such a huge failure in my entire life. It will be 7 years next April and I don't believe I'll ever get past it. So to all you saying "mind your own business", shame on you. I won't speak of it anymore. Brian.

Yes, I've had issues with it being slow, not loading attachments since the maintenance was performed. Brian.

Yes, horrid slow for threads to load.

Both main and pinion as a set. Brian.

C= Compact Body 3000= Reel Size M= Spool Size HG= High Gear

I also prefer fast for banging them around rip rap and rock/gravel flats. Brian.

BRING HOME. I have a College Graduate that is an assistant manager, a really good one. He has said several times, "If I knew I could make this amount of money, doing this, I'd have never went to College". Brian.

I own a Tavern/Restaurant. Work 30+ hours a week and you will easily BRING HOME, $1250+ per week. No HSD, GED, just be sociable, work hard and follow directions. Work in the A/C in the summer, heat in the winter. I can't get people to work. Brian.

Save a couple bucks with the Lancer Pro 7'2" Heavy and a high speed aluminum framed reel of your choice. I've beat on 2 of these rods rigged with 65lb. Braid for 2+ years now, zero complaints. Brian.

My Buds throw all their used plastics in ziplock bags and give them to me at the end of the season. I sort them by colors, remelt, and shoot into new baits.....no elaztech please. I remove mine at the end of the day and return them to their packaging, as Team9nine stated. If torn up, into the remelt pile they go. Brian.

2- Shimano Chronarch G HG, with 65lb. Fins Pitch Black. One's for Frogs the other for Pitching. Brian.

Looking for a 2nd. generation Shimano Cumara, burgundy blank, 6'8" MH/Fast or Ext. Fast casting rod. PM if you have one you could part with. Thanks, Brian.

I like a light med/hvy fast. I fish a bunch of rip rap/rock. I prefer a fast for the deflection and it seems to lessen the likelihood of getting hung. Brian.

I throw 4" w/a 1/0 weighted hook. The weight is dependent on the current I'm fishing. Fast current, heavier weight, slow current, lighter weight. Brian.
