The Sportsman is right off I-81 under exit 105, they may know of some tournaments as well as Elliot's, as sam said, may be one of your best bets.

Have vengeance, had vendetta, and have veritas. Huge fan of Abu, for rods and reels. Rods are on the stiff side but once you get used to them they are awesome. Have only ventured away from abu on one rod and two reels

I would like to add another casting setup to my selection. Looking at a 7' MH setup, with either a vendetta or veritas 2.0 rod. The tougher decision is the reel, whether to go with Abu Garcia orra2 sx, or Quantum accursit. Does anyone have any experience with either reel? Playing with the displays in bass pro doesn't really do a reel justice.

This rod is going to get almost exclusively fluorocarbon. Thanks for the info though, Im confident I can tackle this now

The tip of my vengeance casting rod got damaged and needs replacing. I bought a tip replacement kit but the tip on the vengeance seems like it may be attached differently than just with glue. Has anyone replaced the tip on a vengeance? Do I just need to heat it up and slide it off or is it more involved?

what body of water?

what kind of line is tufline? ive never heard of it

If I were to bring in three or four items would the discounts add up or no?

Has anyone ever done the BPS trade in? Are there any limitations? Discrepancies?

Im really looking for a line that is manageable across many applications on a spinning reel. It is my only spinning setup. Visibility, manageability, and not overpowering the intended purpose are my main concerns.

For my spinning applications I feel like the visibility factor of fluorocarbon is beneficial. Im just not fond of tying leaders.

I had thought about 8-10lb Invizx. My hesitation with braid is the stretch properties and tying on leaders. I feel like a fluorocarbon would compliment the stiffer rod by offering some shock absorption.

I have a 7' MH Abu Garcia Vendetta spinning rod paired with a Shimano Slade 2000FA reel. Bought the setup for finesse fishing; shakey head, drop shot, weightless plastics, etc. Looking for a good fluorocarbon line to fill with because I don't like messing with leaders. What do y'all use or recommend?

I did find the usgs historical data for two along the river, one upstream from where I plan to fish, and one downstream. They seemed to be in the range for water temps you'd expect for the time of year.

there is a usgs guage nearby where I want to fish, but the usgs site doesn't show water temps
