My Buddy makes rod socks for me and cuts them to length for the specific rod model. My wife made cloth rod socks for me decades ago. Neoprene covers are for all reels.

Green pumpkin/blue pincers on a 1/4 Siebert tungsten shaky head on a Champion 733SF with braid to leader. Sweet.

When I look at the demographics of the membership here it just blows me away.

Happy birthday to me.

I fish them much the same as Glenn but will go to a weed guard when stumps are in play. It’s a staple in my region and I have a dedicated combo just for hulas.

If I want to really slow down I have a Curado 200B in 3.5 to 1 and a bunch of LEWS BB1 N’s in 4.7 to 1 ratios......so I got that goin’ for me?

I have a Hakai which I paid 142.00 for last year. It is light, really light. The start up of the Dream spool is extremely fast. Once I adjusted the cast control the ability to throw 3/16-1/4 was pretty darn good. I don’t have enough time on the reel to address reliability issues. It’s a solid build and at the stated retail, should be a great value.

I always went with a 5:4 or so to address the resistance of a big bait. Less fatigue. I’ve moved up a bit to 6:3 with a 100 mm handle. I can easily slow down or maintain a quicker rate of speed and still minimize the resistance.

It’s easy to talk about topics that bring you joy and spur your passion and interest whether you have an audience or talk to yourself, which in my latest years, I seem to do often.

Enjoy the ride!

My son and I just watched episode 2 and I’m giving Zona a new nickname, the Menderchuk Maniac.

Space Monkey

About as much as I talk about my enlarged prostate.

Pull over. It makes it much easier when they put on my straight jacket.

I have one. I like it .

It depends on how much back child support you owe.

Munkin’s Steelie Dan

Lake Coeur d’Alene or Pend Orielle for me.

I’m sorry but what series of rods are those?? Disregard, Fantanistas
