Deplorable Fisherman

Stupid, yes, but they sure managed to destroy plenty of peoples lives and businesses without having any pull...? ?‍♂️ I can take every scenario of the last year and break it down right to political decisions and lack of common sense by politicians. And I was just waiting for the thread will be locked as it should, because I know that I for one almost can't help myself it's so infuriating and I find the lack of awareness disturbing. I'm out though...I'll be good. ?

The answer is 90% political and 10% lack of common sense which means it's 100% political...I'll wait for this thread to be locked.

Tight lines!

7.9 oz vs 6.7 oz though...if you want light, the Ultegra isn't the one you want.

I owned a Procyon LT 2500 and it was a fantastic reel. I sold it ONLY because I wanted a Luvias FC LT and I had already spent the money I allow myself to spend on equipment. It was hard to part with it.

I think he means the Fuego LT is plastic. This term is pretty vague. To say something is plastic doesn't really mean the traditional plastics people think of. I'm an HVAC Engineer in sales. Our company owns a parts store and they sell "plastic" pads for equipment...it's really a composite material capable of holding 100's of lbs of equipment. It's hardly a weak or frail material. Just because it isn't made of metal doesn't mean it's weak. In fact, these materials are often stronger and obviously lighter than metals and are not prone to corrosion.

It's not really plastic...and I've been using a Fuego LT 2500 since they came out for jerk baits and top water at a creek, probably the most abuse you would put a spinning reel through and it's as solid as the day I got it. I have zero issues with line lay (they put extra washers in the box just in case but I never needed it). If you want a metal body reel it's not going to be light. Just because it's made in the same factory doesn't mean it's the same quality. Other than rumors, I see zero indication Piscifun is actually made in the same factory anyway...

St. Croix Victory 7'2" MH Moderate. Sounds like a good graphite rod for cranking. I actually grabbed a Major Craft Nanoace cranking rod...love it. Not much of a fan of glass cranking rods. Too heavy and not much on sensitivity for when you want to feel contact.

What's wrong with the Zillion 10? I have one and rank it up there with my Steez...?‍♂️

That's not a 2021 Zillion...that's the old model. Looks like a revamped Zillion 10.

Bass in my profile pic was caught on a t-rigged 3" Berkley Pit Boss. T-rig craw or creature bait is deadly.

I don't think they're going to compete with the leader in fishing line which is Berkley now that they're part of the same family. And I have been loving Berkley x9 and x5 braid...it's become my go to over Daiwa J-Braid. Spiderwire in the day was all the rage. I remember the commercials and all the other products they were coming out with Mitchell. My buddy still has a couple of Spiderwire bait casters and rods in his garage.

I've never had that kind of play in any of my Daiwa spinning reels. I'd say something isn't right and if you can, get it replaced.

I prefer they get used by someone rather than sit on a shelf collecting dust. That's why I take good care of them so they see the most mileage possible. I never throw them around and I use reel covers when traveling and they see seasonal maintenance.

I have a 6' MF I use for skipping tubes under docs. Great rod. Held up very well and sensitive.
