Yup thats the bad thing about big chains they have a big impact on mom and pop places wich in my opinion are great they have stuff u cant find online or even in big chains.I stopped at this one mom and pop about 8 yrs ago they had about 20 diff actions,sizes of garcia hellbender rods i shoulda bought them then but its about 50 miles from me and i was in a work truck hard to explain i was shopping LOL but i went past there about a YR later on my own time and they were closed down :'(

Now ur talkin thats prob what i spend 90% of my money on is clearance stuff i have 4 or 5 big rubber maid containers full of that stuff i wnet to kmart 2 months ago and got 6 mepps killer kits for 1 cent a peice then i went to the kmarts within 40 miles lookin for more didnt find none rattlesnake is another brand thats good ..

A full moon ....crawdads molt then not that they walk around like that but bass will still eat um if they see um

Some ppl work to live some ppl live to work ,What i hate most is when u go to a place and they follow u around like they are sellin a car and have NO CLUE what they are talkin about when it comes to the actual product!

sounds like a revo SX to me braid ready and smooth 2 gear ratios also

i use manns augertails in 12 inch just as good and yes they catch big bass summer spring and fall in MD u get like 10 in a package at 4 dollars about 15 diff colors

Well you will have to admit Garcia and shimano are really the only reels anyway!

I have 12 of them i use um more then my trigger rods cuase i like to be accurate at close range does me well i use mostly jigs with mine and spinnerbaits depending on how they are biting.Anyone have any for sale let me no??

Exactly i dont think bass say hey theres a sparrow let me eat him there brains are so small all they can do is basicly survive they see= find =catch =open =close if it fits they dont care if its a duck ,kitten, midget, or w-e ......

Buy up as many penns as u can find i handled a slammer nice reel i shoulda bought it marked down to 50 bucks at sports authority.

with my pistol grips i can cast med range or short way better then with my trigger rods no clue why they aint as popular now as back then i suppose diff styles of fishing BUT still a pistol grip to me is a nessescity

Manns 6" jelly worm in purple t- rigged and to think i own so many diff lures when in reality that one lure can do it no matter where u live.

I heard you take a piece of wood any kind will do as long as the fish fits on it bake it till the fish is done depending on size of course now this is important slowly take it out the oven slide the fish into a bag take the fish to ur dog or hog or w-e creature u have set it down for um on the ground and run cause w-e pet u have will hate u for doin this then go ahead and eat the wood !!! anyone heard this ;D

Im no tree hugger either but turtles are beneficial to our water ways .Think of turtles as vultures they eat a lot of stuff that dies and it could be dieseased.Im no boloigist either but we all know each animal has its place (not CHIGGERS AND TICKS ) If we use the assumption turtles are hurting the fish population does that mean we shoot every BALD eagle we see with a 2 lb bass hanging from its feet no.Like i say im no tree hugger they to me are considered terrorist .And us killing animals that have been in a lake long before we fished it is not natural a pond or lake or river has a cycle of life and if one is removed u might not see a diff in your lifetime but 30 yrs from now your kids or grand kids will not be able to appriciate that 30 lb snapper LMAO

I use 2 d5,s on clarus mh 6-6 rods with big game solar collector for my worms and lizards and a falcon pistol grip with a c-3 4600 on it and also 15 lb BG for my jigs its a 6 footer with a heavy action.

What about shelf live of line anyone have any stats i have a lot of big game i keep it in my closet no sun no heat or moisture ???

I voted manns hard to find aroudn here but i bought all i could 3 yrs ago when walmart had um on clearance i have over 300 bags of manns jellys worms and auger tails thing is i caught my biggest bass ever in 1985 on a 8 inch purple jelly worm 10-4 i live in maryland and thats a big basss the yr before that i caught a 9 -4 on a augertail manns i have many zooms and a few berkleys also i never know where ill be at in the USA so im stocked

NOW thats funny right there i dont care who you are ;D it can happen to any of us if we spend enough time doin what we love >BTW u could have taken the line guide off and tried that who knows maybe a new style with lowpro reels

Get a shimano clarus or convergance both have LIFETIME over the counter warrenties i think one is 40 bucks and one is 60

Is that a line counter on there now thats cool to keep records of how much line each reel can hold not that line is exspensive just nice to no if u have a reel with say 200 yards capacity and u mark ur spool of line for later use and it has 175 yrds no more puttin it on and wasting it. I think im goin to do that.

That garcia is a nice one smooth and a nice line lay for small lines i have a few of um they handle 4 lb XT really well .

Im a trilene fan trimaxx is great i used some 6 lb stuff tryin to catch a few crappie water was cold but it handled great no luck though it was like 39 deg and droppping spur of the moment im not to much on there other lines but when it comes to mono TRILENE is the best out there very consistant. I use 10,12, 15,20 lb big game for all of my BIG baits in salt and fresh water and use XT 4 lb and 2 for my ultra lights and sensation 6 and 8 for reg spinning applications.The month i have been messing with POWER PRO not fishing it yet to cold but so far fiddling with knots and outside casting made me a BELIEVER i love this stuff! BTW if anyone is a fan of big game if u see any solar collector in 10 or 12 lb BUY it up its hard to find and i see they dont make it anymore or maybe i missed the specs on it on the bass pro site and cabelas site i could be wrong??

Allstar is owned by shakespeare now and from what i can remeber it USED to be the only choice back for mid price and low price rods of course Gloomis was also around in the mid 80,s 90s .I saw them in bassproshops catalogs and cabelas they were the go to rod back in the day many endorsements >I have nothing against shakespeare i have many coastal ugly stiks i swear by but i think most all stars are made in china now...

Lighting .........make sure u have plenty of light i use a table and put a white sheet on it i worked on reels for about 3 yrs in a tackle shop that was my main concern was light take it apart as u do use the right tool for the job kind of make it explode in front of ya set it up and put each piece in order as it comes out put ur right side plate on ur right side left on left put ur first peice u take off far right and so on work back to the last thing its easier to do then type it out as for lube thats a hard one i use remoil for light duty and i myself dont like using a grease thats really very thick and i only GREASE my main gears the remoil i use on everything else the grease part is tricky to much and it will get gooey to little and u defeat ur purpose for using it i havent used it yet but thet hot sauce grease seems good or use grease from any manufacturer of the reel u have i hope i helped

I have a few 6 foot pistol grips love um for short range with jigs and spinner baits i have 5-6 ones also BTW anyone have any pistol grips laying around ?? for sale??
