@Bird Although I’m not a gambling man I’ve heard these same words uttered on my local sports shows and from too many people I know that are.

@TOXIC Although I’m not a fan I know Modelo has a few different versions of them in various flavors.

@NorthernBasser I’ve been chasing his comment ever since I’ve seen that video and can’t find any information to confirm that comment 🤔 I’m going to my local fishing show on the 18th of this month and my favorite local shop said they will have them there for me to handle/ogle 😃

@TnRiver46 @slonezp I’d be leaving like 🤣🤪

@slonezp I’m just messing with you my friend. But although I forgot how to quote someone on here I give you this as far as Illinois 😉

So I’m enjoying a couple Coronas tonight (boring) but I grabbed 2 of these Wednesday night took the pictures and forgot to post them 🤪 So I’ll post them now. P.S. I couldn’t resist as I was getting gas the gas station had these on sale 2 for $5.00 and I can’t resist a bargain 😃

@slonezp What the h**lis in the water up there 😆🤣 Down here in the New Lenox area we’re a h**l of a lot more refined 😆🤣 You’re going to give Illinois a bad reputation 😜

@ghost I watched a Tactical Bass gear review today on you tube and he was very excited to get his hands on a new SLX MGL 70 A, he mentioned the new spool, the quiet drive or whatever the heck it’s called but nothing about the frame being smaller. I know nothing about MGL 3 spools but he was very enthusiastic about it being lighter. I’m not sure if you made your mind up between the new or older version but I hope this helps if you didn’t😉

Welcome from Illinois 🙋🏻‍♂️

My condolences to you and his family.

@Sabo Although I’ve not used the Kastking tri polymer I’ve been using Kastking monofilament in both red and blue at $11.99 for 600 yards 4 pound test for the past few years with zero issues and zero line changes. I guess I lied the blue has faded a lot faster than I would like but the red is absolutely the same color as the day I spooled it on.

@MiceNReets

Although im not brand loyal and finally bought a Shimano spinning reel (Stradic 1000) I’m going to agree with something @MN Fisher is not mentioning but has in the past. That’s line capacity which I find way too high for 1000 size Daiwa reels unless you go JDM. If you’re not opposed to an Amazon/Chinese reel which I respect anyone who is I can’t recommend the Piscifun Carbon X or Carbon X 2 enough. They are $59.00 or $69.00 and are as well built and as smooth as the Daiwa Fuego or Daiwa Legalis LT I handled prior to purchasing the Stradic and have stayed that way for more than a few years.

@ghost

@Koz The Hawks have no chance at any of my dogs but when my kids were young we were eating dinner with my kids facing the patio doors when they both asked why is the fence bleeding, as it turned out the resident hawk was feasting on a rabbit nest from our backyard neighbor and enjoying his meal while perched on the fence 😬 thankfully the kids weren’t too freaked out.

Condolences and prayers for your girlfriend, her family and you.

@FrnkNsteen ⬆️ I’m with Tom, interested in the start up company.

@aceman387 That is one of my favorite songs from the first time I heard it on the radio and I’ll never forget the video where you could see the back and forth 🤔 one upping between Richie Blackmore and Jon Lord. I know that’s Ian Gillian singing and the bass player Roger Glover and although the drummers name is escaping me do you know if that’s the drummer from the original band? Also the guitar player sounds pretty d**n good too. I’m going to look for the performance/album on Spotify.

@NorthernBasser

I was in my local Walmart a few weeks ago and they are still selling for full price but after reading this thread I’m going to check and see if my local store is clearing them out. I will say I see quite a few people saying they change out the hooks on the hard baits but I’ve never had any issues with them being that they are Eagle Claw hooks. If nothing else I’ll fish them until they’re dulll and then swap them out, but to each their own.

@12poundbass Persistents paid off 👍🏻

Although I can’t find any other information regarding frame size other than the video I referenced I’m thinking the upgrades are going to be the same as the upgrades they performed on the SLX A. This is purely speculation on my part however.
