I use the Bomber Long A most of the time. Second is Rogue.

Another guess...do you have aerated live wells? My boat has a vent like the hole in your pictured plate that sucks in air when I run the live well pump. But my plate has a label that reads aerator.

True. It helps. But I pay all the bills, which aren't many anymore, and get what I want. She spends her income from her part-time job how she wants (mostly on grand kids) so we're happy. My children make good incomes and they are always giving me gift cards or buying me new stuff too. I pay for the boat, and they can use it anytime they want.

I have two tournament pros and just bought a bunch of Team Lew's speed spools TL1H. Upgrading most of my gear before I retire.

Kistler Zbone 7'11" ex heavy/ (was using pflueger president) but just bought Revo3 STX for it/25#Invisx Kistler Zbone 7'6" heavy//pflueger patriarch/20# Invisx (just bought Team Lew's TL1H for it) Kistler Helium 7'6" heavy/Revo3 STX/20# Invisx

Nothing minor about it! LOL Like the day I bought a new Phoenix 721 and just brought it home and my wife didn't know. I don't know how she put up with me for the last 35 years.

Where I fish, I normally use 20-25# Invisx for nearly everything, but do go down to 15# sometimes.

I have more stuff in my garage than most tackle shops. I really need to sell some! I bought 20 new reels in the last 90 days. That's on top of the 10 I got last year on Black Friday. Total of 16 Revos and Lew's this week alone. If you see some new Lew's for sale, you'll know why. I don't know what I was thinking. Doh!

To not spend so much money on rods and reels. I bought 15 or more set ups in last year. I've added to all my previous rods and reels. Now I have, I don't know, maybe close to 40 total.

I have a BA in English and Masters in Communications, but I spend my work hours writing and evaluating business contracts, looking at spreadsheets of numbers, and managing budgets for a magazine. If you like to write, consider marketing or communications degrees. PR is an option too. "Nitty, Gritty" is what editors want in a manuscript. If your grammar is awkward, editors will most likely reject your manuscript because they don't have time to rewrite it. The writers of classic books are still famous for their use of the English language. Read those books. Start a blog and write everyday. (Who knows? You might even earn some money from it.)
