guy that stands in a Culdesac and casts at the b-ball hoop? me (DVT review)

[Darth-Baiter]

it is almost 50/50 if some dog walker doesnt walk by and asks, "so, are they biting?"  hahha...it never gets old.  (okay, i lied :D)

 

i got two reels back from DVT.  a Shimano 150MGL and a Garden variety Daiwa SV TW.  i took both undersized reels to Brazil and took LARGE hard-charging fish with them and they came back "different".,   the Daiwa made an awesome clacking noise and required a bearing be replaced.  haha.  it took one or two 10lb fish to damage that reel.  the Shimano just needed a clean and lube.    it took many many fish.  DVT said the drag was A-OK!  (and the winner goes to....)

 

i typically use a west-coast dude to do my reels.  no issues really.  but he is retired.  so i sent my reels x-country to our very own DVT.  PAINLESS.  there is a certain level of trust needed to send a reel out.  DVT, didnt fix anything unneccesarily, and he had full transparency.   i was quite literally that guy at the Mechanic's shop saying, "it's making a weird noise!"  "well, sir you appear to need a new transmission, it will cost you about the same as my kids orthedontics bill..errr...$4000"

 

Nope.  DVT took care of my stuff, and he even sent me the wrecked bearing as proof.  haha...

 

back to my culdesac "fishing"  both reels are SINGing.  i almost ran inside the house to toast some bread, because both reels are BUTTER!  and DVT didnt take all my reel settings to ZERO like my last guy.  the last guy tucked in all my centrifugal brakes and turned the dial to ZERO.  and loosen the heck out of the spool.    my first culdesac cast last time resulted in cussing and scissor work to clear the resulting mess.  i think he wanted me to pull out my reel, spin it and go..."whoaaaaa".  this time i was wise enough to double check.   i was plunking the basketball hoop foundation from very far away.  fun.  

 

great service.  fast!!  really fast.

Next time someone on the culdesac ask if they’re biting just tell them you caught two and hold up an imaginary stringer.  That should keep them from asking again and they probably won’t even walk in your direction when they see you fishing.🤣

You might also answer the way I do when a boat comes near and asks hoe I’m doing.  I say, “If I get the one I am after and 2 more then I will have 3.”

I’ve caught many a grass carp casting out on the front lawn.
