i hopefully could buy :reel abu cardinal 4x and rod - probably med power 7' phenix K2.
maybe look to sell my pool cues to pay some more on lawyer bills cause i'd have to be in deep trouble if i sold my fishing tackle-5 decades accumulation.

i have never been willing to spend some of my time to decipher the ingenuity of the C14+ moniker. i do have 2 stradics, both 2000's of some series.

i made and recieved an order from asian portal recently. arrival was much quicker that i thought it would be. ordered on june 6. 10 days later, june 16 i had it.

i made an order with Jun at japantackle on Mon, Apr 20 at 9:30 PM. after a false start on my part(ordered one knob when i wanted two) he got them on the way, only to have Japan postal service/customs to delay it until an oppurtunew time came. i got the order today. Jun had refunded me long ago, trus...

Outstanding!
Shimano: "Sorry, sir. That part has been discontinued."

Slazmo: "Really? Hold my rod."

i use whatever seems appropo: casting, spinning, fly. i'm willing to throw an old black Zebco 33 i grabbed a while back or even my abu matic 170. i've even trolled. quality is my deciding factor. i don't like cheap or poorly designed gear.

my money was refunded from japantackle very courteously at his request/offer. guess what just showed up at my home yesterday?! my order from japantackle. he's refunded me already due to uncertainty with Japan postal sevice. i've emailed him to let him know; waiting now for him to send a paypal requ...

a tidbit picked from a bamboo flyrod site
Here's a quote from Ernie Schweibert: "If you know how many rods you have, you don't have enough. (I don't subscribe to that, but I think it's knee-slapper)."

that is a wonderful start!!!!!!!!!! great pics. have you fished all of these? what are the crawdad/crayfish baits?

cool pics. for a nostagic challenge, show us some old, archaic lures, rods and reels. you know, the ones that have been collecting dust. empty out a crate, box, or two and shoot some pics.show the oldest, rarest, most favorite baits-not the most expensive. i would love to see what you have stashed b...

i've bought two refurbished items in about 20 years from retailers. a GPS(Magellan) and a handheld CB (pilot truck stop in Pa). Both useless. no more refurbished goods for me. they are not as good as new. i get a kick out of ebay listing when they say a rod has been retipped- a spiel to get around s...

just recently got a scorpion dc reel. put some line on it and went for a test . throwing some balsa/wooden crank baits was an eye opener. easy to get it to where i could throw well without any snafu's. sound is just icing on the cake. before i stopped i threw a couple of casts left handed. i've neve...

my money was refunded from japantackle very courteously at his request/offer.

i checked on an order from japan- cork knobs. they had been shipped BUT are being returned to shipper due to CV concerns. bummer

stuff happens. i had a hood pop up as well. i was on a side road maybe 35-45. safe outcome. bent corner of hood. thankful all was well as with you.
