Re: Pixy ZPI-301 Spool

Well this all makes me feel a little better about my burial instructions. I asked that I be buried with my two 301 spools, one in each hand, and it's good to know ya'll will be okay without them. :big grin:

Re: It’s 2018, why are you buying reels from the past

I have Conquests (50 mainly), Pixzillas (2003) and DC7 Calais mostly. I've been watching for something that might motivate a change but nothing has moved me in a long time. Maybe if someone would make a new orange reel.... :big grin:

You can still get Hula Poppers in a variety of sizes for around $5.00. They definitely "bloop".

Lots of folks don't consider 1/4 oz. a light w8. Compare them at 1/8 oz. ;)

Re: Rod for calcutta conquest bfs?

Daiko is no longer making rods. You would need to find a used or old stock one.
