This is a great thread Holliday, too bad that attention whoring short person has to pee all over everything.
It's okay - like I said
in this most sacred of holiday seasons we must attend in good spirit to the poorest of our neighbors.

You are so right, I mean we really have no idea what living hell the little feller is mired in.

Problems to solve this winter:

Need a reel to replace the short spool Shimano I'd been using on my dedicated topwater rig.
That reel, a Shimano c2000S is supposed to spool enough line for a long cast.
I cast long and have run the spool out of 10 lb fused (equiv of 4 lb mono)

I think Shimano fucked up an otherwise excellent reel there.

Solution: (or maybe not - time will tell)
Abu Garcia Elite Max 20. (this is for river fishing Smallies)

Needz Rodz to replace lower end spinning rods - again the river Smallies.

Ordered one Abu Garcia Veritas Medium Fast 6-12 lb line.
I'm thinking this as my topwater rod and hope it has the hooksetting capability I need on long casts.

Needz replace my 6' 6" utility rod, and jig rod.

Thinking the old Veritas line and Shimano HMG medium short rod (6'/6' 3") respectively.

Dobyns rods may figure in.
Great News
The outfitter reports that my order is being processed.

Hey Holigay ... I read ShimaNo and stopped, is the fishing stuff like the Bike stuff in that they FORCE you to use their own inferior product when trying to upgrade your get up, like using sizes only they use being a pain in the ass for the Bike stuff ... or are the reels what they are and can't be modified ?

I don't know.............

Gonna see if I can get an oz of coke and make some sense of what you write.

Shimano used to make some excellent casting reels.
I own
7 Bantam Mag 251 SGs
a 21 SG
a 201 SG

recently - a vintage (94) Curado 201
a modern Curado 201

and am thinking hard on a vintage Jap Scorpion 201

These reels- of the 80s and 90s (except the mod Curado)
are among the best freshwater reels ever made.

The Spinning reels I have owned - all modern Sedonas are also excellent values.

I doan no nuthin about the bike division,
but it is in my Will to be buried with one particular Bantam Mag 251SG (the most beautiful reel ever made).

I fish about once a month. For yellow fin, Dorado, Wahoo my favorite. It’s a tad expensive so I only go when it’s happening. Last trip with Jay we hooked a big bull Dorado. 50, 60 pounds. Fought him for 25 minutes, got a little too much slack in the line and he was gone. We caught several Tuna that day, so it wasn’t a total loss.

You come wet wading the Len for 8 or 9 hours with me and see how you fare there, lil coke queen.
