Oh Rick I'm sure that he could always build you one.

Well, I prefer Nanofil because it out throws mono and it has almost no stretch so it is super sensitive and I get great hook sets and any distance. I use the White, but I would be comfortable using the chartreuse as well. The opaque colors don't bother the fish when I use a leader and they I also help you detect strikes. I use the leader because I am concerned that the Nanofil might reduce my number of bites and I want to extend the life of my Nanofil. It also doesn't hurt to have a leak link when you get hung up and WANT to break off. I use mono under the Nanofil and I am able to get two or three reels spooled with one 150 yard spool of Nanofil. I have used one spooling of nano for over a year w/o any problems. I use an Alberto knot to join my line to the leader. I tie in a piece of leader just long enough that the knot is not on the reel. I re tie when needed. I will use it until the leader length is down to 18 inches or so. I have used just the P Line CX or Silver Thread AN 40 as the main line and I caught fish just fine, but Nanofil has flat out made me a better fisherman. I think I have been using for about 18 months and I am an absolute believer in it. I also used braid for a while, but I lost casting distance using it. I dropped down to 4/15 and still struggled to throw it 2/3's the distance of mono, but I liked the lack of stretch. Nanofil is strong for its diameter, but it is thicker than braid on a per pound basis. Nanofil is thinner than mono on a pound per pound basis. Nanofil isn't perfect. It catches the wind a little bit more than mono and it gets twist in it and it is a little more difficult to de twist than mono is, but I have just about switched all my spinning gear over to Nanofil.

Lol. That's how it was for me in Viriginia on the New River. I had a light tap and set the hook into a large powerful fish that stayed down and stayed down and stayed down. Our guide started to wonder if it was a Musky. I've never caught a musky and quickly warmed to the idea. So I was a little disappointed when a fat 20 inch smallie finally came to the surface. Disappointed by a 20 ich smallie. Lol.

You did very well for yourself.

Was he a floater?

Justin you owe it to yourself to get a few Boogle Bugs. They hold up great. Get a couple of #10's and # 8's.

I think Darren needs a nap.

None of the above. I use 6 lb Nanofil with a leader. I usually use 6 lb P Line CX Premium as my leader. I catch my share of trout.

It's awesome. Function, durable, easy to do, and inexpensive. Brilliant !

. You can see a little bit of the rod tray in this photo. My understanding is that it is a section of vinyl gutter, but consider this a sneak peek before better photos and a better explanation comes along

I wish I was off and could go get after them. It would be a great day for Brown trout.

You and me both Griz

I enjoyed your old ride the other day. You and Richard both did some interesting mods on the Lowe. 27 MPH doesn't seem like much, but 27 to zero in a hurry will get your attention Happy for you both. Enjoy the boat.

$30'if it really worked wouldn't be too bad. You can apparently buy as much as you want for lures. Several multi hundred dollar lures on the market now.

You wii TFR you will

I'm awful fond of the BoogleBug poppers. Kinda spendy but they hold up great.

I really hate that I have to change the rod angle as I wind the Redfin back to the boat to keep it from diving on me. I tend to like other baits better than the Redfin.

Because no one takes medications that improve their life while they are still young and/or productive.

IF and when you can get the search function to work, there's lots and lots that has already been posted about this.

well, so far I've managed to avoid divorce lawyers. Maybe one day I'll need a lawyer and you might need some medicines to keep you alive or more comfortable.

well yeah.

What should concern us more is that most of the drugs used here in the US are made overseas. They do not have the same quality regulations and there is a large amount of drug counterfiting as well. We have put ourselves in a bad spot since a nation like China can shut off supplies of vital drugs at the drop of a hat.

I don't have my phone with me to check real time data. This inspections might take minutes or months, but I wouldn't jump to any conclusions just yet.

Thank you for that information. I don't "like" it, but I appreciate it.

Wow, 100 death traps laying around. I'm not gonna feel bd about expanding to a second box for my Ned stuff anymore.
