It's that way for almost everything I order from East of the Mississippi River.
Recently had boat seats ordered from Tennessee that went to Phoenix Az., then to Omaha, Neb. then FINALLY to Gravois mills, Mo.
I don't have any experience with the smaller Suzuki's since 1995
Their older 2-stroke models were fine units.
Suzuki & Honda do not share technical info with guys like me, so your nearest Suzuki dealer (if you can find one) would be the place to inquire.
Been using these cheap 1/2" thick cutting boards for years. Attached with clear RTV.
Never have had one fall off 👍
Don't try cutting it with a jigsaw though..... it'll melt right back together behind the blade. Cut with a hack saw.
I've settled on a simple fur strip behind any type of muddler head. Fast water/Slow water/Still water.......For ME that gets bites consistently. Regardless of species.
Spank me with a ZC, any day, and I'll buy you dinner & drinks. 😊
That Cougar does look better in the vise though....No doubt.
You have done a fine job there, looks great👍
But of all the streamer patterns I've ever worked on, I gotta say THAT ONE has been a bonafide loser for ME. Can't even get a White bass to eat one during the peak of the spawning run. 🤷♂️
My very first flyrod was a 806 brown Fenwick with a 6wt. Level line. That one you have has a nicer reel seat on it 👍
I fished that rod for about 10 years.....then traded it to a guy for a Remington Nylon 66 .22 rifle (that surprisingly was a TACK DRIVER).
Does that one have metal ferrels on it ? That's the only thing I didn't like about mine.....and I'm not sure why, because it felt and casted really nice, even with the crappy line.
Same ! Didn't even lock the truck either.
One day, after school, we even threw clay pigeons and shot them in the school parking lot..... with our shop teacher!
He had a sweet over/under, and had built a hand thrower that would throw doubles.
When I was a kid our neighbor had an old Willy's Jeep. When we'd get a big snow he would tow 5-6 of us neighborhood kids around the streets of town on a big sled. Man that was FUN !
A fella would go to jail for life ("endangering the welfare") if you did that NOW. 🙄
By chance, do you remember (back in the day) when I used to piss & moan about an old buddy that I fished with frequently......and how long it took him to get suited-up & rigged ?
I'd like to take all that smack talk back now, JFTR 🙄
