Yep. I totally agree. I did notice the wrong oil but didn’t know it was a deal. I also noticed the old washers and the screw reversal. That is just another good reason to let those who know how to do it...do it.
Sounds like time to rattle some bucks and get a new truck. Make it the the previous alphabetical letter. You may have more warranty than you will need.
That is sorta like the way I used to do it after my comes by wrench started a new job. I think anyone with the tech can make a video. They aren’t all the same quality.
I’ve heard of it but not done it. I’ve also heard of rigging a tube backwards but haven’t tried that either. I have put one of my versions of a slab buster inside of a tube, just dinking around until my wife caught a 6.5# green fish on it.
I plan to launch at Hartley and work my way towards Mutton if the water is clear, if not I can go down lake towards Edge Island. I use a homemade jiggling spoon similar to a Hopkins Shorty 75.
Before we started selling off property, I wore a pistol every time I went to a particular one. There was always someone wondering around on it and most of the time they were armed. The only other time I carry is at night on Stockton when I am by myself.
It crashed into one of our dining room windows while chasing a junco. I sat there adelpated for about 15 minutes before it flew away. I thought it might have to go through the concussion protocol before it could play again.
2 Gloomis glx bait casters, mbr 844c and bcfr 863c, tomorrow I will be putting shrink tubing on the handles and mounting a couple of spare Curado 200 E 7s. I believe they will fit right into my Gloomis 844 and 843 line ups.
I crossed the James on the way south, up and muddy. I swung by Cape Fair on the way back from getting a couple of rods from Ken. Rolling mud with debris in the James and pretty dingy in the Flat. I believe that I will go north for a while as I have never been able to catch fish in cold muddy water.
