Bass Pro to carry LEWS reels and drop Daiwa????

[Old plug]

BiLL ..... No gear snob. I have two low profile reels I have been practicing in my yard with one that is a Lew's simply because it is fast but does not like to backlash. Mine are hard to control. Mine are extremely fast I have no type of backlash conTrol. But like I say I could pitch them a easy 30 ft are with even light weight some pretty small stuff on them and 10 lb test. Stuff would kind of just float out there. With me it is 65+ yrs and hard to change. 

As far as the shoulder goes I was told by a Dr in Jeff city there could not be much done with it. Lot of complications with the rotary cuff from break when I was in my. 20,s  I am going to missou about it next month.

I will check & see if I still have that particular model. I know there are 2-3 in the garage. 

What kinda reels do you have to trade?

[fishinwrench]

I only have more round reels, so let's talk cash (or motor parts)  if you have one.

Ab's there is rumor on the street down here.  Nothing yet about Lew's, but Daiwa is said to be out and Shimano will have their products greatly reduced.  I got a felling that Daiwa was offered a similar deal and unlike Shimano told BP to stick it in their ear.

Daiwa Corp.  has yearly sales in all its endives projected for 2015 of 15 billion.  BP is not known, but is projected by Forbes to have 2 billion in annual sales

Be interesting to see how this plays out.

Glad that my sterling field journalism record and getting the latest scoop on gear remains intact. Maybe I have a career in TMZ Outdoors?

Breaking news Roland Martin just broke the world record largemouth at Lake Okeechobee with a 37lbs 2oz swamp toad slounch beast shattering the previous record of 22lbs 4oz held by Japanese angler Manabu Kurita. However, I have multiple sources citing that the record could be ruled ineligible as it was seen by a witness that Martin was cramming fishing sponsor products down the fishes throat....as he is well know for doing. The fish only measured 19 inches so tampering is undoubtedly suspected by Florida Fish and Game. Plus it was caught on a helicopter lure senko model on a 7'6" medium heavy boca grip rod ( neither has hit market yet). Oh Son. Stay tuned.

Martin is know for tampering. Some years ago he got caught on Truman with bass being hooked to his line that he did not catch then he would land them.I will not watch his show. He does a lot of product cramming on there.

I don't know much about Martin but I did fish a Mexico lake right after he left with his crew and all those people around the lake hated him. And they were really friendly people.

Here's what I've got, keep in mind that I'm the original owner. These aren't Craigslist rejects, they have a story behind them. Lol
