  1. I absolutely love the old Americas Cup J Class Schooners. Have a 3 foot model in my front bay window. Very tempted on this. Need to figure out where this one would be placed. Need dimensions on true actual length and overall height.
  2. Ok, I stand corrected. The ring may be zeebaas, but as you stated, it's custom mount.
  3. I have two ZB reels. Neither of them look like that. Please show us where, or when ZB has changed the design or supplier of the the hook holder. Even their website shows the "normal" looking hook holder. The one in the posting photo is NOT a ZB hook holder. I reiterate, looks like a cheap Chinese knock off.
  4. Looks more like a cheap Chinese Amazon knock off. The ZB hook holder has small foot print, and does not rust.
  5. Especially on road trips. Back to back home games are a different story.
  6. VS & Zeebaas are the only two I have experience with, and neither have failed over the last 20+ years. Yes, expensive, but the last reels you will ever need to purchase. Now, as for practicality... If you are not constantly dunking them them, swimming with them, using your rod as an underwater walking stick at Montauk, cranking underwater with them or dropping them in the sand, they will be overkill for your application. However, they are sure built like tanks and 99% bullet proof. If you are seriously considering one of those, keep an eye out in the BST. There is "sometimes" a pretty good deal on either one.
  7. Wrong?? Flouro is & will always be a COMPLETE waste on money for shoreline/surf in the NE. As for "recommending" a VS. Where did I say that? You reposted where I said a VS "SIZED" reel is recommended, yet you interpret and regurgitate crap that isn't true. You sir, are a complete troll. Now that we all know this, please let the OP have his thread back.
  8. As mentioned, could be spearing, small herring or possibly small squid.
  9. By the title of the thread I thought the OP was referring to jigging or retrieving live or cut bait with a VS reel, lol.
  10. Lol, no reasoning or rationalizing to be had. Complexly understand. My wife buys useless crap all the time. If it were me, I'd put the snake on a hook, and fish it. Then video myself using the VS pliers to unhook the fish of a lifetime, lol. Also, the pliers will last a lifetime. The snake will eventually die.
  11. Good catch!! Saved me $255 of criticism from the wife that I didn't need to spend, lol.
  12. If you're gonna gift it away at $265, you would probably prefer to have a $255 payment for it. If your going to PO tomorrow, I can send payment now.
  13. I think a lot of the lack of turnout is the fact that there are way fewer deals to be had than in years passed. Flea markets are supposed to be places of bargains & sales to turn over and move items. The "new" version of a flea market is to get rich & retire. A used Diawa BG is $10-$15 less than a brand new one?? Hello new. You get better deals on the BST forum than you do at today's commercially sponsored "flea markets", and there is no cover on the BST. After 40 years of watching the downfall of these supposed flea markets, they all suck now.
  14. d Agreed on the fish, but the pizza thing... not so. Plenty of pizza joints in the tri state area with good pizza.
  15. Would love to know WHY SI is equated or linked to the LI forum. SI is more Jersey thank LI.
