  1. I carry 2 lures. Bucktails and diamond jigs. That is it. I like to keep things simple. Bucktails imitate any kind of bait. Can be fished at any speed. Can be fished at any level in the water column. And can be fished in any conditions. And diamond jigs are always good to have. I used to carry needlefish, pencil poppers, little neck poppers, Danny plugs, shads, bombers, etc. But I look back and realize all the money I wasted on those lures. Not to mention they are all niche lures. Buy a 5 dollar bucktail, and you have a lure that can do it all. Bucktails are so effective, that during WW2, the US Navy packed each survival kit with a handline and a bucktail for soliders to catch fish for food if they got stranded on an island. And don't even get me started on bait. Buying bait is the biggest scam going. Even if the fish are lazy and don't wanna chase lures, throw a bucktail out, and retrieve it ever so slowly on the bottom.
  2. I guess that's true. It's like fishing with an old heavy fiberglass rod, or using an old wooden surf board. Or using a wooden tennis racket.
  3. Or I was thinking about finding a used Penn 710 on ebay. Or is a modern reel better??
  4. Yeah, the machined gears and sealed bearings seem like a big plus. The new penn pursuit 4 reels also have sealed bearings like the battles. But they still use cast gears. I guess to keep it at a certain price point. Yesterday, I was at a local tackle shop and was playing around with the penn spinfisher. That reel seemed really nice. After doing research, the battle and spinfisher both have sealed bearings, machined gears, ht100 drags, and full metal bodies. Only difference is that the spinfishers have the fully sealed bodies. Decisions and decisions
  5. Good afternoon, I am on the fence about buying a penn battle 3, or a Daiwa BG. I know that the Penn battle 3 reels have CNC machined main gears, and the Daiwa BG has cast main gears. I was thinking of going for the CNC machined gears since they will probably last a lot longer than cast gears. I will be using the reel as an all purpose reel. Off the beach, jetty, and Pier. The new Penn pursuit 4 reels now have sealed ball bearings. And I was also thinking maybe splurging and getting a Penn spinfisher. Any tips??
  6. I didn't say how many old people you see that Collect old cars. I said how many do you see everyday actually driving them. All the old people I see driving are driving around in Nissans, Hondas, Toyotas, Lexus. All the old people in Florida have Mercedes, jaguars. So I guess if a guy doesn't have at least one vintage car, he should give up driving. You aren't very bright, are you??
  7. I need a reel that's going to get splashed.
  8. Let me rephrase. He listed the best saltwater reels as follows. Shimano spheros as number 1. Followed by quantum Cabo, daiwa BG, Penn 704, okuma azeros, shimano Socorro, shimano Sedona, and daiwa SS. Which of these would be best for surf fishing in your experience?
  9. So I was reading Alan Hawks list of the top rated saltwater reels. He listed the Daiwa BG, quantum, Cabo, shimano Socorro, shimano spheros, shimano Sedona,
  10. So I'm thinking between the new Penn 710 on eBay for 170 dollars or a new shimano Sedona 6000 on eBay for 70 dollars.
  11. Bought an older Shakespeare alpha spinning reel on eBay. New in the package. Probably from 20 years ago.
  12. Maybe just to keep on the shelf
  13. Sometimes you can score at garage sales if the owner doesn't know what they have. My neighbor went to a garage sale a few days ago and bought a Penn international baitcasting reel for 15 bucks. My father bought a Penn senator 6/0 reel for 10 bucks at a yard sale about 8 years ago. Never know what you'll find.
