  1. Yeah, it’s not a novel but we both know it’s not worth even pointing that out. The “it’s not worth it” concept: most of us are armed with this weapon but, sadly, never use it.
  2. Fair points, I guess. I never had a reel develop rot but definitely lube up your line, your arbors & your shafts. ;-)
  3. It’s ridiculous to me, too, but I think I considered some kinda coating or “conditioner” back before my life became 10 lbs ish stuffed in a 5 lbs bag. Lol. Still, Oiling braid is definitely on the list of “first world problems.” And probably most of the threads in this forum - maybe most of the site - qualify as FWP.
  4. My son and my nephews also pay absolutely zero attention to the swivels on rigs. To preserve rod tip guides, I tie direct from mono or braid to the actual rig. If it’s store bought, the swivel gets cut off & tossed into the glove compartment.
  5. And if you go bays/estuaries, a dead bunker from the bait shop and a cheap crab trap and a cheap minnow trap sometimes break the tension if you’re getting skunked. (I’m the skunk club expert. lol.)
  6. All of IBSP is a process to fish without the pass. For those walking the trails out to the beach, I’d say it’s roughly 10-20 minutes from parking to casting. my hot take- do what keeps your 12 year old interested. My oldest son (13) has video game brain. I aim for maximizing time fishing versus everything else. I’ll pay a fee to fish docks, or I’ll generally fish pull up park & start casting type spots. No success, we move. Therefore, bays/sounds/creeks are our target areas. We use 7-8 ft rods & baits like sand fleas (mole crabs) or minnows (mostly) because they’re easy to buy. Minnows catch anything and it’s easy to toss on a three way swivel rig (bare hook) or tipped on a bucktail if he’s more focused. That rod is 3/8 - 1.5 with a NASCI 5k. He is growing out of this phase and I will gradually show him more - get him out with me when the sun goes down. (Crushed barbs for whatever I give him.)
  7. Shimano C5000 reels are rarely more than 10-15 grams heavier than their 4k counterparts. Anyone know why the miravel is different? It’s 25 grams or .9 OZ which results in 9.5 (not much if any difference from the Aluminum Spheros SW 4k & the Stradic). ——— Not sure why I care - if that’s what you’re wondering. lol
  8. WHOAH!! Did Mercury make a competing car to the Chevy? Anyway, couldn’t be an “El Camino” in AUS. They don’t have LatinX culture. ;-) (playin)
  9. Tomo is quaking in his boots at the modern operation they got there. Lol. This Aussie is known as Smoko because - like calling a gigantic guy “Tiny” - this guy is never on smoke break. Semi trucks on the regular, fedex & DHL business accounts doing $10-20k daily. ———- Imagine if he listed his real address??!!!
  10. The website says the following under contact us: And that address on my iPhone map looks like this: And all the neighboring places look the same. This spot is 5hrs from the beach according to modern technology.
  11. Yamaga blanks blue sniper or Penn Prevail II? Somebody needs to go into the shop in person. AUS. Supposedly.
  12. You slick ole dog. You working both sides here? Just kidding. Genius move if anyone has ever played those chess games. (Only a politician could be that much of a sociopath.)
  13. According to that score, it’s 75% trustworthy so take a chance on a sub $100 Stella. Or a $96 2020 Saltiga. I wouldn’t spend $50 on this obvious rip off. I might go $35 for the giggles.
  14. I did this and I don’t trust the results.
  15. Of course. Not my major concern. I feel much more threatened when I say, “hunny I’m going fishing tonight.”
