  1. Another fun question would be: how did you handle getting caught doing so?
  2. Okay. Okay. So that's that. Now I'd like you say one thing, Mr. theshadow: "I Like Turtles". Say it now.
  3. I got my three new line rollers from Shimano. One them had a big gob of cream colored grease inside it. The other two were dry. What gives? I am going to try the greased one first.
  4. Sometimes it's easy to fly off the handle when you start off being nice to folks and they turn out to not reciprocate. So I can appreciate that. I look at these things as basically road rage situations.
  5. It rarely happens but it's not at all an unusual even. Only happened a few times to me. And yes it does get one riled up. But the stuff 5555s said, before he left this thread evidently following the advice I gave about just walking away if you feel angry, is the better way to handle it.
  6. Ok I just visited the resource that won't let us put bikinis in our avatars. I agree with you it was not a "stated threat". I was an implied threat. A stated threat would have been if he said "I will do something you won't like if you don't leave right now". The OP said "I strongly suggest you leave right now." in a "borderline menacing" tone after staring at her to the point of her becoming visibly nervous. The OP was in similar situation to one faced by citizens being shaken down by the mob. In that case, someone in the OP's shoes would say, "Shame if your nice family restaurant were to burn down to ground." Implied threat. Like the mobsters, the OP knows how to make a baleful menacing threat by implicaiton rather than overt statement. You don't just come out and say it --that is what these people know, instinctively perhaps. So I agree with your points. But I don't see that it changes the bottom line: why would anyone come on a fishing site and boast about their skills in threatening women in a park(skills at making implicit threats)...this is beyond me!
  7. Well I wasn't saying he should walk away. I was saying walking away an option for him to enjoy or chose instead threatening a woman in a park. I do think he shouldn't threaten ladies in parks. That's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. You are in favor of threatening ladies in parks, and that's fine, but what about the angling community as a whole? It reflects poorly on us. See Tucker Carlson video of dealing with someone bothering him while fishing in the Park.
  8. You know it could have been bearings and not the gears that were going bad. Probably was the bearings actually. Bring up another problem with BG. I could not get replacement parts for them. Shimano got me three new line rollers in a week for my Stradic FK. Potato chip line lay is one of the line lay problems I had. That and the sharp recessed gaps at either both or one end of the spool. Other than that I liked the BG.
  9. I had the line roller seize up real quick on my BG and the bushing it is supported by maybe gets distorted or loses material when it is seizing up such that you can never really get it rolling again. Also foudn that the gears wore down and the reel got pretty rough very quickly with those BGs. I used 4K as well. Also my BGs I've had three all had line lay issues of one kind or another--would even get gaps at the top and the bottom of the reel! Lots of windknots due to line catching on buried line at the edges of the gaps and a few lost lures.
  10. Shimano Spheros is one to look at. I guess the Saltist line is another. Penn Clash is yet another. I just got Spheros. 5K. Can't comment on how it's working yet only been using couple weeks. You know how it goes.
  11. Well my line roller bearing seized up pretty hard finally and I outlayed for three replacements from Shimano. Not bad compared to the 15 I paid to get a single replacement via the auction site. They say not to put anything on these because it can harm the hyrophobic coating on the plastic bushings that are part of the line roller, but that coating has failed to really work, so I guess I'll try packing the whole line roller assembly with grease and see what happens. What would be a good grease to use?
  12. What about Spheros. Spheros is Shimano. Saltwater etc.
  13. Thanks a lot for the further advice H'Islander. I will pay attention to your instructions. I hope that one above gripping the tag end as close to the bend as possible is the kicker for me. I suspect I been not doing that at all.
  14. You should have done a reel underwater test separate from the casting it out test. How deep was water you casted it into? Sad that you have to service the entire reel!
