  1. Well, bummer... Now I own 4 rods that I'm not very interested in. I've had decent experiences with the company in the past, and never had to return anything.
  2. Is this a $250 reel for $70 disguised in a combo? I may have ordered 4.
  3. Thanks for the discount! I love glacier gloves. Fleece lined waterproof neoprene is the best option for driving exposed boats in winter conditions. They do come apart quickly if you use them for much else.
  4. I really hope that we (humans) don't suck so much at applying time travel solutions to problems (wars with aliens) if the technology ever gets invented. I can think of a few better ideas than only drafting people from one snapshot in history , 28 years ago.... cmon tacticians, apply some principles of time travel from back to the future or terminator. Wouldn't losing soldiers from the past impact the population in the future, worsening the situation? If not, why not draft the soldiers from 28 years ago, and once they die, draft them from 28.1 years ago and so on, for almost infinite numbers? I would hope that the future just give us the intel and let us prepare for war for the next 28 years. I enjoyed the movie, but thought we had a bad strategy.
  5. Who needs a reel anyways? That escalated quickly.
  6. I have: (excellent used) Shimano Bantam MGL 151HG (left reel) G Loomis IMX Pro 852C JWR Looking for: (excellent used or new) Van Staal reel (vr or vsx, 50 to 200, bail or no) I'm on the South Fork of Long Island. Could be passing through CT/RI next weekend (14-16)
  7. If you don't have purpose built apparel just use common sense and layers... non-cotton layers.
  8. Right now you can go everywhere except for a fenced off staging area the size of like a basketball court which doesn't infringe on the immediate coastline.
  9. "Revetment Construction Project – Montauk Lighthouse" https://montauklighthouse.com/revetment-construction-project/ It looks like some spots might be temporarily closed, but others will be open no matter what. There is a construction area there right now, but I just walk around it.
  10. I've been happy with the 5000 stradic FL on the 8ft black hole Suzuki for jetty stuff. The 4500 spinfisher vi live liner is pretty cool if you plan on soaking bait with circle hooks. For rods, I'd also give the J&H dark matter inshore a pretty strong look
  11. Could this be because of different gear tooth layout with the xg vs the slower jdm models?... I think Scooby's raving review was of a JDM FL.
  12. My Stradic arrived today, and I was pretty excited for the upgrade.... Until I put the handle on it and spun it around for a bit. I noticed a clicking sound while reeling. Tried to see if it was related to the top and bottom of the spool oscillation. It was not. Then I realized that the clicking was coming from the play/slop in the handle (or where it interfaces with the gears). Everything else seems smooth, but I'm a tad disappointed that this thing clicks so much. Is that normal for this reel, or is it cause for concern? Send it back?
