The safe to store in a condo makes me wonder. The product is 99% gasoline with the additives used in Sta-bil Marine 360 makes it good for 2 years of storage. The only difference on the product is it is in a metal can that is resealable which will keep it from releasing vapors into a living space. It is just as flammable as gas that comes from the gas station. The metal gas cans that are rated for gasoline will provide the same ease of storage as the metal tru fuel can does. So the next time you empty the tru fuel bottle use sta bil,quality 2 stroke oil and your favorite non ethanol or ethanol fuel with the sta bil product and you will have the same product much cheaper.

I do understand. I’m just chea.... thrifty. LOl.

A quarter liter of mixed isn’t going to do anything to 80 liters in your truck but give it to a homeless person on the street if it scares you.

Get some good used stuff. The reel at least should be decent quality and I would opt for some 20lb braid using a variety of leaders from 10lb to full 20lb. Lighter line to fish clear water in the daytime and heavier leader in stained water or at night. Personally I go from 20lb test leader at night and as the sun comes up I work down to 15lb. then 12lb. then 10lb. I don't go less than 10lb anymore but I used to go as low as 6lb Yozuri Hybrid fluro (it's thick line so 6lb Yozuri was similar to 8lb in other brands) but I had a Calcutta TE 401 at the time and on 6lb leader they would run away for 200 yards OR break off my lure. AT one time I used a Fenwick Musky class rod for salmon and it did work but it was a very stout rod that required heavy leader to keep away from break offs and thus resulted in limited success in getting bit in the first place. Salmon , like Rainbow and Browns can be very line shy ( as well as temperature averse, noise averse and just plain moody). Bronte has been both good and bad in the past but you should know that the boat launch is out of commission at Bronte so you need to launch from Oakville Creek or the lift bridge if you are running any sort of conventional boat. Kayaks, toons, canoes can launch at the beach or from the kayak dock at the eastern end of the harbour.

Keep it in the truck or buy a liter of gas, mix, use it and pour the little bit left into your truck and save 7 bucks

Shimano Sahara 2500 and a cheap 10ft or so pier rod is all you need. Load it with 8lb mono and go to town for casting. Muskie rod would definitely pull dipsys... I dunno if I'd put it on a rigger though.

For the type of fishing that you are contemplating, yes. If you like it enough to start heading out in the summer with down riggers and divers, then you will want to get some specialized salmon gear.

I wonder if I can get Newcastle Disease in spray form? A few bottles on the boat would be nice:)
