That is a very nice bass. Such a great feeling taking kids out and getting them on to fish, good for you.

Would second Dan's suggestions if you are keeping the $40 limit. The Total Tackle setup will assist you in catching fish and you mentioned that you are not a heavy fisherman but I can tell you that it will only take a few heavy fish before the Rod will begin to suffer. Good luck with whatever you choose and look forward to hearing how it works out for you

Mostly nice day and you accomplished your 2 tasks Thanks for taking the time to share your day and pictures.

Better than any day I have ever had on Scugog lol Musky are excellent jumpers, congrats on tangling with your first Posting pictures.... Photobucket would be my suggestion also if you would like to post your pictures and cannot resize them. If you need further assistance, feel free to PM me.

Excellent report and congrats on the Musky....love that weak in the knees feeling when you have one on the line..thinking to yourself the whole time....Don't lose it don't lose it .........

Nice pictures and fish Glen, glad to see that you got out and thanks for the team upgrade

I own an Okuma Diezel spinning combo and have used it for the last three carp seasons, surf fishing for salmon and occaisionally for trolling. Combo was purchased for $40 US and still going strong. Vs A $40CN spinning combo from a local retailer (wasn't a big brand name) used shore fishing for fish in the 8-15lb range, that did not even make it one season, mono line grooved the eyes and the drag was shot. My point, echoing what Raf shared with you, for the price, decent gear. Not sure what you are going to be targeting with this setup but being that it is an ultra light, I am going to guess that it is not for large fish?. Although there seems to be a high percentage of members here who do not like Okuma the rod you are considering appears to receive more positive than negative reviews when I googled it. Happy fishing

Will definitely include your family and the staff in our prayers. All the best and a speedy recovery for little Jacob

Over the past few years there has been much talk about tire age and the fatalities link to "old" new tires. North America recommends replacing all tires 10 years or older (Europe recommends 6) even if never used and never buy/use a tire that is older than 6. There is now talk of establishing a policy that all tires have an expiration date. quote from some of the tire info.... "Tires deteriorate over time, even if they are not used or driven on. The tires may appear to be in like-new condition on the outside, but inside the rubber is slowly deteriorating. This may dangerously weaken the tire and increase the risk of a blowout at high speed or during hot weather." Appears that your tire is a perfect example. Hope there was no other damage and that you are able to get the tire replaced.

excellent bass and photo catch!
