All media is sponsor supported. Whether it be print or electronic. I don't think it's "Bull" and in fact find that SOME advertising is actually entertaining/educational. Some magazines provide much more information/entertainment than others.
I don't think the poll will show you anything as most people use different lines for different applications. For example, I use braid and mono for different types of fishing. I also use fluoro but only as leaders.
I used to hang out at Skinners all the time Brian. It was THE place to buy bait in the early 60's. Good find for sure!
That one that was made in France is called a Vi-Viff....was all the rage back then. One of the first rubber baits.
Morning Lew! Was great, thanks for asking. I can't believe how quiet those things are. I must say, I was a little leary about the size of the monster on my boat but, it IS within the plate specs. Will take that J woman out today.
This probably doesn't interest a whole bunch of folks but I'm as happy as a pig in poop right now. Had a new motor installed on my tinny this morning. The thing's a monster compared to what I had. I still have just a few little things to do around the house then I'm going for a maiden run. And yes, it's a TILLER! WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!
