The float reel was considered bullet proof due to its construction. I personally found mine too heavy and did not like the location of the reel handles. I have not seen one around in years. Can't offer what it might be worth; however, there are some floatfishing sites that list used reels for sale. You just need to do a bit of web surfing.

Ote no longer (bankruptcy protection) exists with a former member, who went off on his own (with his wife) and started a new company ow being investigated for fraud.

I just replaced with new. Not aware if ethanol tolerant lines are available.

Also running a 1991 Evinrude without any issues. As Spiel suggested, I changed my fuel supply line. The assumption that marinas are providing ethanol free fuel is not true.

I switched to Patagonia Cloud Ridge Jacket and Pants about 5 years ago and have been very pleased.

Salt cure. Air dry in fridge overnight and sprinkle with mule team borax and into day sized baggies has been my go to for the last 25 years.

Consider Streamside, low budget good performance for the price rods.

I use it in my float fishing set up. Yes, an Asian product

Have tried quite a few over the years and I've settled on Sunline Super Sniper.

Can we keep the politics out if this discussion, otherwise it will go south quickly

There is no wholly owned Canadian native refinery BTW

Last sentence totally inappropriate. Please consider editing your post.

Coho

I have had Okuma's for several years without any issues whatsover.

I replaced mine after 27 years, just because....with no real issues. I keep my original line as a spare.

I agree on the durability and abrasion issue when using nanofill for floatfishing in freezing conditions. Crystal is superior IMO. What is even better is the fireline Ultra 8; however, they have chosen to discontinue this product as well. I had to search a lot to find one spool.

Looking forward to seeing the completed rod.

X2 on the motherboard being the likely culprit.

Please no more more covid opinions. The thread just goes sideways from there.

I worked as a Resource Tech there in 1978. The only restricted lake access was the former mill property south of the Frost Centre that was the home of the biologist. That property was sold separately.

Baitfish eggs you cannot release into the water. If chumming of eggs was to be targeted, you can bet the regs will be quite specific on that matter.

You missed the part that this new law has to do with BAITFISH and not roe. No need to muddy the water with your statement.
