I should have tried this! Mine went from reeling in nice and slow to absolute insanity... I couldn't turn it, stop it or do anything. Even putting pressure on the spool didn't help. I just shook my head while the reel screamed like mad. Then I had to go buy more line, lol! I love chinnies!
Be diversified. So many people put all their eggs into one basket. That's a bad bad decision. RRSP, ETFs, DCCP through work, stock purchase plans, etc..
Have you tried wearing latex gloves under the Under Armour gloves? It's cheap and it will at least let you keep your sense of feel without worrying about getting wet.
Suffix 832 is garbage when it's warm out, god I hate that stuff. I can't even imagine using it on the ice. I'd probably try to stick my head in the hole and drown myself if that was the only line available.
Asking for stores that stock this stuff is like asking for secret fishing holes :)
I ordered all my stuff directly from Lunker City, less of a hassle. I've found a few places, but none of them seem to carry the stuff I want.
