Cabelas salt striker is nice for the money I have one 12-25 I believe 3 piece , Okuma citrix 4 piece . LL bean has some that go on sale often. Fenwick makes some travel rods.

Is the axle mounted straight?

Haha I keep them, probably a couple kicking around here

Erie mostly , niagara region, maybe a couple trips to st.clair

I just bought a HDS8 and I'm curious to hear what chip I should use in it. Gold, platinum? Maybe something new I should try?

Let me know what you think

Thanks

Okuma citrix is a nice little 4 piece, cabelas salt striker 3 piece is nice for $100 and LLBean has a travel rod with great reviews

I use a shimano 8000 baitrunner spinning reel with 50lb power pro, use big popper 5"+ a lot to keep baits up high. And the longer bait seems to help keep leaders out of the teeth.Cudas cut through 100lb floro like nothing, I started using the tufline wire lead material

Got this guy back in March

Supposed to be a all lab but pretty certain he's got some hound in him

Baits are made to look like food, fish like food. The species specific labels are more for catching fisherman I think. Trout will eat just about anything

Awesome build Chris, as always. Gets the tackle junkie wheels turning LOL

done,Good Luck

Cabelas salt striker is a good travel rod you can some times get the combo on sale, Okuma Citrix is nice for the money, also LL bean makes a travel rod with good reviews, ugly stick also makes one that is pretty indestructible

Wrap it back up and write return to sender and throw it in the mail box, he's probably been driving it into everything he can find in the past 6 months

Sorry if someone went over this. But I'm closing on my first home March 3rd with my GF, we both had an idea of what we wanted, and I avoided a reno home to a well keep home, I ended up with a house that was at our high end of budget but move in /liveable. There's room to upgrade but liveable, if I had to do a full reno debating over. Paint, counter space......etc..... I'd be a bachelor and fishing the salt all winter , Dang......... I'd only flip or build my forever home if I could afford a second home I don't want to live in a construction site
