  1. Ceramic abec 7 all the way.

     

    You can bulk order from China very cheap.

     

    It's funny, I first figured out bearings through Skateboards, turns out its totally applicable to fishing reels.

     

    You will not beat ceramic bearings, tough as nails and smooth as trunkular trees

  2.  

    ya aside from the fibres all separating into individual lines and then bird nesting in my reel...then also leaving a burnt on plastic residue all over my reel...no real issues at all...stuff is straight doo doo

    I got that crap on sale and put it on my kids rod. I agree.

     

    Stuff is a nightmare, and good luck casting it more than 20ft lol. Nevermind casting in a wind.

     

    It's ok for jigging if you can stand the god awful sound

  3. I think if people learn what knot to tie, get good at doing it properly and use fresh or properly stored line, the vast majority of their problems with breakage will be solved.

    I'd agree. Only one line I have issues with and that's low test Berkley vanish. Breaks no matter what

     

    A double palomar on 8 or 10lb braid, I can break a jig before the line. Love it! Rarely ever loose any line if you know how to break it correctly

     

    Lower rod, point at the snag, grab line with glove and pull straight back. It will either break the line at the jig, break the jig, or free it safely and easily, depending on the snag of course

  4. Im just Getting used to all the new gadgets too.

     

    I love to Bluetooth phonecall crap and even the silly lil things like tire pressure monitors.

     

    Also nice to have the rearview camera for once, especially with 190 kids on our block

     

    Since we bought the truck the suv has hardly moved lol(sure that'll change with gas refills lol)

     

    My wife almost soiled herself at the first fill up hahahaha

  5. I too tested these in the oilfield.

     

    Best truck ever. But, the one I want is 20 grand over the Silverado, which was our second choice.

     

    It's actually the similar truck my dad wanted, but couldn't get approved for, so he got a fully loaded dodge 2500

     

    He's pissed at me right now lol

  6.  

     

    I have only ever seen a moose from the boat once....but yeah, that would be super cool!

    Bummer! I've seen it quit Abit on Mainville and surrounding lakes. Always cool to see

     

    Saw a bear once too

     

    But mainly we see them drinking at waters edge super early on the lake, so cool to watch
