So then don’t ask her to try it. Just use it in front of her and then put it away without saying a word. I guarantee she’ll give it a test drive when you’re not around. That’s how they operate. Its just a chess game, gotta use . . . “Strategery.” 🙄
Crabbie - if you are concerned about "voids" there are two ways to address this.
One - really slather on enough epoxy that the space between the tape arbors are well filled as you push/twist the grip up from the bottom of the blank (which is what I showed in my three threads, albeit with...
The very last flounder trip on the Leprechaun - May of 2009. Had my old friend Donn/DCBassin aboard and we ran from Seaford all the way up Raritan Bay, within sight of the Outerbridge Crossing to get 'em. That was a VERY long way to go to fill a pail, but at that point in time it was make the...
Nice, but I still value my decrepit body enough to NOT buy her a vacuum cleaner for Christmas. If she follows thru with what I think her reaction would be, it'll be tough to do my boat's Spring prep from a full-traction bed.
Buuut - I COULD get it for myself - and then ask if my wife would...
I greatly prefer quality EVA myself, and would always go in that direction (see my previous three rebuilds).
But his intention was that he has a set of four of these and wants to keep them matching perfectly. Thus the pre-formed cork grip suggestion.
Sorry, I was watching the Knick game w/my son. He’s even more diehard Knicks/Mets than I am, and that takes some doin’.
You’re on the right track. I would make five tape arbors with 1/2” tan masking tape, fitting each to the grip in turn - to moderately snug. Next slather it all up with the...
Your welcomed. Just cut the forward tenion off the new grip and push it up flush with bottom of the reel seat.
Replace the entire grip. It would look like a foogazy half-ass patch job to do it any other way, because the new cork will probably not be a perfect match for the old, thus a partial...
Mine's on the way. Also a few "special touches" from AliExpress vendors Heighten and Gomexus, and a spool of 20lb Momoi Diamond Braid Gen3 in orange. Gonna be a nifty little fluke killer.
Crabman - I feel your pain. You can refer to my three rod "rebuilding" threads for how to make this situation right.

If you missed out on this the first time thru, Tackle Warehouse is offering the same deal - $109 with FREE shipping right now on the 2000D and 2500D sizes. The 2500 and the 3000 sizes are identical reels, just a slightly deeper spool on the 3000. I couldn't resist spending some of my year-end...
Hit the 90' drops N of 17 for 45 minutes w/o a tap. Moved to Jersey 65' and had some very limited life. Capt Mike, Robbie Pav and I ended with only 3 Rec keepers and a bunch of Comm toss-backs. A truly gorgeous ocean today - like Capt. Mike said "50 miles of ocean-running and not a drop of water...
Hiya Scott - so first off, both the Abu Revo series and the Penn Squall/Fathom baitcasters come out of the Korean company "Doyo's" factory. Its Pure Fishing's way of consolidating production expenses, as they own both Abu and Penn. Not a bad thing, just wanted to put it out there.
I understand...
Happy Thanksgiving to all here on NYAngler. We all have much to be thankful for this year.
Not the spotty bottom fishing though. Not real thankful for that. . . 😐
I've fished enough with Mike to make a valid observation that though his Eastern Sound fishery is still quite good, it is not what it was even five seasons ago. He is working harder (and smarter) in order to keep his catching consistent. And the size is down out there as well. Most eastern...
