    What are you smoking now??

    The Oliva Serie V Melanio is a great cigar,I like the figurado as they burn faster than most.Always have them in the humidor.They go on sale quite often at Holts,box quantity is only 10 and they are priced very reasonable.

    Shimano EXSC3000 2021 Exsence Spinning Reels

    I would not go near a magnesium reel for saltwater either. I owned a 2500 Daiwa Certate and sold it and now have a barely used Certate 4000 that will be up in the Flea market within a week.There OK but just not the reel for me.Have friends that love them but I just do not like the transfer of...

    TYNEX leader material.Greg on the Ocean Eagel and Steve EC Newell man use to sell it.I have long stopped using TYNEX . Fluorocarbon works for me on the tog grounds.I can see where it may be useful for cod/Seabass on bait rigs though.Id just use a standoff knot instead and it works good...

    New 2021 Shimano Twinpower SW

    I'm really happy with my Twin Power 2500 FD that I purchased this year.So much happier with it then several Daiwa Certates that I owned.I know the FD is a different class of reel then the SW series but Put a pile of big tog over the rails using it out to 102" and it was flawless.

    Berkley X-9 in Flame Green

    Lep that's very interesting what you say about line diameter and measuring.I have no doubt manufacturers are a bit over zealous on the diameters and stretch the truth because who is going to hold them responsible.Im guessing when you measured the lines they were thicker then stated??? Im sure...

    Berkley X-9 in Flame Green

    20 LB X-9 braid is thinner then Sufix 8 lb 832 braid.Hope that clears things up.If Stren 8 lb mono is aproximately (DEPEND WHICH STREN) .010 to .011 inch it appears you will need 40 OR 50 LB Berkley X-9 to equal similar diameter of the stren mono.This should allow you to put the heat to those...

    Berkley X-9 in Flame Green

    Your answer to the diameter questions is in my post right above yours.It is much thinner then Sufix 832.You will have to use 40-50 lb X-9 braid to be close to stren 8 lb diameter.Its available in 328 yard then goes up to 2188 yard spools.I don't ever recall seeing a 600 or 1200 yard size like...

    Berkley X-9 in Flame Green

    Great line and I use it on numerous reels.I cant see quite like in my under 50 days so hi vis or the white has worked out well for me.The fish dont care as you will have mono or floro leader on anyway.The X-9 line does slice easier then Sufix when contacting the wreck or sharp hard bottom when...
