They were getting 50 bucks apiece for those damn things ?!?
And some of you guys were actually buying them !?!!!!

The mind boggles.

And here's another thing that makes absolutely no sense to me.
How long has Qaddafi been the head despot in charge of Libya ?
So why is he still a Colonel ? Don't you think it's high time
he promoted himself to Maitre D' or something ?

Jeez, I can remember when women used to think he was hot and there were
people trying to hawk his "Little Green Book" ( inspired by the Maoists
Little Red Book, I believe) on the street corners of Madison. It sounds
pretty much like he's now decided being a Maitre D' at the International
House of Bushcakes isn't such a bad position.

Still too cheap to get one, are you?

It's no secret I am a fan of a fairly high profile brand. But I recently
cast with several rods from the cabelas range and have to say, on a value
for money basis, pretty damn hard to beat!

I think that when he came to power, he had everyone of the same or higher
rank killed so that he was the highest ranking officer.....sort of the same
way some guys try to gain power in a big corporation.

Rome didn't build a great empire by having meetings, they did it by killing
everyone that got in their way....(Bring that up at the next meeting)

man, i wanna be there albie fishin with ya.... I'll think I'm Jimmy Houston.

bust.... 2 o'clock, 150 yds. PJ motors the boat into perfect range as
you are stripping line off the reel preparing for the encounter. You
repeatedly false cast as you attempt to load the kpos for presentation
of the fly to those rocket denizens of the deep. the fish are gone, the
fly is still in the air. houston, we have a problem.

a few hours later, with many frustrating replays of scene 1 in the book,
a bust occurs real close to the boat and a relatively successful cast
results in a hookup of about a 15 pounder. the denizen decides to depart
for jamaica and the kpos reel is torqued out at full drag setting.

can you smell that smell? ... it surrounds you..... wow, that reel looks
like a spacecraft on reentry,,, it's glowing! houston, we have a problem.

the reel freezes on meltdown and now the fight is transferred to the
rod. the dastardly denizen ain't happy with just a 200 yard run in less
than a minute and is determined for another run. the rod is bending.
bust! where?... yells PJ. houston, we have a problem.

seriously jeff, would you hunt a deer with a bb gun?

now i say/imagery all this with prejudicial humor. the cabellies gear
may perform good (8wt is too small).... i don't know. what i do know is
that i will have what i consider to be the right equipment when fishing
to those devils. a super strong rod and a super strong reel. sage xi2
and a tibor riptide... in 10 wt class. i know they perform.

merry christmas my friend.... i hope to spend many days this coming year
chasin' albies with ya....

wally, been practicin' my double haul.....

You remind me of a steelhead I hooked last year. It was extremely hot -
about a 10 pounder. I had a Fin Nor anti-reverse that I had recently
bought. Very pretty and tightly machined reel, but the cork drag pad
was a bit dry. That fish literally smoked my reel. I smelled something
burning, then the reel made a chattering sound and smoke came out. i
had to stick the reel in the stream to prevent a meltdown. All to the
amusement of those all around me. I got rid of that reel last winter!
No more anti reverses for me!
