them's nice reels, so is that power pro.

That is one sweet reel.

I never did get a chance to do much fishing this summer, so that Alvey rod I got from you has not gotten much use. I did get to use it to impress some people at the reservoir with some 300 foot casts.

calavera,

Those Alveys do cast a MILE!!!

I ought to stroll down tho the lake with this setup and see what the perch fisherman have to say!

Andy, is that the 2-speed or just lever drag. I'm currently debating to go Avet or Okuma. When you get a chance to fish it please post comments on it's performance.

Thanks,

Doug

outta my league

punk,

Its a 2-speed lever drag.

Avet makes some awesome reel as does PENN and Shimano.

It came down between this reel or a TLD30; I picked this because I prefer metal reels.

I hope to fish it this Spring, but I don't expect that I'll really be able to put it through the wringer......it would take a good tuna trip for that.

not true Bassdude.

I don't have my own boat, so I compensate by buying big shiny reels.

Oh . . . I thought he was realizing that often comparison of Bass Fish to Bait Fish . . .

Its not the size of the fish, its how much money you spend to catch them.

Just can't get into fresh water fishing . . . it ain't the same . . .

Not counting fishing as a child, but gave it up (freshwater fishing) when I reached late teens . . . fast fwd to my early 30's and I spent several years offshore in South Florida, The Keys and The Bahamas . . . and There Ain't No Comparison . . .

I would love to chase Marlin off of Venuzuala, Cabo and Hawaii, too . . . (sigh)

Its my dream to chase big Marlin. I would like to catch giant bluefins too, but I don't like to be cold.

I have been to Bimini Several Times . . . there is a bar on that tiny island that is covered from ceiling to floor, and wall to wall with pictures of Hemingway and his fishing exploits in the Bahamas . . . Some of the Most Extrodinary Pictures I Have Ever Seen of Fishing, were from that bar . . . Pictures of Papa, standing under 10, Two Thousand Pound Tunas . . .

The Most Incredible Picture I Have Burned in My Memory, is That of Hemingway, Standing Underneath the Head of a Tuna that Was Bitten Off at Mid-Body . . . The Head Weighed EIGHT HUNDRED POUNDS . . .

Imagine the Size of That Shark ?!?!?!?!?!?!?

and Papa standing there, smiling underneath a half-eaten fish . . .
