Title: 3 Red Rockets!
Post by: Darin Crofton on March 12, 2020, 08:16:58 PM
I couldn't resist buying the amazing 114HN from Sal and holy cow is it awesome!
The 4/0 Magnum is from Randy, and Chad tricked it out for me.
The 99 JM I built with plates from Nelz, 99 kit from Randy and all the goodies inside we've grown to love!
I hope you enjoy today's episode of reel porn, thanks for looking . . . Darin

Those are straight fire!
The only better picture would be them on rods hanging off the back of the boat, or with catch

Thank you, waiting on the state to let me go again, had a long range tripped planned on my boat and the Governor shut us down.

Hey Darin, can you post a pic of the gear housing bulge that protrudes below the seat so we all know how to spot a magnum. A lot of times sellers on eBay are clueless
