I should get the 20/0 by Saturday, I'll see what's going on then.


No matter what, it's always a good feeling when a monster blows up your reel ;D
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Nice work Benni.  Sal keep us informed as to what you find.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

I'm surprised you were able to tell those were on, after building some muscle on those monsters on your latest trip ;D.

The box is here, but I haven't opened it yet. My wife received it and she said the mailman wasn't happy carrying it ;D


Benni, did you ever check the box the last time I sent it to you? There is a stand and a full set of frame posts going back and forth ;D


I could feel it has zero drag , telling me the ears on the washers are gone. :-\

You wouldn't have been able to catch a minnow as it is now.

I will open it up later on.

I just have to say that I don't know if I have ever seen two more energetic happy guys fishing.  Reading your posts and seeing those smiling faces is some fine entertainment.
Keep up the good work and keep posting your adventures.
  I was reading Sals post on the shredded drag washers, and I was curious about what or how you managed to destroy them?  Then I put two and five together and Sals comment about not wanting to spoil your Luck, that's when I remembered your thread "Luck",  and well 90 minutes later and skipping pages by fives until I got up to page 63,  well I knew it would be near the last posts you made but I didn't want to just skip over everything so I went by 5s, and read the page, etcetera until I got here!  Man oh man I've watched videos of those Goliath groupers yank people right out of their shoes.  Do you know what your drag pressure was?  Broke two rod holders and shredded the drags.  Best torture test I have read.
