Well I'm safe for a couple more weeks then.  lo Most of my tax refund is going towards our back property tax and then on some new furniture that Diana wants to get I might be able to get a couple of hundred to spend on fishing stuff which I will more than likely save for a NAFC 10 year reunion up in La Cross Wisc at the end of Aug.

Maybe he will get lost before he gets to my house.  ;D

the damn monkey knows how to use GPS!!

My Doc Irv order came in today and they look great. My picture taking skills on the other hand...  :(
These are Sapphire Blue and are much brighter than the picture indicates. I asked for a match to the Zoom Sapphire Blue and Doc did a excellent job. Thanks

And today my Dobyns 784C ML came in that I bought from caddyjoe77. It even came with complimentary BassPro rod sock and a red spinning rod Stick Jacket both on the rod.  :) Thank you sir. The Stick Jacket rod sock worked perfectly on my Dobyns Fury FR 703C SF.

Here she is with a brand new Lew's Tournament Pro G Speed Spool 8.3:1 TPG1XH I showed a page back or so in this thread. Its spooled up with Suffix 832 in Camo so the fish wont see it and run off scared as a little baby.  ::) I actually like the looks of the line but I don't think it is superior to Power Pro and it costs more. I just got this spool as a Christmas present.



And don't be getting any ideas about what I am catching them on that is a dummy bait I swear. ;)

That actually all matches pretty well. Reel, rod, line, bait are just complimentary to each other.

Yeah if you click on the pic of the reel shot from behind where it blows the pic up its like that line was made for that rod. The gold on the reel and even the carbon handle seem to blend in well also. I was really surprised with the looks of it. If the fishing part goes as good as it looks Ill be ripping 23" and 24" bass out every day.  ~roflmao

One of these is on the way to me. Gonna see how it does for a punching reel. Stout drag and brass gears, along with a profile the size of a 50E Shimano makes it a nice option to try out. And, as if I need to say, I got a really good deal to give it a shot in the arsenal.

Made an offer on something off ebay. If it gets accepted, Ill be getting that instead of the new Bantam MGL. This is a solid reel from the past, that is brand new in box. It will probably last longer than any new Shimano anyways. Lol
