Rods / Re: One do it all casting ≈160
Last post by J.W. - Today at 09:59:38 AMQuote from: loomisguy on Today at 07:18:41 AMI think with the Edge Deltas on sale for $150 and free shipping they are hard to beat.
The 705 is a great all-purpose model to have. They list it as a light medium heavy but to me it fishes between the Loomis 843 and 844 power wise.
I don't own any Edge rods, but after building and fishing with the NFC Delta blanks, I can say they are an awesome blank for the money, so an Edge Delta would be a great choice in my opinion.

Ranger / Re: Electrical Headache
Last post by J.W. - Today at 09:56:57 AMThis kind of stuff is a headache, but it sounds like you need to check each circuit that you have coming off that battery. Get a meter and check continuity on everything.
Are all the fuses for the toggle switches popped?

Dock Talk / Re: UltimateBass Home Front Ac...
Last post by Bud Kennedy - Yesterday at 07:38:53 PMThe Harley Rally is now in the books. Today is the last day and the bikers are starting their trips home but quite a few remain and will likely leave on Monday. Memorial day is another motorcycle rally known as Black Bikek Week. The memorial day rally is only a weekend deal with most coming to the area on Wednesday and Thrusday and heading out the following Sunday. That will end the rallies until the fall rally in October that usually is not that well attended. Next big event here will be the Carolina Country Music Fair with a whole bunch of big names performing. This brings huge crowds and often sells out almost a year in advance. The event location is right at the beach in downtown Myrtle Beach.
Tomorrow the Ranger is coming home for a stem to stern clean up and a complete going over of all systems. We will get her all clean and pretty and then put out the for sale sign. I really hate to see it go be we are not using the boat and at our age a safety factor comes into play. Now I have to start thinking about what to do with all of my tackle that I have gathered over the past 40+ years. If I want to go fishing in the future it will be with a guide using their equipment so in reality I will no longer need this stuff. I had hoped to use the boat and equipment until I was 80 but some of my health issues indicate this is no longer a practical consideration.
The next 5 days are forecasted to be perfect weather to play on the boat and who knows, might even get one last ride before it is sold. Asking price will be $6500. for a 1991 Ranger 365V, 150hp fast strike on a custom aluminum trailer. Seems fair to me.
