Re: DUI checkpoints and Tournaments
I thought the drinking starts after the tournament! Have there been any cases of fishermen getting caught drunk at the helm during a competition? I wouldn't think they'd want to risk getting both DQd' and a DUI. While out fun fishing might be a different story, but I haven't heard of that either. I ...

Re: Best price out there on Goodyear Marathon tires
Marathons have been good to me. Never a problem except for they were 6 1/2 years old and cracking from age. Tread was still very good. About a month or so ago, I bought a new set of 4 from a local garage/GoodYear dealer. $89 per tire. With all the fees, tax and balancing came out to around $460.

Spool up your spinning reels with braid and then use a few feet of fluoro (or mono) as a leader. Tie the two lines together with a surgeons knot. You won't be getting twist with braid.

Could your line been damaged from getting backlashes? Fluoro can easily get damaged from them...especially when working them out. Careful not to have the loops pinch hard or scrape around the main line.
