Re: 225 Opti bondo job?

Get a second opinion. Bondo on the lower unit doesn't necessarily mean a substandard repair. Adequate cooling is the only thing I would really be worried about if it has been good to you! Bondo is the easiest way to cover up cosmetic damage and that may have been all that there was. Cosmetic damage.

Re: GIANT spinning reels...

Rod, you don't have to buy cause I'm not selling. Look at what Kevin VanDam uses when ripping with flourocarbon. Try it yourself. Put flourocarbon on your tiny reel and see what happens. How comfortable you are holding the rod is an issue. However, the issues I mentioned are more important to me. It...

Ryan I switched over to the Diawa Tierra for all my spinning stuff at that price point and haven't looked back. You can try out one of mine if you like and see how you like it. I own lots of Shimano just can't get a better reel for the money than the Tierra IMO. Drag is really good!

Max will spoil you. After fishing Max if you try to switch to other lines (6-8 lb) you will break off fish. I have tried all the expensive flouro lines and keep going back to Max for finesse fishing. It is tough stuff.
