Just closed a great deal on a brand new pair of Pacific Bay short bent butts for my marlin 50 lb setups (thanks to peterblace!). Can fight stand up or chair.... long wait till summer!

Eish John. Lots of deals you been making recently.

have you serviced that reel yet

John F · « **Reply #1066 on:** June 22, 2016, 07:43:59 PM »

Winter is the best time for great deals

Reel has been serviced... bit of corrosion but overall in great shape. Will need to change the drag washers soon, but for now it will work just fine. Spooled with 80 lb mono backing and 300 lb mono leader for the teasers. Attached it to the teaser boom and it is ready to rock & roll!

The bent butts belonged to a fellow member of our club here in Maputo.

However, I was quoted R990 a piece by Solly's Nelspruit a couple of weeks ago. Maybe they still have stock?!

I also thought it was a little one but Oh dear, just got a call from my professional therapist, the lures arrived and this is the OH DEAR, the bill for the 9 lures is R2500-00, that comes in @R277-00 each, damn our economy has gone for a ball........

It was so windy today, I got blown straight into a tackle store...

Poenskop · « **Reply #1078 on:** June 24, 2016, 12:28:20 PM »

I also got blown in there. Found two reels in my trolley by the time I realized where I was.

LGF · « **Reply #1079 on:** June 24, 2016, 10:54:05 PM »

Winds! First they blow us in there and then we (I for one) have to fight hard for them not to become "clumpy" the longer I stay in there and it gets worse when the basket changes to a trolley or the therapist asks if I need help carrying all the stuff?
