  1. I have a Lamsom 5wt that I love.  I fish cheap 8wt reels for bass no problem, but I'm not stepping into saltwater with a cheap reel. Not even once.
    I'm also trying to fish a mono rig for trout so an upgraded 5 wt is inevitable but I like having cheap backups ready for friends on the Guad and mountain trips.
    Regarding rods. A guide I fish with often has a bunch of great set-ups for clients-Winston, Sage etc.  Banging banks all day I prefer my cheap ass TFO pro 3. I'm more consistent and accurate hitting 2' strike zones  for bass but also working dries with my 5 wt. The extra price point is wasted on me. I fish fast and hard though.
    What makes the most difference for me is line choice for the style of fishing I'm doing and building my own leaders.  Getting away from pre-made leaders has greatly increased my ability to turn over big flies, tuck cast nymphs smoothly,  hit tight targets, and fish dries with natural slack and gentle presentation. 
     
    I talked the fly shop owner into bringing 2 Scott 3wt rods into the shop for me to demo. He's also got a Winston 3wt in stock, so I can pick from those 3. I'm having him string up the Ross Colorado reel with the line I want and I'll cast all 3 and pick my favorite.

  2. Came here to post this. I almost pulled the trigger on the TRD to beat the tariffs (if any), but when I told the Lexus guy I was buying a 4Runner he got me a GX in two days. I love it. Amazing vehicle. 
    If I were shopping these days for a 4WD, the GX550 is hands down my favorite. Sharp looking vehicle.

    Apparently LeBron played with a sprained MCL in game 5.

    DDV racking up the body count. 

    I'm calling bullshit on that.  I've sprained my MCL.  You're not coming back in to play basketball after that happens. 

    He always releases some bullshit after he gets eliminated in the playoffs.  When the Nuggets swept them in 2023 he was talking about retirement in the locker room just to change the narrative about his team losing.

    yes, and I could give two fucks what you think of me. what is clearly not obvious to you is how much you are clowning yourself and looking whiney as hell. did you write this? so typical of an avs to whine about a win. lol

    I didn't say shit about last night's game until Stars fans came in here calling me out.  And I didn't complain about anything from last night.  Avs are the better team 5 on 5.  I'd prefer that there are no penalties.  But again, you do you.

    seriously, can you read? read the rule, and then read it again. maybe have someone read it to you. I clearly cannot understand this for you but it's important that you do eventually understand it. 

    So you're really gonna die on the hill that Benn's dive was a real penalty?  Lol

    Yes, that’s one that we are looking at. 

    There are youtube videos of everything out there.  I've watched a couple of the river cruise videos and they look interesting.  Biggest drawback is you're stuck on the boat with the same 40-60 people the whole time.  If they suck you're gonna have a bad time.  And median age on those things appears to be about 75.

    Um, excuse me SIR, but that shit was in the service of its owner.

    It's a very large store. It's like dropping bread crumbs to find her way back out.

    Plus she's clearly blind, deaf and dumb. Some empathy please.

    I would have started yelling at her to come pick up her dog's shit, and followed her until she either did it or left the store.

    jfc, just because it wasn't an injury doesn't mean it wasn't a penalty. bitch about it all you want, but you're wrong. stop being wrong

    The stick didn't even hit Benn in the face.  His arm hit it when he flailed and fell to the ice.  Keep being you, dude.

    I like how he slid all the way to the blue line and then sat on his knees for a few seconds checking for blood. That was a nice touch.

    What are you talking about?  There's a huge difference between Benn's acting job (where the stick didn't even hit him in the face) and Makar's from last night.

    "Makar does not dive."

    That's not a dive.  A dive is what Benn did in the clip I posted.

    except that is a legitimate high stick  - regardless if Benn embellished it or not. Manson was careless with his stick and took a penalty. there are other, better, examples of the point you're trying to make. they are all almost as equally weak, but they exist

    I love it!  I found the guy who thinks that's a legit penalty!

    Want to revisit, once again, "Makar doesn't dive" LOL  

     

    Lol. That's nowhere near the level of the shit Benn and Marchment have been doing this series. One is selling a call (which everyone in the league does) and the other is creating a call where there is nothing.

    Didn’t have as much confidence coming into the series against the Clips for obvious reasons and maybe one not so obvious one: Zubac plays Jokic better than anyone in the NBA. Thrilled to see aside from game 3 that we’re playing reasonably well with a Jokic more kept in check than we’re used to. At 3-2, life is good.

    The bigger issue with Zu is that he actually has an offensive game now.  He used to be really defensively focused.  He's a damn good player.
