i've decided between the pflueger president or the new abu garcia cardinal... any suggestions?? i liked the president although it was a little more money. also, would i want to go with the 12lb/175 yards or the 10lb/120 yards??
and no one suggested any rods to go with that, any suggestions on that ?? thanks for the help guys

the suggestions could be many on this subject....but when it all boils down to the nitty gritty....what do you want to spend to begin with?.....just remember though..."you get what you pay for".......

Johnny,Buy the one that you like best.Don't over look the Medalist reel by Pflueger, DodgeGuy uses them and he swears by them , not at them. Are you fluent in Italian ?Thats is a cool signature, but I doubt most people know what it means.I personally have been sleeping all winter waiting for the chance to go. Here is one for you. A saper aspettare c'e' tutto da guadagnare. P N J

pnj,
Does that equate to To know to wait for there is all to earn. You're using CUE cards, arent' u? cheater! No, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Nah - strike that. No, but I love my new GWB teleprompter - it makes me say really idiotic things. No - that's not quite right either... I'm too tired: Ummm - I'll let you know what I use tomorrow. The short bus picks me up at 10. Uh oh, fifteen minutes to Judge Wapner. Gotta run. Last edited by JB; 03-28-06 at 07:08 AM. |

JB, I was stationed in Italy for a few years. The post where I said I spent evenings with a Italian girl, I meant it as in Vicenza,Italy, not a Italian decedant american girl.I was Army airborne, got to spend some time in Italy.Johnny's signature Chi dorme non piglia pesci.
means those who sleep don't catch any fish. A saper aspettare c'e' tutto da guadagnare means there is everything to gain for those who know how to wait. Cambiano I suonatori ma la musica e' sempre quella which you may very well know is the melody changes, but the song remains the same.Its all useless information, I learned Spanish, while in Panama for 2 1/2 years, but again its useless, the spanish language varies alot depending on where your at.I would like a dollar for every time I said uno cerveza por' favor. This helps too. http://www.ask.com/web?o=0&qsrc=6&q=...ian+Translator Last edited by pig n jig; 03-28-06 at 05:28 PM. |

I am a big Abu Garcia fan. Over the years I've used almost every brand reel and Abu Garcia seems to be the longest lasting.

i basicly ingored all the spanish class i took in high school. actually learn mexican spanish on the job..pnj is right not all spanish is the same. 90% of your spanish books are wrighten with porta recio or spain, spanish verisons kinda like king english.. mexican spanish is more main line spanish.. cubans and brazilian spanish is very diffacult to understand even for spanish speaking mexicans it is very rudamentary the guys i work with call it jail spanish-a kind of pig latain so to speak..
