I need stiches!
...and a spell checker in the thread title bar!
Because the bait monkey is all over me and clawing the crap out of me to get this reel. I found a website for a place right down the road from the shipyard that has the Shimano Speedmaster. The reel is around 300 and up in the states anywhere I look. It is on sale for 225 over here. Flea told me the other day she paid off my credit card and left specific directions that if she saw another charge at a bait shop, she would pull the monkey's leg off and beat me with it. I am out of fingernails...tis better to ask for forgiveness than permission as I always say. I will keep you posted.

You see Bubba. This is where you need to get technical. Did she specifically say bait shop? If not you could claim it was a tackle store

It might be a blessing in disguise, at least for now. The lady that runs the shop got back in touch with me and said they were out of Speedmasters and Scorpions. But she told me to contact her as soon as I got back over here in the end of January. Better luck next month.

Bubba, Would you mind picking me up a calcutta conquest and include an invoice for attic repairs when you send the reel. I think I can slide that one through and send you a check.
You are a brave soul, I get firm reminders every day that if I buy any more fishing tackle of any kind PERIOD that my life will change. Good luck and Go for it, I would if |

I started using quantum this year. It seems to me that their reels are super smooth, from low end to high. |

Hey Bubba, here is an idea that just might work for you. Treat it like they do in politics. Start a petition of signitures from all the members in here who blieve you should spend the dollars on the new reel. Surely if you have enough political backing she'll conceed.

Way to come up with a solution instead of just pushing him to do it!
You get 2 extra monkey points. You're now only 1 away from being forced to buy a new rod/reel! BB

Hmmm, only 2gs to put on my crdit card. That is going in out of my comfort zone. I tend to stay in SR-71 mode. Doing something like that would throw me up on the radar like the Hindenburg. I always tell the truth, it is up to her to present the right question though.
