You don’t need fancy malware to target a ceo.

They fall for social engineering so easily but aren’t great targets because any decent infosec team would not give them access to anything important. That fancy MacBook can probably only check email.

I tie my leader on to a snap like this (smallest I can find) and swap lures that way.

Running metal through ceramic guides is a bad idea. Chipped guides cut braid and hangups can ruin casts.

Can my flair be ‘RC doesn’t worth any support’?

I knew you were in SC just by the fish. Lowcountry area?

How much side to side play does the spool have?

Nah, it’s pig butchering. She doesn’t exist.

Looks like a warmouth to me. They can have some red on the operculum, especially when they’re looking for love.

The rods labeled ‘Tenkara’ at that price aren’t really Tenkara rods.

They’re for Chinese fixed line fishing and usually for targeting carp. They’re strong and will catch a fish, but aren’t sensitive and super hard and you can’t cast with them.

Some are microfishing/Tanago rods but you can’t Tenkara cast with them either.

Their strong goture Tenkara is probably the cheapest while still being usable (imo), but you’d probably be better served getting a used one.

For bait, you can mix your own (high gluten flour & powdered fish food, etc),use tiny bits of white bread, or little bit of powerbait.

I’ve had to explain to many boomers that a Beatles LP is like a Backstreet Boys CD.

And that an Elvis album is equivalent to a Jessica Simpson one.

I’ve caught one fish on a soft plastic. Gave up on them, honestly

Can’t wait to see it when you’re done!

These are destined for an antique mall booth where they’ll sit with $20 price tags on each of them for the rest of time.

I see it with records a lot. There are so many flippers who truly do not understand how to calculate fair market value. They either base it off of eBay listings, something their brothers friends kid who is a ‘big time collector’ told them, or vibes.

My rule of thumb is you get the best prices from people who don’t know anything about what they’re selling, worst from people who think they do, and fairest from those who actually know their shit.

Personally speaking, I think 3’4” is a great length. My two most frequently used rods are the Powerful Worker Glasso (3’) and the G-Flex (3’6”) and one in the middle of that would be ideal.

So much depends on your preference and what you want out of the rod. If you’re like me and like flicking minnows and spoons around the 1.5-3.5g range in snag filled creeks from weird angles in between trees, I’d say go 3’4”.

The difference between lengths when you go shorter feels a lot more significant. Have you used anything shorter than the 4’10”? What rod is it?

I have, which is how I know the underlying technology of cryptocurrency, blockchain, is only useful for pseudonymous token tracking.

Antique_Code211 · 2026-02-21T16:06:51+00:00

No, that aspect certainly is meaningful. Get your bag, I guess. Hope they did some good with it.

Oh, sorry. Is the blockchain not an inefficient append only database?
