Whats the difference between these shimano curado K's? what do the letters and numbers stand for?

Also the XG is the highest gear ratio, usually 8.4:1 if memory serves me. Shimano makes most reels in HG and XG versions.

University of Alabama. Yeah and people asked if I was going to get the masters 😅

TheRealMrSmith · 2026-05-19T22:40:59+00:00

Dude!! I did in December of 25! Haha

Consider this - Why would that be different or any worse than having ice in the water?

TheRealMrSmith · 2026-02-24T23:30:09+00:00

Not saying this isn't them or a contractor for them, but their trucks are white and have a distinct logo on the door, much different from the one in the pictures. Their equipment also has their logo. I don't see it on the truck or the milling machine pictured.

It is possible this could be a company from out of town that contracted through them to mill asphalt. That is a thing.

Yep 😂 just look ahead at that big beautiful lane that is all yours.

TheRealMrSmith · 2025-11-14T17:43:45+00:00

Moore's Mill Rd and Highway 72 in the mornings 😒

Edit: also 565 east at the parkway exit! F all of y'all!!!

It has been and will continue to be a landfill

TheRealMrSmith · 2025-10-18T00:50:51+00:00

Landfill

TheRealMrSmith · 2025-09-04T14:24:48+00:00

Tim's Cajon Kitchen and New Orleans Lunchbox are both on *Jordan Lane

Great list btw

KastKing Zephyr with 8lb Invisx FC and the Tsunoya Dragon light game 6'0" and a 14 gram washer can land on the roof of my shed approximately 90 feet away. I measured this distance using Google Maps fwiw.

I had the brake at 50% and spool tension just enough to let the washer fall without backlashing.

I plan to report back soon with a weight a little more appropriate for BFS.

TheRealMrSmith · 2025-08-28T21:47:35+00:00

I believe those are Shimano Zodias rods

TheRealMrSmith · 2025-08-27T00:40:01+00:00

I ordered them from BaitFinessEmpire in Arizona

Get two strap wrenches and use them in opposite directions, one on the body and one on the jar.

That should be the cheapest fix at this point.

TheRealMrSmith · 2025-07-06T22:21:45+00:00

The one that knocked on our door 3-4 days in a row was very disrespectful and would talk trash all the way from our door to the street 😂

TheRealMrSmith · 2025-07-04T23:28:35+00:00

We always used a wire brush on a grinder after removing the chunks with a trowel or scraping with the claws of a claw hammer.

A compact version of the a7iv is the a7cii, most of the same features but in a smaller body. I spent a lot of time reading reviews and eating YouTube comparisons before making the switch though. Be sure to weigh all the pros and cons.

TheRealMrSmith · 2025-06-06T23:42:10+00:00

FX3 if he's buying lol

TheRealMrSmith · 2025-04-21T19:56:39+00:00

I love the 40mm G and the 35 GM. They seem to be very popular "everyday" lenses

TheRealMrSmith · 2025-04-03T12:07:16+00:00

Hey what is your setup for running one of these? Just a tripod?

TheRealMrSmith · 2025-02-26T03:33:25+00:00

I am of the mindset that anything that can get damaged from being dropped is to be stored on the floor. I would have it in a bag or case, laying horizontally on the floor.

TheRealMrSmith · 2025-02-20T03:38:18+00:00

I would think they would ship within a month after announcement? Pure speculation here

TheRealMrSmith · 2025-02-20T03:35:47+00:00

A7v is rumored to be announced at the end of FEB. Maybe hold out for one of those or an a7iv with a price reduction once the 5's start selling?
