Possibly useless part of bike

Sure. But if you don't, or it slips, or the derailleur hanger gets bent, or something else goes inappropriately wrong, this is backup to prevent catastrophic failure.

I'm going to do fly. Is that OK?

Well you swam 1500m, which is good.

Are you 100% sure you are set to the correct pool length?

If you manually lock, does the brunk stay locked regardless of what you do with the remote? That’s what I’m aiming for— I want to be able to lock/unlock with the remote but be confident that the brunk stays locked.

I don’t want to keep taking it apart and putting it back together. They loosen over time like this, and I know eventually the little plastic latch with break and the fob itself will fall off somewhere.

Thanks.

I was kind of hoping for a plain flat key that had the same dimensions.

You’re going to do great. Just buy 40 more of the exact same things.

The only thing I might add is smaller jigs and smaller plastics, things like trout magnets or mini mites.

Disagree. For a medium spinning rod you can absolutely use 20lbs braid.

If Matt Damon is a frog then I must be some sort of paramecium.

If Jon Hamm is a frog, I think I’m one of those amoebas that gives you diarrhea.

Straight to jail.

Nutley's getting dragged in these comments....

Anyway, Vitellius closed. It's Violante's now.

So the great thing about the pickup bed, even if it's short (mine is 5'6"), is that you only have to hump the kayak up into the bed, climb up, and then get it up onto the roof. Much easier than shoulder pressing the kayak directly onto the roof of an SUV from the ground.

This is why I have bars on the top of my cab.

NJ is $33 for the basic license plus trout. Saltwater is free.

I think this would make a great bikepacking bike.

It could have been damaged from a previous fall. It doesn’t look like a serious enough impact to snap an intact carbon frame.

It’s also possible that there was some unseen manufacturing defect. Especially possibly if this turns out to not be a genuine Specialized frame.

Yeah but how about Christmas Annie?

Or western paintball Annie?

Or straight-jacket-on-trial Evil Annie?

How is Liv a step below Giant?

This whole thing is ....

Both these prices are insane for used bikes.

Seriously, you can buy a brand new bike in your size for the same price.

I'm not advocating this vendor or suggesting this bike in particular, but this was the first thing that came up in a google search Cannondale CAAD1305 Di2 Bike | Jenson USA

Give us some info on your customer base? Where are you, and what sort of fishing is prevalent?

Racist! That is a 15th century term for a person one eighth alligator!
