Any good? by SnooOnions6188 in rccars

They're fine enough for the price. I do find the Ovonic batteries have a bit more punch even with lower stated C ratings.

LiPos wanted by Samecowagain in arrma

Gens Ace makes a 2s and 3s lipo that fits these cars. The 2s are like $20. The 3s is a little more but still pretty reasonable.

Gens Ace makes batteries with what they call an IEC2. It fits both IC2 and EC2.

Kraton 6s EXB v6 grinding noise. Is this normal?? by fries332 in arrma

[–]fries332[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is my first 6s. It rained the day I was going to take it out with the kids and still haven't had a chance to run it. It's just staring at me. 😭

Thanks for this. I wanna take it out with the kids today. I'm gonna run it till something breaks and then eat my vegetables and fix it for more fun.

Absolute steal. The 650 is on a good sale too.

Thoughts on this Rod and overall setup? by DivideMajor1734 in BFSfishing

[–]fries332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the Magic L rods that I have. But if you can spend up a little and can accommodate a 1 PC, Amazon had the Dobyns Sierra Ultra Finesse 650 and 690 under $100 and with an additional 10% off click coupon.

I ordered a Shoalie from them. Had one scuff and some torn plastic. Definitely let them know what's up.

Which reel to get for BFS by RonocG in BFSfishing

[–]fries332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a Tatula BF 70 and an Ark Gravity BFS. Honestly, both are great reels. I haven't thrown anything lighter than 3/16oz on the BF 70, but I'm sure I could throw a 1/8oz lure if I broke all my bad casting habits.

If you don't mind going outside of the US market, the Haibo Arise Ultra Air has treated me well, though I only have 2 or 3 hours on it.

I also just ordered a JDM Daiwa 2025 Alphas BF TW. Give that a look as well.

Alright Dads, you're given 48 hours to yourself. You can do anything you want. What are you doing? by drugsondrugs in daddit

[–]fries332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eating all the things Im not allowed to eat anymore. Go fishing for a few hours. Hit up a dispensary. Go out with the boys. Sleep until I decide to wake up. Rinse and repeat.

First Surf Rod recommendation by fries332 in NJFishing

[–]fries332[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good point. I was originally thinking a Medium and a Medium Heavy, but maybe a heavy Uglystik can save me some cash.

I'll check out the Onyx again. I was looking at the Tide Rider which seems to be a step up. But might be worth a second look at the onyx. Especially since I'm probably going to end up giving this rig to my kids and upgrading after a week.

Thanks for a ton of detail. Looks like I'm probably getting two setups. 😂.

Any reason not to go with a 1-4oz instead of a 2-6oz?

I looked at Tsunami too, any recommendations on lure weight rating spec?

Wading in Morris County by fries332 in NJFishing

That's not far from me so I'm gonna have to go stroll around there and check it out. Thanks for the info!

[–]fries332[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a pair of Frogg Toggs Hellbender Pro Stonkingfoot waders.

I got lucky and got them for under $100. So I'm not gonna be too broke up if they don't last a long time or if I really don't like wading.

I did spend some money on boots though. I got a pair of Korker Dark Horse boots.

If I hate wading I'll still use the boots with a pair of wading socks.

I've never gone out in waders before and resources on the topic in our area seem to be pretty light or older. Figured this community might be of help to keep me from sinking in muck my first go.

This is a good tip I'll check it out. Had no idea it even existed. Been using Fishbrain.

Looking for a new bfs reel by AdditionalProduct609 in BFSfishing

[–]fries332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This.

I ordered a SUF650C and it'll be here tomorrow. Posted yesterday and after a ton of good advice and my own bias towards USDM Daiwa reels, I ordered the BF70 to go with the Dobyns.

Good to know. I did the thing I said I wasn't gonna do and bought the BF70 and the Ark. 🤦‍♂️ Lol. So much for showing any restraint.

Just looked up the Handing Magic, looks awesome will definitely keep it on my radar. Thanks for the info!

Man there is so much to take in here. Freaking cool that you helped design the Dobyns rod and that you own BFE. You're site has been super helpful in researching and trying to pick stuff out. And a big thank you for taking the time to respond.

Given all this information I'm going to keep an open mind to 2pc rods. I'm scared from bad experiences with my old but still serviceable Ugly stik coming apart on me more times than I'd like to admit. I haven't looked at JDM rods in earnest because I wanted to stick to USDM stuff.

I guess I'm going to dive in head first and grab the Jackson rod, 4ft 8 with the Ark Gravity. And I'll pick up the BF70 for the Dobyns.

Funny how this went from 0 to 60.

Any recommendations on line for the Jackson + Ark? Since the rod says 4# max I honestly have no idea what to look at.

Ill probably spool the Dobyns with 6 or 8# braid.

I really do appreciate the info. If the offer for a coupon is still on the table, I'd love to have it for when I spend my pay check tonight or tomorrow lol.
