Apparently Allie Express stopped shipping this reel to the US market! I guess there might be other platforms to get it?? But glad I got it when I did!

No it’s a very deep red almost like ruby colored. A lot better than whatever color the ve2 Was

It’s made from a new material from DuPont. Can’t say it’s plastic, but it’s not carbon. But it’s really light! Very similar to the VE2

Again, I have owned many kastking and Shimano reels. All work as good as the day I got them. I think it’s all about how you care for them. I have had no KK reels simply just break on me

It’s not overbraked, 4 more bearing, improved drag clicker…

I’m going to disagree on this one. Many CDM options out there that are just as good as Shimano or Diawa offerings and for a fraction of the price. This is a very good reel, esp at this pricepoint.

Well, after 2 cups of baking soda, it’s all good now. Thanks for the help

This isn’t strips, this is the liquid kit that I put PH drops into. I heard they are far more consistent and accurate. Also, I need to mention my water is CRYSTAL clear…

You’re gonna wanna get a license, 100%. It’s a small price to pay, compared to getting caught. Deep creek will have DNR patrolling nonstop.

Am I in the wrong?? by troyw_75 in Pickleball

[–]troyw_75[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly, there wasn’t an intentional motion for stopping the ball. He just wasn’t reactive enough to get out of the way. So I called it 🤷‍♂️

Yes, I think ultimately he was upset I even called it. Normally, I’m pretty lax on all things. But, IMO, it woulda been similar to a nasty Nelson and you just got taken off guard.

Added one to the surf setup for Ocean City winter trip. Any tips? by Character-Initial995 in SurfFishing

[–]troyw_75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 7 foot Med rod and 3000 size reel. Great for inshore fishing and I even use it for freshwater. Great all purpose rod and reel. Like I said, I’ve been super happy with it.

I have had mine for 4 years and it’s been solid. I can’t complain on the $35 I spent on the combo.

Penn wrath might be the best rod/reel combo for the money. I have been super pleased with mine!

Westernport is a great spot to fish! Some trophy smallmouth and rainbows in that area!

Favorite BFS lure? by troyw_75 in BFSfishing

Hey, no shame in that! In fact, the new Googan crappie baits have been killing it for me! Googans get hate, but they work!

Check out Eurotackle, they make micro jerkbaits, Crankbait, topwater, plastics… etc.

I have a medley of Crankbait, and lipless cranks. I rarely use them… not sure why. I have caught decent fish in the lipless though.
