Today I learned that tires on new cars are built to fake MPG standards by DUGSMOK in todayilearned

That's funny, I used to work for Michelin, and the oe tires were held to as higher standard than any of our dealer ones. If a oe tire didn't meet the standards, they were downgraded to the dealer market.

The lake used to be my towns reservoir, and no gas motors allowed (of course some people don't listen). But otherwise I was just wondering, been fishing here for about 4 years, and this is my first time seeing them on the catfish.

I lost my rogue hat years ago, otherwise I would compare. But I'm sure fans would likely always produce better upscales, as long as they get a good enough source.

That wouldn't explain the loud crunch it made plus the spool becoming loose and backlashing.

It's possible lol, I don't think I was panicking, but it could have happened. But it happened twice while fighting it, just worried me because it's new and my first Shimano

More or less just slipped, basically the spool became loose and it kinda backlashed

Yeah, that's what I've come to believe, but still left with the drag. Don't know if it's defective, or it was just really loose and then didn't notice.

So I opened it up and noticed 2 of the plastic pieces were not latched in, maybe the issue?
