i mean... zebco makes van staal right?

not tryin to threadjack as i know nothing about conventionals.

its a thread about fishing reels, preferably for big cats

but whatever

zebco and van staal are more likely made by an even larger company

zebco has really turned to poo over the past 3 decades

i've got a couple of 33s from the 60s and 70s that are damn good

but you're looking for a conventional right?

i don't know shiat about conventionals, never used one in that size range. are you looking for a casting reel? you want something with mags? or just a level-wind boat reel?

i honestly don't think you can go wrong with either shimano or abu (or the higher end penns for that matter.)

zebco sucks, never used a quantum but i've heard they suck, VS doesn't suck but i'll never use one so i don't care...

/testing out a new penn sargus/tsunami airwave combo tonight.

i'm looking for a baitcaster that can cast and bring in a big cat without having to remove the level wind and using an 8 oz sinker

pretty good thread on the subject... relative to surf fishing and stripers but if it can handle that it can handle cats.

considering the 7000s aren't made in sweden anymore, i'm gonna have to pass on that thread :

i'm a member of a catfishing forum which is where i drummed up the 6000s and shimanos, but i wanted to ask some people on here that had hands on experience with them, preferably both and not just one or the other

i'm leaning towards a used 6500, but i don't think it can hold 250+ yards of the 60+lb braid i want to use

i've also never slung a baitcaster. but i hear they're not as difficult as the mouth breathers make them out to be.

people that are intimidated by learning a new skill seem to think they're difficult

something ripped my 7/0 circle hook out of the 30lb wire leader snap last night

blue cats taste good no matter how big they get, but i don't eat poo out of these rivers. i've quit going fishing with some people that talk about taking big cats home just to show them off. that's a good way to start a fight with me if you're gonna take a 30 lb fish home and throw it in the woods just because you want to show it off.

channels on the other hand are gross

haven't tried a flattie yet but i hear they're good too

i'll go jug mountain island once a year and take home some 10 or 15 lb blues, but anything bigger than that i'll turn back personally

we threw back a 28 lb blue three weeks ago

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
