There are many times when people ask things on here and then that’s it, you never know the outcome.
Last year I asked for opinions about a fishing reel size for a rod that I have, if you remember that.
Anyway I chose to get the 5000 size and it fits perfectly, balances the rod really well, I got kastking bait feeder because I’ve been wanting to try their stuff, I haven’t fished with it yet but casting it in the front yard I like it so far, we will see how it holds up.
For the buck tails, I haven’t tied any yet, like I planned to do over the winter, now it’s going to be spring soon, hmm
Well, as my wife says it takes me 5 years to do anything,
Tomorrow I plan to install a garbage disposal that we bought 3 or 4 years ago so I’m right on track with that.
At least I did “start “ organizing my lures today

We have addressed that before about what I call one hit wonders. I give them about 3 days and if they don't respond I unwatchable that post. I just replaced my garbage disposal last week. Peace of cake. Only took about 30 minutes. Good luck

But you replaced, I am installing for the first time, I have to do the wiring for the switch and I will have to lower the drain pipe in the wall about 2 or 3 inches, other than that it is the piece of cake that you said

That's a whole different ball game. T. New instalation takes a lot more thinking. I would think getting the power to the switch and down to the disposal is the biggest part. Like I said. Good luck. You got a job ahead of you.

YeH that's an easy one if you don't need to replace the flange in the sink.

And yes, therein lies the difference. Typically half a day or more and at least on trip to the hardware store.

I like them 👍🎣

Some people look down on them but I find in life that inexpensive doesn’t always mean bad,
I’ve got the spinning reel and one of the rover baitcaster

The unwanted trip to the hardware store for the one piece that you didn’t know you needed

My baitcaster is the White Max
It's very smooth $55
all 4 spinning are very smooth.

I'm not n elitist.
I buy what fits my budget n feels good in my hand.
I have a couple reels in $200 range which I got on sale for less.
I won't buy any more
Kastking has some high $ gear now.

Somethings I'll pay the price for buy I'm not brand loyal if I don't like what they're selling
👍

I got them on the Black Friday sale I think the rover was $30 and the sharky 3 bait feeder was $50
I have a couple of higher dollar bait casters as well and I like them very much but I also have some low dollar rods and reels combos such as a $40 spinning combo that I’ve had for about 6 years and I’ve caught more fish on that than any, I also have a $25 ultra light that I wouldn’t change a single thing about it,

Nothing like variety.
I was looking for a 5 1:1 baitcaster but was paying price at BPS.
Found kastking n figured why not.
After 2 years I got first spinning $20+
Later got 3 more $27 ea.
I looked at the rover a few times but really didn't need it 👍
