    Hilariously overpriced used item listings around the internet

    Hands down, I've got to agree it's the used boat market and it's been that way for as long as I can remember. I sometimes wonder just how upside down these boaters are in their loans. Or if they really think that their choice of aftermarket accessories carries any value to a prospective buyer...

    Sage XP 590 vs All

    I have a Sage 590/4 XP, it's a very nice versitile rod that at one time was my favortie. It can do the jobs that you'd expect a rod of its stature in the Sage line up of its day (in this weight and length configuration) to do, with ease. Mine probably hasn't seen the light of day for ten or more...

    NFR $$ Haircuts $$

    Add me to the list of guys who've had their wives cut their hair since covid. Since she's only got the one customer; she's perfected my cut to the point where I doubt I'd have anyone else do it. We live out of town, so pre-covid I was going to a small shop with three chairs within the lodge of a...

    SFR Major Rant STOP IT! It stops NOW!

    Mods on offroad vehicles don't bother me, but who started the whole duck thing? I went into town last week to get some groceries, when I come out my Wranglers been ducked again, this time the duck included a "you've been ducked" greeting card, the duckers name and an invitation to register the...

    Why in the world does WA still have paper-only fishing licenses?

    Then there are old guys like me who still like their paper licenses - just finished a twelve day trip without a phone, I don't carry one anywhere. Grew up in a more self-reliant time when everyday living didn't require a tether to the world. 🤔

    Music on the water

    I haven't read all four pages of responses, so for what it's worth. In my float tubes and boat I have either a horn or whistle to signal distress or gain the attention of a craft arrantly of course. Anything that would cancel out my ability to detect another vessel (even at great distance)...

    NFR *%!@ing moles!

    With Moles I've had success with this style of trap. Mine came from the late great OSH but I see the Wallyword and Amazonia carry them now. They are wicked to set, but effective. Wear a latex or similar glove to mask your odor, those little suckers navigate with their nostrils.

    NFR Let's talk about generators

    Wondering if anyone here has run into HOA's or municipalities that prohibit them, unless one can provide proof from a physician of continuous medical need? Or the decibel (dB) levels a generator, if approved, must meet?

    NFR Truck tires?

    I run the same Firestone Destination series of tires on my Wrangler as Tim L does on his Xterra, though mine are the Firestone Destination A/T 2. Because of where I live and what I drive on often, stone rejectors play a role in tire life longevity. What I've found with these tires is improved on...

    Sage is no longer on my radar

    I would agree with the statement that Sage is no longer on my radar. My oldest Sage rod is a G I from the eighties. I look at this way, Steve Rajeff is a masterful rod designer, but I always felt that it was Gary Loomis that kept Loomis' final runs grounded. So too I felt that when the old...
