I hear ya, but you're not going to get a pair of name-brand glasses with progressives or bifocals for less than $700 any more- just check the Costa, Maui Jim, Wiley X... websites. For me, I love...

Optician dealers have options the web pages don't- another BBCer helped me with that.
Costa did not offer Sunrise lenses with Trivex lenses on the website, but a Costa authorized optician could...

I just went through this and spent a lot of $$ on progressive Costas with sunrise lenses. I'm not happy. I had prescription distance glasses (Ray-ban) that I liked before, but my prescription...

Don't get progressive lenses that fit snug to your face. Things only look clear when you look straight ahead. I'd get flatter based framed and a bifocal if I were buying again

I think they both perform similarly, but if you fish in cold weather the solid aluminum in the bantam is a lot colder

So sorry to hear Mike passed!! He was an icon on BFHP:praying:

Shimano offers 'C' series reels (Compact) that ups the spool size to the body. Example: A C3000 has a 3000 spool on a 2500 body.

Most of my favorite rods fall in the $250 range(+/- $50). In some cases I actually like the cheaper rods better (I liked my 7'4" HF St.Croix Victory so much I got the same model in the Legend...

There looks to be an astonishing number of boats with no co-angler...

Yellow rocket fuel on bearings. High quality bicycle chain oil (Finish Line) on level-wind gear and bar.

I don't think KVD will come back. He built his brand on integrity and winning, and I don't think he would want to tarnish that image. He absolutely is the GOAT, but times and technology have...

I've built rods for quite a few years, but always for a specific reason. If you can get what you want in a factory rod it's less trouble and definitely easier if you have warranty issues. However,...

I read the BPT announcement and it was very poorly communicated...

I read the announcement to say that all 50 guys will fish the first two days.

$130,000 for first and $2000 through 50th? If...

Happy Birthday!!!:newyear:

Dogfish Slightly Mighty is my go-to, then a local IPA...Fiddlehead, Levante, New Trail in the fridge now. Also enjoy a good porter and stout this time of year Cheers! :beers:

Does anyone have any experience with WileyX Bronze Captivate lenses? I am looking to purchase prescription sunglasses and am leaning towards WileyX for safety reasons (I don't want glass). I'm...

I fished some Opens pre-FFS and had some great experiences. I learned some things that still serve me well to this day and I made a couple friends along the way. I don't know that it would be the...

Hated seeing Charlie Hartley go...

Love hearing that!! :newyear:
Happy Birthday!!!

I have an Avid 68MXF spinning for wacky and shakey heads and love it. It has more power than your typical M and is great for skipping. My other spinning rods are Victories. The action and the...

Not the lids that leak. In my X18, I think most of the water backs up through the drains...

Asian portal has been great for me. Good prices and typically get delivery in 3-5 days- no charge.

Kuhl Renegade. Light, comfortable, lots of stretch, but not under $70....

Tough one...
To me there's a difference between technical difficulty and the sound I like to listen to....
That would Steve Howe and Steve Hackett
