View Full Version : Tested, tuned and ready for battle...
Rockfish9 04-04-2008, 09:23 AM a week ago I took advantage of one of the warmer days and loaded two boxes of plugs, 135 in all and headed to the salt, It took 5 hours, a six pack of beer, help of a friend and ALOT of casts, but I got through it all., I'm happy with their action and they have been tuned to the salt,. these soldiers of the winter hopefully will earn their place amongst the seasond warriors of the summer....

Striperknight 04-04-2008, 10:12 AM That is an insane amount of testing.
Swimmer 04-04-2008, 10:52 AM How come you didn't post your plans. I bet we could have rounded up an audience an had a party. How good were you casting after the 6th beer?

5 hours, two guys, 6 beers.. no problem, in fact, I dumped the last bottle when it was still half full.....it was so frikin cold ,I stopped by double D's for something hot for the ride home! I could cast that thing in my sleep..by summers end lack of sleep has me more impaired than a case of beer could!
outnumbered 04-04-2008, 12:26 PM Nice Rockfish, they need to get you on a plug tossin' count this early in the season, you don't want to get sore trossin' arms and be out in September, like some of MLB pitchers.

LMAO... I hear ya, difference between me and them is a whole lot of coin..... and a few years... I've got to make the best of the moment, if I go on the 60 day DL.. the season over!... never know what "next year" might bring....I hit the gym 5 mornings a week all winter, just to keep the joints working and the heart pumping... I'll still be casting 5 nights a week in October...long after most of the MLB pitchers are playing their first round of golf!

Those boxes are sweet,,,,
Leave it to RF9 to not only find or make something that looks good but no matter what it is, it's always Incredibly functional as well,,,,,

Why thats the nicest thing anyone has said to me today!:rotflmao:
The boxes are made by a company called Flambeau... if it's OK with John, I can provide a Link to their site.. they have alot of storage solutions..
Raven 04-07-2008, 09:51 AM Because i have discovered that JOE is a Flamboyant kind of Guy
and by this i mean... in definition to be
marked by or given to strikingly elaborate or colorful display
ain't that the truth :uhuh:

The Maximizer - Part # 6127ZR. That's the kind of tackle trunk I've been looking for. Thanks for the info.:kewl:
The Dad Fisherman 04-07-2008, 11:57 AM Plano also offers a box for plug storage that is similar....I have both but I do prefer the Maximizer, just seems a little more durable
