Tested, tuned and ready for battle...
 

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....

continued:

working the kinks out of a stiff shoulder,and working on my retrieve

continued:

an orange surfster creeps along the bank... Oh and reserves in case I should run out of new plugs!

That is an insane amount of testing.

We missed a party
 

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!

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!

ready for Battle

Rockfish9 - Do those boxes and insert your using have a brand name? Where would one find boxes like those?

With this new addiction I have I now need a tackle box and a plug trunk!

Your a NUT Joe.......:claps::gu:

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..

that makes perfect sense
 

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:

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
