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....

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! |

ROTFLMAO... I'd be passed out until next years plugfest!

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

The Maximizer - Part # 6127ZR. That's the kind of tackle trunk I've been looking for. Thanks for the info.  |

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
