Yea. I know what you're saying.
What about Navionics. Could I use that without getting the beat down from the forum. Or are the waypoints that automatically update on those everyday considered the same by you?
As for pride and self respect. Lol. It is why he and I are doing this. And not sitting behind a computer slinging turds. Like I said. We have talked and agreed to the rules. What I tell you doesn't mean [censored]. What you read and interpret as truth doesn't either. This one isn't your battle. Your opinion is noted. And, for the record, no waypoints on Lewisville lake will be used by either of us this weekend. So relax. And cheer for Okie. Please.
Feel better? I don't. He knows Lewisville like the back of his hand. I only know ex girlfriends that live there.

That's an interesting outcome to a thread about backing on a reel. I forgot what the pre-hijack subject matter was for a minute.
I like Steez. I too have made it a point to be confident, effective, and successful while also taking pains to be reasonable, dignified, and polite. No matter how polite one is, though, many people get their knickers in a knot and blow their tops when anyone presents himself as anything above a lowly wretch.
It's funny how threatened people become over nothing, allowing their insecurities to conspicuously intrude on an affair like a pot boiling over as they pepper the internet with ill-composed attempts to call out what they perceive to be intolerable arrogance. The world is becoming nuttier than a two ton pallet of Whitman's Samplers.
Good luck, Steez.

I agree, Doug. It is funny how people will do just that.

Hello all.
Sorry to derail the derail, just wanted to throw in my 2 regarding backing.
I worked on reels for 4 years and managed outbound reel repairs, and I would see at least one person a week that had braid spinning on their reel. Of course, they thought their drag was busted. They were always very relieved when I would pinch the spool down with my thumb and show them that it was just their braided line spinning on the spool.
Long story short, braided line will absolutely spin on a spool of you don't secure it well. I've seen it a thousand times. Either run your line through one of the small holes on the spool, or use a little piece of tape to hold the braid down.

I've also seen people try to tighten braid down too hard on a spool designed for normal weight fishing. So tight it actually deformed the spool and ruined it. They are very thin aluminum and some of razor thin titanium. Strong enough to to wind a fishing line to them. Not strong enough to support 65 lbs of force trying to keep non stretching braid tight enough to not slip.
I apologize for the normal response to the original thread topic....for those that are watching the mud slinging. I'm sure some are waiting for more action. Lol

He knows he's going to use his buddies waypoints or he wouldn't have mentioned it. Now that it's bit him he's backtracking. Typical of people who talk a lot, before thinking. And he certainly likes to talk a lot.

Knowing Okie and as cheap as he is he probably is on a first name basis with all those 7 pounders he has been catching. I think he calls that big double digit "moneymaker" if I recall correctly. Good luck to you both.

Is the HydroWave allowed?  I hope they don't get a bunch of rules started and stay with a What You Brung format. Don't forget the cell phone photos. I hope they pick up on this and televise the weigh in.

This is a REALLY cool conversations gents. I love the competition, the confidence. Regardless of how it plays out, i would imagine that you guys will be able to grab a few beers together and laugh about it for years. Enjoyed reading it, as well as looking forward to hearing the "play by play" from the day!
