<p>As for reels, I have a bunch of Core's and they have been bullet proof. I'm currently trying out some of the Metaniums and like Berto said "they don't get much better". I also prefer the Chronarch C14+ over the Curado I series, I don't like the way that the new Curado feels in my hand and the thumb bar sits a little to high on the reel for my liking.</p>

<p>A great day it is. Living 25 miles from the Canadian border on I-5 made the commute home today enjoyable. I witnessed moving vans, rental trucks, and crap strapped to the top of VW's all racing towards the border. If I'm not mistaken, a bus full of LGBTQ was leading the pack flying a Canadian flag, smoking the herb of life and chanting "OH CANADA". <br></br> <br></br> <cite>Josh Potter said:…</cite></p>
