Nice pics Dave
I'm glad I read this thread, I thought I had everything but forgot the license! Oops.
Thought I'd give ultralight tackle a try, local ponds and rivers, just to start.
Word of warning: I ordered a rod/reel combo from Cabela's, and it arrived taped to the outside of the rod tube?? Rod all banged up (thank you UPS) and they sent another...yup, taped to the outside of the rod tube again. No big deal with the lower end stuff I was buying, but for you guys who order the expensive stuff, something to consider..

I think you'll like the ultralight rods and reels, at least if your fishing is like ours here. I use an Ugly Stick with a Shimano Quick Cast II Reel and 4 or 6lb Stren line. The fish locally rarely max over 6lbs so the lite/ultralite set-ups make for a great set-up!!
I did see a combo set-up at Dick's (not a shimano reel though) at $25 or $30 line on ready to go.
Best of luck!!!
I happen to work for another reputable shipping company, and I just have to say. Its not the carriers fault about bad packaging. The problem lies with the shipper. And just a note....Your packages literaly go onto a 5 miles roller coaster of sorts with things pushing and pulling packages. So the shipper is supposed to make there package able to withstand that kind of abuse.
I do feel for your inconvience though, never nice to come home and see your package, then open it and be like WTF!
I have had to break through the skim ice getting out of the harbor.January fishing is at times the best with less wind than March and April.What water?
Curados....good taste my friend.Both boats (bassboat and Quabbin boat) are still snowed into the barn. Quabbin opens in about a month. Still have to reline the reels. I posted this mess last year, but it's the same chore (and only about half the collection).
