    A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

    You just head on a big swell or what? I was in my buddies bass boat on the detroit river once and we tried to jump a swell from a frieghter. Didnt make it and it was like running into a brick wall.

    I have a few of them, they've been $30 to $50 as long as I can remember. Back when I was a kid, going from a Zebco to an Ugly Stik was like a right of passage.

    Not a recent purchase, but a barely used 1958 Shakespeakere, made right in Kzoo. Snatched it from a garage sale for $15 in the original box.

    I got a Perrin intake tube to replace the restrictive and turbulent stock unit

    Compared to stock (on left, obviously)



    Before



    After the install



    Obviously small compared to everyone else's stuff, but it should help get the most out of the tune in spring. I did originally want a regular black one but they were backordered so I just went with the blue. Looks kind of goofy but I'm not one to pop the hood anyway so as long as it works I'm good with it

    looks like some weight reduction as well, stock intakes now a days are crazy elaborate.

    That's really cool! Something to show off in the man cave.

    I'm half tempted to actually use it...the action is buttery smooth for being nearly 60 years old with probably the original lubrication. It's direct drive with no drag, just a brake. My "newer" Abu Garcia (20 years old) bait casters have the star drag and ati backlash. The anti backlash actually sucks, I like using it the old fashioned way. Set the break, lightly thumb the spool, and let her fly.
