    Leisurely Sunday afternoon

    Sunday my son and I launched at Melkbos, just to get away from the heat. Well, the water was also warm, 20 degrees. But I put out the rappies anyway just to see what was around. Picked up this one snoek. What fun to watch your son bring in such a lovely fish.

    (old) Penn 67

    Penn Powerstick PPS 6002 TBMH

    I have a 6’ Penn Powerstick PPS 6002 TBMH that I bought 2nd hand. It seems the 50 lb. braid have cut a groove into one of the eyes that then cut the braid. Is it worth to have the eyes replaced or is it a question of it would be cheaper to throw away and buy new (and better)?
