Haven't had the opportunity to use it, but reviews of it are very positive. Seems to be a sturdy versitile reel.

Yeah, I had a bit of an impulse buy moment when the 832 went on sale at crappy tire on payday. I picked up another spool of 10lb, a spool of 20lb and a spool of 50lb for shoots and giggles. After my line started snapping repeatedly I got frustrated and threw the 50lb on to the spare spool that...

Just did a quick visual check on my guides and didn't see anything. I'll check against a Q-tip tonight to be sure. Good call on marking the line above the knot to check where the break is occurring. I'll give that a shot as well. There are certainly pike in the waters here, and I've had my...

Hey Guys, So I'm in my first season of fishing, and managing to get my line wet for about 45 minutes every morning before the kids get up, then about another hour later in the day with the kids. I've been doing this for about a month now and in the last 2 weeks my line has started breaking far...

Thanks Blair, I certainly appreciate the insight from someone on the opposite end of the experience spectrum from myself. As a musician, I definitely appreciate your points that quality gear doesn't mean quality results. The music world is full of people trying to buy themselves a magic guitar...

Thanks efka and NADO, I appreciate the replies. I was actually thinking of going with the Ugly Stik lite, just typoed my post. The spec differences between the two certainly make up for the $13 difference, and the reviews that I've read support that. Plus, the cork grip looks nicer (spoken...

Hey guys, Looks like this summer I'm going to have a lot of opportunities for fishing as my wife has taken up a summer position cooking at a camp, which means my home office will be moving to a cottage on a lake that is apparently pretty loaded with bass and pike. I played with a rod a bit...
