This discussion has brought me to this conclusion: I wish people would just use the VHF for necessary communications - most of us do.

If it's a slow day with no one really using it, then a bit of an extended discussion is fine - it's appreciated even! But when we're in a tournament setting with 200 people on the water and more in the campground who monitor the talk, people need to keep perspective and have some discipline!

It's all relative to the situation you're in, and that, I'm sure, is how it works for those with a land-based unit too. No one's going to bust a guy for having it - only for abusing/misusing it.

As for knowing the regs, I don't want to judge those who are discovering the sport for the first time, but in a tourney setting, if you don't know the regs then you should be disqualified.

i agree
if you want to chat , get the cheap 2 way radios.
at a tournament last year there was so much talking, i ended up turning off the radio.

Have been considering hollow braid for some time. Glad to hear it is working for you John. It would be a byatch trying to splice OTW.

solution
1. whip a loop in mainline
2. pre make your leaders
3. a loop to loop conection in the hollow braid is very tiny and fast to change on the water

John, any noticeable stretch with that hollow braid?

im running 60# seaguar threadlock i have not noticed any more stretch im sure theres a little more but i have not noticed it. the biggest reason i went hollow is i like to pitch live bait in the shallows with no weight, theres no knot to hang up in the eyelets when i cast , worth it to me. still a learning curve on splicing the hollow to floro ,mostly in the serving.

i got tired of all the knots.
i went with hollow braid and wind on leaders. start up, cost some $$
but i really like it.
