Well, I pulled the trigger and bought my second Talon this week! Now I will have two on the stern, allowing me to peg my boat in place, no matter how hard the wind blows.The unit itself arrived yesterday, and the bracket arrived today. So, I now have a little winter project to get done before Match gets here and I start fishing again

I’ve been using them for a long time. They are my basics other than Ark Rods which is a company that produces rods for a lot of major brands. They used to mfg. Falcons and we got special deals once a year. That is gone as the owner got Alzheimer's.

One of the guys on a local forum listed some rods for sale. He named several brands among which was Gloomis. I happen to be a Gloomis fan. I called him up and asked about bait casting and he had 2. He lives about 50 miles away so I drove down yesterday afternoon and bought them. I gave $100 a piece for them. They are GLX MBR 844c and GLX BCFR 863c. Happy birthday to me. They needed a good cleaning. I scrubbed them with Totally Awesome. Today I will be putting shrink tubing on the handles and mounting a couple of Shimano E7 reels on them. Look out green fish.
