If you don't fish, skip to next post.  If you do, then you will know this is one of the ultimate big fish reels.  This is to spinning reels what iron Heart is to Jeans.  This is the Japanese domestic model, shipped to me by Mr H:

I wish I had fishing knowledge..but I love the idea of fly fishing..maybe when I visit u guys we should find the time to give it a try…so many things to do and learn..

[Giles]

We can have a go, or go spinning for Sea Bass at dawn, mega-fun.

That reel is not for fly fishing, it is for lure fishing for these:

Fly fishing, having just begun to learn, is very relaxing.  Equal parts hiking and fishing, relaxing and frustrating.  Good stuff.

On topic: IH1634!!  If they weren't so new I'd wear them while helping a friend paint his house.

Finally, decided to switch from Windows to Mac. Never regretted! Now waiting for my IH stickers from Giles to perfect this beautiful thing.

Welcome to the dark side!

[ronaldlsh]

Been using for a few days, and really love how mac works!

[nixage]

Congrats!  You'll love it.

Finally got my girl-friend to drink the kool-aid as well.    She just got a 2.4 13".

I'm not a hater and think windows is actually a decent product, but…..mac is just so far ahead when it comes to ease of use, ergonomics (using it), stability, etc, etc.  ....not to mention the hardware is awesome.

I guess it helps when you design and build both your HW and SW.

[ronaldlsh]

Yes, I love my mac. I'm sure your gf will love hers too.

[Dchill]

Geez, maybe I need to get me a mac too.  It's gotta be way better than Vista I'm using….yeah I said it, Vista.

[nixage]

you'll never look back. 

[Dchill]

Oh for sure nixage, I just gotta make that investment.  Then again that would cut into my IH budget…... :o

[nixage]

True!  But think of it as a tool to look at and purchase your IH products. 
hehe

Yeah, I started last year, only been a few times, I always thought I would be bored, but it is pure Zen. I have been here a few times:
