I am looking for 2 reels for a build for my two youngest grandchildren. Boy is seven and girl is ten years old. They have already picked their rods and both are 6ft and moderate fast action. I have been going back to the 1950's when i was a kid and my push button zebco, but having done a little research on zebco reels the reviews are not to good. I was thinking spin cast or a under spin reel, so

This month Rodmaker magazine has the date for the 2019 Expo Feb.16th & 17th 2019. The Expo web site has Feb. 23rd & 24th 2019. I am assuming its the latter dates. 23rd & 24th. Is this correct.

Had no problems yesterday. Went to their web site, then clicked on the carbonatex grips, next page come up was 9 squares with grips in each square. I wanted some of the CTRG-375 grips which was square five. I clicked on the letters highlighted in blue and when next page came up scroll down and there were all the measurements i needed. Hope this helps.

I am having trouble going to the Marriott hotel site to register for a room. The link posted takes me to embassy suites and the embassy suites takes me to the same. Has anyone who recently registered for a room at the Marriott having the same trouble. I don't know if this is on my end or not. I tried on my computer and laptop. Is it to early to register for a room at the Marriott? Thanks
