    Yamaha 150 or Mercury 150

    Mercury has a better Alloy for their blocks that is much more resistant to corrosion. I have yet to see a 150 merc with corrosion issues and the same cannot be said for Yamaha.

    What’s the setup for flylining livies?

    new mooching reel from amundson

    The economy version looks good for the price. No way am I spending 800+ for a Chinese made mooching reel. Better options here in that range which support local.
