I hear from loads of listeners looking for reliable gear on a budget, particularly for saltwater.

Now if that's you, look no further than Quantum's new merit reels and combos.

With reels starting at under $100 and combos under 130, you'd be hard pressed to find tackle in this price range that packs as many features and boasts this level of durability.

C-Lock-6 technology keeps sanded saltwater out of the reel body, rotor, and carbon fiber drag,

which stops monsters as smoothly as reels with much higher price tags.

Opting for a combo? Features like one-piece stainless steel guides on the graphite composite rods

mean no inserts to chip or pop out at the worst times.

And the joke I made was like, if you made a modern version of that, the good luck would be like the edibles and hendo hatch kicked in at exactly the same time.

This like 1200 degree sphere pendant drops, it hits my shorts like a rock through water. It didn't even hesitate.

And it went down and it stuck in the most

inopportune spot in between my thigh and other parts, right? Like a blister like that. My mom

randomly took me to lunch at this place in Vermont that has a glass bowling facility and also

a restaurant. And we had lunch there. That's so Vermont. That's the most Vermont shit that I ever heard.

Come on, man.

Cut and retry that.

You know that's never going to work.

Good morning.

Friends, degenerate anglers, and people who have come to the sad realization

that dropping the quote, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you, I'm out is lost on most people

under the age of approximately 38.

And welcome to Cut and Retie, the Fishing Podcast that makes your teeth go pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.
