If you have the serial number, you can look up the manual here and it should say what year it is on the cover of the manual.

I'm curious if anyone might have an updated flea report for Canandaigua. I know Les said they were bad back on 9/16 but I'm wondering if the cool weather we've had since then may have eliminated them by now?
Les, I really like the part about the 12 lb test withstanding kings up to 32 lbs. Must've been a 35 pounder that broke me off, lol. I love fishing light line, and in the summer, light leaders in combination with SeaFlee or something similar.
Thank you Bobby, the Margeits and everyone involved who make this tournament the best run tournament on Cayuga Lake each year. All the effort that goes into organizing it so well is hugely appreciated! I was thrilled and surprised I managed a 3rd place finish with a 29 lb box, especially given the weights from previous years. Conditions were tough out there with the weed mats and fleas out of control. Congrats to the winners and big thanks to the sponsors too. Also a great hang with folks at the weigh in.
