is this better then the SQuall 50LD ?

Truthfully, the squall is a better reel, it out performs the senator. When it comes to line capacity, the senator has it beat. But let me save you some time, money, and headache...in actuality, I stopped using Penn as soon as they outsourced to China... the parts break down way too fast now and replacements are a waste of money just like the reel then becomes a waste. Trust me, I used to love Penn, but as soon as they did that, quality becomes non existent, even getting parts for old reels sucks because of the low quality. Avet and Shimano are the way, and take it from a very experienced and avid fishing captain.

I think you must qualify what you are looking for in a reel. Basics are: the 50LD holds 310 yds of 50# test versus 114h2Lw 560 yds of 50# test. The ld is a lever drag with a preset versus just a preset star. The 50ld is about 20oz lighter. A main question you must ask is do you want to use mono or braid? I got the 114h2lw because I could get line capacity out of a super mono at way less money than braid, plus I liked the true free spool. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions.

I like the Squirt better myself. I almost always prefer the original style tools to the skeletool/wave style. Still it depends on what you're going to use it for. Your best bet is to buy whatever has more of the tools you will personally find useful. For example, I personally almost never care whether my MT has a scissors, while for some people the folding scissors is the most important tool. My least favorite thing about the Style is that I can't get a knife and pliers in the same tool. But if say the tweezers are a key part of the tool for you, then maybe you would be better off with the Style PS.

Its actually better than rain X. As long as the windshield is very clean before the application it will last a very long time.

I've used both and the motion is roughly the same, but of course the 502 is much sturdier, and the controls are more tactile and easy to fine-tune. The 701 is smaller and more suited to monopod or slider use since it's easier to mount - once you get the 502 mounted you'll need to unscrew 3 bolts to get it off, so it's not very versatile. That said, the 502 is still my favorite head in terms of construction quality and usability.

Rocket M5 is probably a better choice although 50 Km is a challenge. Use RD5G34 with them

The EWL-30 is for places where you really want the lube to stay. If regular EWL is working fine for you, probably not worth the extra cost. YMMV. It doesn't appear to "gunk" up faster.

I use mine occasionally. There are now DOZENS of competitors on the market. I have not compared mine with less expensive options. The foxLV2 does remain a very well constructed unit.

It all depends on the current because we used the motor on an inflatable boat with 2 adults in the lake with not much of the current and the motor barely brought us back to the deck. We got so duscourage aftet the first use and never use it again. My suggestion is to get the next power up model than the 50.

I am no expert. I bought the larger coil because the price wasn't prohibitive. 50 will cool it faster. I use a 5 gallon pot. By the time you get to the cooling part, the 10 - 15 minutes or so you may save is worthwhile. Especially with a buzz on. :-)

It decimated my nephew's Pegasus and his Rock Leon. So my answer is yes it is better than Pegasus. I hope this helps.

There is almost no black and white answers to which is better. This helical Steel City planer is very smooth, and very quiet for a planer. There is a bit of snipe, although I have not yet adjusted the infeed, outfeed tables. The straight blade planer such as Dewalt are powerful, but a little more expensive for the small shop. I am very very pleased with the Steel City planer. It is smooth, powerful, safe and quiet.

I have an Intex Mariner 4 and had a minn kota 30 that worked okay but felt it was a little underpowered. I haven't used the 50 yet but I'm sure it's going to move along nicely!

The Astromaster 130 AZ Telescope is a better telescope because it has better quality optics. The advantage of the Powerseeker 127EQ telescope is that it comes with an equitorial mount. I bought the Powerseeker 127EQ telescope because of the lower price. If you could spend the money I would suggest the Astromaster 130EQ telescope, then you would have better optics and a better mount.

The 5030 is a larger machine. Its capacity is larger, it freezes faster, it weights more (72 lbs vs 45 lbs), and it costs twice as much. Is it worth it? I found that i really don't use the extra capacity that often, but rather make multiple batches with different flavors. The faster turnaround time makes it worth it for me.

Yes, Miss Tucker is correct on both counts; despite appearing ruggedly built, this lighter turned out to be a waste of a few dollars. Go with one of the others; bought for Husband and he had much better success with the silver S3 Triple Jet and the 45 degree (pineapple) shaped single jet. Both work well while under-way out on the water. Husband also keeps 2 more + fuel in our hurricane emergency supplies as well.

In my opinion you need a better range of optics. There is very little light gathering ability difference between x40 and x42. I would recommend the 8x40 and 10x50's. I know, the 10x50 are heavier but they also are better in low light. You never know when you are going to see something that is a once-in a lifetime occurence. I think it is worth the weight.

I don't know about the 50" but if it is as good as the 32" I bought I would buy it. I am considering getting a larger screen and will definitely look at Sceptre's first.
