Zebco from Tulsa to China. Zebco reels were classic inexpensive spin cast reels. Outside the city limits, everyone knows and maybe used Zebco reels. Timken bearings of Illinois kept most everything in North America running at all. China.

And most rods of any make under $100, tackle boxes, electronics, waders, terminal tackle and your new 50 hp merc!

I really do prefer to deal with smaller operations in everything if I can. Our resident builders also share a similar hobby and are really building some interesting stuff.

The DIY stuff seen here is remarkable and creative, just not for me in more than one way.

Remarkably creative and using components from China and Korea lol
You can get a USA made Hortilux HPS lamp :P - as I run out of this thread before all hell breaks loose......

The gogreen light is fine.... Not top end drivers(85% efficient) and if a fan goes that's bad news. 4 cxb 3070 cobs for under $400 is a good deal no matter who makes it compared to most made lights costing 600$ for 2 cobs in a fixture. But for $400 you can get timber grow light diy kit and that's much much better which is producing at the very least 20% more light for the same price and there's no fans to worry about.

I've had my go green since late last year. One of the light flickers randomly but other than that it's still rocking away.

For 200 bucks more you get the 250 bars or the 250 kits? 3590's best of everything? Way better deal then the gogreens even at +200

Reasons to be cautious include Growblu, Apollo, platinum, magnum, evergrow, Mars, biesen, black dog, vipar, black star, kind, lush and on and on. Builders here are at least somewhat accountable by word of mouth and reputation because they are "local".

Mau5-V 5cob kit for $545 from cutter? or have I misunderstood the conversation.
No..... Timbers 5cob kit is 499$ free shipping.

If you're in the US timber is the better price......not by much tho.

I think he was thinking the 250w kit was 200 more....but it's only 100 more. 6 cob kit is $200 more.

Ah, I see. That's a great price. Especially free shipping. I have not looked at many of the pre built units, I just thought a mongo frog was meaning on the market in general.

Yea i know, I just didn't want to go into it with dude. He already knows. Think he was trying to engage with me is all. I was actually talking about the PLC bars and the 250 watt kits. Both better buy then the gogreens even if for 200 bucks more. I just don't want to engage with home boy up there. Sorry.

our current price with discount and includes the angelina reflectors and diffusers with 10% CUTANDROLL is USD450.53, without freight, I believe the additional reflect/diffuser cost with Timber brings theirs to USD539 including freight, just so you have the details
Cheers
