One Lucky Member...
It arrived yesterday afternoon. Man is that a sweet looking lure. Is it a rattletrap or BPS version? Just wondering because it doesn't have the fin on top. Also for throwing it on the right setup....1/4 ounce right? Can't wait to get this thing wet. I know for a fact this guy is going to nab something. Going to give it a whirl on Saturday. Thanks again Dave! My wife is pretty impressed at your handy work and she hates fishing! ;D

My new Revo s!
Very easy. Just unscrew the bolt/screw on the left hand side (for your lefty model) and take off the sideplate. Than push the "tabs" out to set them in the "on" position. Keeping them pushed inwards on the spool keeps them in the "off" position. I actually prefer this style of braking system.

Do you carry concealed?
Super Soaker 1000 for me. Luckily I live in a place that has no need for it. So far anyway. I actually have never seen anyone carrying a gun around except for officers of the law.

Did I Make A Mistake ???
Agreed that is a very nice rod for the price. Keep it if it feels more comfortable than the Crankin Stick.

My Rainbow
Yeah she was sitting in a cooler of snow for about 8 hours while I went out again. Myself.....I couldn't feel my feet. Worth it though. Today is opening day for all streams around my area so now I'm not bound to just this one. Hopefully I will be able to get out after work.

One Lucky Member...
yup you sure are the lucky member and i sent it out this morning by the way im not sure what the hooks are, they are the stock hooks that came on the bait. you could change em if you like cuz i hear the stock hooks are pretty crappy (i havent really used bill lewis traps before so i dont know what the hooks are like). and you better throw it . payment for this lure is a picture of a nice smallie that fell for the bait ;D. formulagamble, i have not fished with it, as it is not mine. ask Davis in a few weeks when his waters get warmer and he can fish with it! Yeah I'll change em out and throw some Owner Stingers on there. Man I can't wait to hold that bait! I sure will get a picture of the first fish that falls to it. Thanks again. You really didn't have to do this. Very much appreciated though. 8-)

Okeechobee Fats 1200 tackle bag
I have the Red 19.99 one and it is awesome for shorefisherman. I wouldn't go any bigger honestly. More than enough room for the things that I want to take on a trip. Held up very well. No complaints from me.

Man I missed this earlier...... Thanks Dave. I appreciate it. What do you have on there for hooks? That thing turned out better than I would have thought. Not sure if I want to throw it now lol. Can't wait! The lucky member is ME!!!!!! 8-)

Anybody got a Revo S ?
It is possible on all 4 of my Revos, you dont get your finger around it just on the front and spin it. Exactly....you don't need to grab the thing. Just take your thumb or finger and put it on the top of the screw. Spin it counterclockwise and bingo. Doesn't matter how big or small your hands are.

Carrot Stix-Still Waitiing
Delos also has them in stock but you have to pay a rod packing fee.

Anybody got a Revo S ?
Redneck is right.....a screwdriver is not needed. Mine came off just fine.

Why no grease in my Revo S Box?
Actually I have never seen grease included with the reel. Oil yes but grease no. My Revo S came with oil only. Going off of that though....it is very odd that with my citica 100dsv there was oil included with the reel but when my Citica 200d came in there was nothing but the reel and manual. Both were ordered from TW. Strange....but I have more than enough oil from the 100 to service both when needed.

Quantum Reel
InchesPerTurn with the 100DSV at 25 and the 200D at 26 Also the 200D is a couple ounces heavier than the 100dsv. The 100dsv is smaller and easier to palm than the 200D. The 200D has a wider spool and the HEG (which are the beefier gears). The 100dsv also does not have a drilled spool. Both have the same gear ratio and both can be used for most bass fishing applications. I own both by the way and prefer the 200D so far. Go to *** and you can see the differences yourself as well.

Anybody got a Revo S ?
http://www.***.com/descpageRLCABUGAR-AGRS.html 99 dollars plus you can pull a $10 rebate off ABUs website. Free shipping and no tax as well. I haven't fished with mine yet but have messed with it a bit. Feels better in my hands than my Citicas if that is anything to go on. But most people on here will recommend the Revo S over some of the others.

zoom super fluke
Try a 3/0 EWG style hook and expose the hook so its laying flat on the back. Or you can rig it the other way too where the hook is coming out of the hook slot on the belly. I have had success both ways. Fish it like a jerkbait with snaps and twitches. They are a very versatile bait.

Your favorite soft plastic stickbait color?
Watermelon Purple Swirl

My Rainbow
Nope it doesn't. I'm a wide fellar so she may look smaller. But I assure you the length and weight are correct. I actually thought she would weigh more. If I could catch these girls all the time than bass fishing would go bye bye. The feeling of seeing a fish take off like a bullet down stream taking drag is amazing. There so pretty too.

I LOVE IT
lol be careful now. I bought a citica 100dsv about a month ago and now I have a Revo s and a Citica 200D to go along with it. Baitmonkey is very sneaky.

Trout lures in early May, West Virginia stream. First time..
3" Berkley Trout worms on a split shot rig. Throw them up stream and let them drift.

My Rainbow
25 1/2" long 6 lbs 1 ounce Caught her in a stream on a 5'6" UL glass rod, ultralight Pflueger Trion, 4 lb Sequar Invizx, and a chartruese berkley 3" Trout worm drifted with a small split shot. She was peeling drag like crazy. What a fight and man was she pretty. This picture was taken about eight hours later so she was a bit duller here. Anyway....fun as all heck on that noodle of a rod!

Shimano Citca's and Ebay
Bought my Revo S from them. They are an Ebay store. Not an auction. They have an actual store in the "real" world as well. When they ship your reel they will give you a receipt for the MSRP price, and then on the bottom they will tell you what you actually paid. So you just take the top half of the receipt and send it in. I would jump on it. They ship veyr fast as well.
