Revo STX
I'm just curious (and not trying to be a smart arse), but are all ABEC 3 bearings created equally? AFAIK, ABEC speaks ONLY to tolerances, and not to bearing hardness, smoothness, or bearing material.

Favorite lure mods?
I'm very adventurous. : I like to clip the front tip off my finesse and trick worms to give them a flat end before putting them on a spiral lock.

I'm madder than ****
Calling the police may work. What will work is this... Place the home OWNER on notice of the problems. Once the owner is aware of the problems caused by the tenants, the owner becomes liable for damages (and yes, your loss of peaceful night's sleep is a "damage" and is compensible). Then threaten to sue the owner for his negligence in allowing the tenant to remain and wreak havoc. I see this a lot. Owners quickly lose patience with tenants when THEY become liable for the tenants' trouble making. You live in Florida, right??? Florida is a plaintiff's state. Get a lawyer on a contingency fee. If your main concern is just getting them to stop their trouble making and NOT making money, who cares how much the attorney takes. Hell, tell him he can have 100% of anything he gets. An attorney would eat thsi case up.

Hook selection for wacky rigging
I've used kahle hooks for years fishing shiners. "Wacky Rigging" (backhooking) shiners with kahles is a very effective method. I figured why not try kahle hooks with senkos/dingers. I've been trying it for awhile now and it has proven to be a great set up. Hook ups are much eaiser than with Gammy Finesse hooks, and the wacky method prevents most deep hooking kahles are infamous for. You can make it weedless by turning the hook and putting the point just under the skin in the side.

crankin reel
Your Revo S is a fine cranking reel. I'd buy the Revo Inshore's longer handle for it and you'll have a fantastic cranking reel.

Ragetail frog's
This oughta be good. I don't know who to pick. Rage Tail is no push-over. But the I'm sure the Horny Toad won't just "roll over" on this one, either. :-X

setting hooks on wacky rigged senkos
Anyone try a straight shank Kahle hook? I've used them on occassion and I've gotten way better hookups than with the Gammy Finesse. I've used the Gammy Finesse - don't care for them. The weedguard is weak and pulls completely off the hook after short useage.

When did BPS start carrying Megabass?
There's none in my local BPS. In fact, there's a lot of stuff in their catalog that you can't find in their stores. > That's OK, we've got a local guy that has a tackle shop that carries the full line of Megabass. I'd rather spend my $$$ there.

Rod Guide Damage
Look closely at the guide. It could be glue that got on the guide. I've seen this on some All Star rods. Initially it felt like a chip, but was actually a little glue that was hard and a little rough. I was able to flick it off with my thumb nail.

Yo Zuri Hybrid-4.88$
Did you notice the "regular price" on the spools? A sticker on mine shows $42.95 for 725 yards of 10lb test. $4.88 is a pretty good deal.

Lizards for Spot Removers and shakey heads
If I were gonna fish a lizard on any of those heads, I'd use the football head. The 90 degree eye makes the bait wag when you are dragging it. It gives it really nice motion. The only thing I don't like about the football head in that picture is the spiral lock. I like spiral locks but the diameter on that one I a little too wide. If I use it with worms, I always clip the tip off the worm so I have a flat end to screw onto the spiral lock.

bout to hang up the jig
Spirogyra. Sounds like a kama sutra position. I calls it 'lake snot.'

"bargin bin" just as good?
RW's list is very comprehensive and I agree with a lot of it. The best part about it is is that much of the stuff he lists doesn't come with a premium price. Bombers, Manns, Heddon, Rat-L-Trap, etc are very reasonably priced. Rapalas carry a moderate price. LC was sort of premium, but there are more expensive baits. You should expect to pay something for good tackle, but it doesn't have to cost you the farm.

Binoculars
I own, or have owned, a little bit of everything - from Bushnell to Zeiss. But bang for the buck, I recommend Steiner. I own 3 pairs of Steiners. For lightness, quality of construction, clarity, brightness, lense and coating quality I don't think they can be beat - except by $1,000 brands. But some of the aforementioned brands offer excellent glasses in your price range. You don't say what you want to use them for, or if your viewing will be in daylight or fading light situations. Before any suggestion on power, or objective lense size can be made, please let us know that. Do you want compact, medium or fullsize binos? Porro prism (conventional) or roof prism (tubular)? If you don't know what you want, I recommend reseaching it first by perusing this site... http://binoculars101.com/ ...it will tell you all the terms and factors you should consider.

Versus TV
I like that City Limits Fishing show. Pretty cool catching SMB in some drainage-pipe outlet on the Delaware River in downtown Philly. Totally underated show, and on at crappy times.
