Ducksssssssssss baby. Focusing on getting this football national championship done for now.

Same here!

One last rod? ;D ;D What about a swimbait rod? Seems you are getting into throwing some big baits.

I gave in and picked up an avid, loving it so far, except that all 10 fish I landed on it during my tourney were short!!

Nice, that's definitely one of the hotter swimbaits. Good luck!

cheez-its are pretty dominant, but im rolling with chewy granola bars and some 24-hour mexican takeout.

Lol i'll admit im waking up at 3:50 tomorrow for a tournament, and just purchased a few cokes and starbucks frappuchinos. You wouldn't expect any less from a college student would you?

Gotta have the two rod stamp. I use it more for trolling for trout, macs, etc. Very seldom for bass. Yout got jipped. $5?!?! They gave me mine for free. Yeah I have the two rod stamp as well for trout. No I didn't pay for a holder, I just made my own.

it's made of 70% discarded carrots.

Cali and Oregon.

I'm interested, would be a good sticky.

hmmm tempting. That orange pixy looks nice on it.

Where else do you have to have your license visible besides California? Charge you another $5 for the holder, and it's easy to forget when you can't just leave it in your wallet.

Geez a lot of you guys got it good. Costs me $45 for my California license after buying the bay stamp. Of course there's a ton of other stamps you have to buy for various other things. Another $60 for non-resident Oregon license, and another $20 for a harvest card to keep salmon/steelhead/halibut/sturgeon.

yeah I wouldn't touch any of those "LC" and "megabass" lures on ebay. Unless they are showing the original packaging.

Your accounting numbers had me all confused! I think it's definitely worth it pulling the trigger on the avids. I've read a fair share of negative reviews on the premiers, but have yet to see anything but great reviews for the avids. Seems to be a big jump in quality in the St.Croix line after the premiers. I'm waiting for my Avid AS68MXF to arrive, so I can't really give you too much insight.

Yeah those sporty spooks Joe makes look great. I'm on the same saltwater forum as redlinerobert so I've seen a bunch of his work. Lots of people been having good success on them; I just asked Joe for some quotes. Prices are very reasonable.

Pac-10 getting no love AGAIN >

Sounds like typical bay area fisherman weather. It's nice when you can't fish and crappy when you can, but you still go anyways.

As husker said, black is less visible in the water, and quite a few people choose to do this with their braided line. Some people also choose to cover their hooks in sharpie to prevent rust.

Hey, just curious. Why are you in the market for Quantum products, specially if you have no idea about the rods? :-?

Lol looked like he was gonna ride it during the release

Another vote for the spook. I prefer the super spook.

Most Productive: 5" *** (wacky rigged) Favorite to fish: Super Spook

Plastic making basics: Plastic Hardener and Softener Scent Glitter Fine salt Colorants Microwave (I picked one up at salvation army for $5) Pyrex Measuring cup Molds or make your own mold (there is a good tutorial on bassresource for making your own molds out of plaster; how I found this site) Gloves Protective Eyewear It isn't exactly cheap to pour your own plastic. All the stuff adds up. If you were only interested in pouring trailers, I wouldn't take it on. Do a search on this forum and read up before you start doing anything. I would recommend buying a starting kit from del-mart.com, and making additional molds yourself. Just make sure it's something you really want to do.
