Sinbad Reality Show
Can't watch reality shows, but i did see sinbad's stand-up routine on tv earlier this year, and that man is funny. These days it's pretty hard to find a comic that doesn't swear every other word, but sinbad can pull it off....

Line!!?!?!?
Or go with this: XL and XT.

Lures For Small Bass
Everything in my tacklebox will slay the dinks, but may i suggest a s/k bitsy tube or a 4" worm on a slider head...

Scrounger Swim Jig
Sometimes the flash of chatterbaits do seem to be too much, and the scrounger/small fluke worked well for me last year. Just picked up 2- 5 pks. (unpainted) for 4.59 each. Have to use glue on their "keeper" though...

10.72 million dollar base pay equal to slavery.
OOOOPS...he fumbled AGAIN! I'm a football fan, and i don't know how classy he, or any other athelete- is. You are thought of by the way you act, the things you say, and the things you do. Everything else is heresay......

snaps and spinnerbaits
Before i started making my own spinnerbaits (closed eye) i would wrap the "r" with some fine wire about 6 times and then solder it. I hate "r" bends....

RUBBER BAITS
If you buy a bps worm binder, buy a couple extra packs of replacement pages while at it . They may change design by the time your original bags get wore out.

What is your favorite lure or softplastic that they no longer make?
Crankbait Corp. and Lazy Ike hard foam in all sizes and models. Mann's razorbacks and Norman's little scooper. Burke flex-plugs. Mann's draggin' worm (i think) in white/pearl blue.(has a snake-like head,straight lightly-ribbed body, and a pointed tail.)Wood Bombers in christmas tree or perch pattern- any size. Dance craw.

Flat vs. Gloss Finish on Crankbaits
I too have wondered about flat vs. glossy. The glossy looks great to we humans, but would a flat finish appeal a little more to the bass? If any devcon 2ton guys out there that tried to"flatten" their topcoats please chime-in with your results and procedures..thanks

Sonar Placement for Tiller Boat
You have alot of options here, and how you fish would play a major part. First of all, i think 1- $300 unit is better than 2- $150 units. If you have/fish from a bow mounted trolling motor, that's where i would mount the transducer. It's where you spend the most of your day, and with a better sonar, it will help you fish more efficiently. With lake maps available for public lakes (in mi. anyways) you can still guesstimate the areas you want to fish, put the motor down, turn on the sonar and get to catching. That's how i would do it.

Are you the type......
I'd like to know why there is a 1a and a 1b when clearly there are 5 choices. Why not just go with 1 thru 5? I'm going with 4b: the way Creed fishes on the Office.....

Rick Clunn changes sponsors
Did he leave BPS or did they dump him? I'm guessing the latter.

NASCAR screwed up again!
Excellent point Rhino with the having to qualify to make the race. I quit being a fan when i couldn't identify the car make from a side veiw. I still watch some of most races, but could care less how the points are distributed, or who wins the championship. I guess i don't know enough of the sport to question you as to exactly how Nascar slapped you in the face and abandoned those who built the sport. (?)

Pedigo Spinrite
I think i still have one. Is the spinrite the tailspinner with the short arm coming out of the front/top and a maribou skirt? If so, i never caught anything on it. Sorry....
-
I'm going crazy
I'm mentally not ready to fish yet anyways. (?) Thank goodness i have about 10 more weeks to get there...

We lost a true friend
Peace be with his family and friends.

Went to the Ultimate fishing show.
My problem with the show was me, actually. I really only wanted to buy some smaller "chatterbait" - type blades, and some variation of white french fries. And was hoping to find some "basement" handpours. The mrs. wanted to see the animals, the cages were there, but the critters were not. If i was going to buy a boat, or rod , or a reel....maybe i would have loved it.

Went to the Ultimate fishing show.
I went opening nite, and was a little disappointed. Pretty much the same as last year, maybe a little less. If i didn't jones so bad i probabally would just quit going.
