Soft plastic
colors: Green Brown Black White Blue Red I use some variation of green or brown probably 95% of the time. I dont' get too caught up in the particular variation. Green with black/red/blue/purple/whatever flakes is still green to me. The times where they'll only hit a particular color of flake is not all that often. Soft plastics (not counting trailers) Power Worm Trick Stick Rage Craw/Lobster (Paca craws too) Beaver style (good thing I stocked up before Brent stopped selling them) Trick Worm Paddletail Grub for creek smallies

Netbait Has New baits out!
Not to be a jerk or anything, but wasn't this the same exact situation as last year? What's considered "soon"?

iPhone vs Android
This discussion led me to look into switching carriers. What I found is that it really pays to stick with one carrier for a long time and keep the same contract. I have 850 rollover minutes with AT&T and pay 59.99. Now for the same price you only get 550 minutes. It looks like Verizon is much more expensive than T-Mobile and Sprint and from what I've read Verizon's 4G service is going to cost even more. Looks like I'll likely be sticking with AT&T. Hopefully the new iPhone comes out in June/July and I'll just get that.

iPhone vs Android
Won't make any difference when you're in the US. Verizon's towers broadcast in CDMA. The GSM on those phones is only used when travelling internationally. Verizon's 4G service won't be CDMA though, but the phone's voice will still use CDMA technology.

iPhone vs Android
The first thing to do is to find out the best carrier for your area. Then you can compare phones. Also, you can't compare an operating system (android) with a phone (iphone). It's not a valid comparison. Some of the android phones are garbage. The iphone is a great phone, but only if AT&T has good service in your area. If not, you just bought yourself an expensive mp3 player. I have the 3GS and love it. I'll probably upgrade to the 5 if it comes out this summer as they've talked about. I have no desire to access the root of my cell phone. There isn't a program that apple blocks that concerns me all that much. I don't text a lot so swype isn't a big deal. I did a quick search and there are speech to text apps for the i phone, again something that I don't care about. The only reason AT&T gets bad reviews is that they didn't execute the i phone rollout well at all. They were caught off guard with the actual data needs of those users. Now that people will be switching back to verizon AT&T's service will likely get much better (where it was bad). I got my first cell phone on Ameritech which changed to Cingular which is now AT&T. Had their phones for over 10 years now. No real complaints from me.

Stupid Grape Nuts...
grape nuts are good (with enough sugar)!

Would you like to look like this ???
If I could just simply chose to wake up tomorrow and look like that, I wouldn't.

The Keurig
The single cup coffee makers are good for those who drink low quantities per day. I don't drink coffee at all (nasty stuff), but my wife will have a single cup per day. Much easier to use the single cup (we have a tassimo) than it is to brew a pot.

Penny for Penny...
Thats the sauce I had, and I was not impressed, I love hot stuff, maybe it didn't have the heat I needed.. Mango Habanero is NOT as hot as they think it is. If you want to heat it up mix in some wild or blazin sauce. Those'll heat it up.

Question concerning Jigs
The different types of jigs and different sizes do make a difference. But, if you're just starting out don't sweat the small stuff and buy some cheap jigs and try it out. You'll be just fine fishing the cheap Wal-Mart jigs and you'll likely never lose a fish due to a bent hook. If you begin to like jigs then I'd recommend purchasing from a custom maker and not because of the "custom" cachet but because you can get a high quality jig for a reasonable price. GMAN's jigs are top notch and cheap. You just need to buy enough to make shipping worth it.

Pawn Stars on History Channel...
Hmm, in both shows the people are trying to pay as little as possible so that they can turn around and sell it at a profit. These places need to have a big markup because they have to cover all of their overhead and carrying costs of the items (some take years to sell). I haven't seen a case of Pawn Stars actually trying to rip someone off.

Caution! Craigslist buyers
I always thought that if you purchase something thinkin that it was legit that it was yours. If he paid fair market value then it should be his. We covered this in our bus law classes. I'm not going to get into the militarization of the police and I won't wonder why they needed to roll a SWAT team.

Your Improvements for 2011?
Go fishing more than I did in 2010, which shouldn't be hard because I only made it out like 5 times.

The Steez Reels ARE worth EVERY penny.
Hmm, I had a long post typed out to responde to this but decided it's all been said already and likely said better than I could've. Enjoy your "great gear" steezy. :

Whats the best combo you buy for $200-$250 or under?
Fixed it for you. I would agree with that reel as well. The Revo S is also a quality reel that gets a lot of great reviews. I just have Citicas and don't see any need to upgrade from them.

I hate No-Va-Cane
You only go to the dentist every 3 years or so and you're complaining about 1 small cavity? If it's a small cavity you don't even need novocaine. Just tell the dentist to hit it with the drill a few times and you're done. Also, is anyone else wondering how you say novocaine doesn't work, but after you got it you can't feel the right side of your face and neck? Hmm, isn't that an indication that it worked!

Pawn Stars on History Channel...
Oh yeah? I kinda like the show. The show is ok, but they aren't nearly as awesome as they think they are.

Cliff Lee back on the Phillies.
I don't recall Lee creating an hour long show on ESPN to announce his DECISION. I also haven't heard about a big party that the Phillies are going to throw to "showcase" their aces. LeBron's handling of the situation was vastly different. They shouldn't even be compared.

Soul searching
I graduated with an accounting degree and worked for Andersen in their Computer Risk Consulting group. School is nothing like work. If you were interested in a field at the beginning then you'll likely enjoy working in that field when you graduate. Upper level accounting classes are a drag and excruciatingly boring. Slog through it and go work for a public accounting/consulting firm for a while. After that you'll have a TON of choices and experiences and be able to decide what you want.
