I agree. FWIW....I think a lot of guys here would be surprised at how much fun it is to make some of this stuff. I make my own buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, and jigs. One of my friends and I experimented several years ago with different wire shapes and head size/blade combinations on buzzbaits and came up with a bait that worked(s) extremely well for us. A 1/4 oz. head with a blade designed for 3/8 oz. baits, and forming the wire to put the body WAY lower than typical designs. The bait can be crawled extremely slowly. It's a lot of fun, and I think a lot more people would get into it if they knew how relatively easy it is to get into (and a good way to save a ton of cash if you want). Once we figured out what we liked, we poured a ton of them - - - I'm still on the initial batch I made about 12 years ago... ;D Where did you order your supplies from? Hoe does the Hook Tie to the wire? Any Pics? Thanks

5-6 days a week, afterwork or when I travel before and after work. The river is just five minutes away. If I wade the river for smallies.

Are you bringing a boat/canoe/ or waders? Great fishing in front royal off 66 exit 6 to the right behind walmart is a golf course with boat ramp. Also exit 6 toward Winchester on the left is lake frederick 110 acres. Or you can explore some of the north fork in Woodstock Area (of 81) 20 minutes south wading in at any point a bridge crosses the river. This place has a excellent trout stream and is very clean. Creekside Campground www.creeksidecampgroundva.com 108 Palmyra Rd, Edinburg - (540) 984-4299 Or you can charter out a fishing trip with me....

http://www.evolutionproductsinc.com/landingtool.php Lipper still on sale; I received mine it is pretty nice and great to use on the water.

If your going to release the fish, PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!!!!!! Just get a freaking scale. I agree you need to let the fish keep its slime covering you can ley it on a wet piece of plastic to measure length

I agree, SMB fight so much better.

That would add to much weight to my Rod, I'm getting old ;D

Great PIC, the monkey has been after me to pick one up...

Walmart has yellow polarized Renegade glasses 9-12 bucks

Nice story, my wife will fish now and then and will pick out lures for me, but there is no joy on the hunting. She will shoot skeet and my handguns for fun.

I use my pan optix clear polarized lenses, they are for riding my bike but work at night and early morning. It also keeps the gnats from landing on my eyeballs on the river

Great Job! I think you will really enjoy getting out on the water now.

Wife fish on the left talking to her spouse "Blah blah blah blah" Husband on the right "Yes dear you where right"

here is a good link on maintenance http://www.steelheadstalkers.com/spin-reel_tutorial.htm

Did you try to fix it a little epoxy will go along way

Thats odd I have 5 or six left I lost one three weeks ago. I wish they still made them they are better in quality than any on the market today

Glad it worked out, I kept thinking it was gone forever

Saturday report Nothing on my Anaconda's, but the smallies hit the the space monkey like nobody's business. All over two pounds one at 4 and some change.

I stopper into Dicks today at fairoaks I wish it was still gallyens.....

I stopped going as much when they stopped stocking cortland camo. Great selection of lures and reels

I think they have Fugi guides

Did the SS prop come with the boat?

Agree. Certainly. Absolutely. positively! Indeed 4-Sure

I never notice the size of the bubbles but will try to look for it, I look at my barometer every time I fish and log it with the amount of fish caught, baits used and depth.

Congrats I love taking my grandson out on the boat, he is two and loves to reel in his sponge bob reel with a senko on it ;D
