-HAWK-

Good info guys. I will go out tonight and spend a couple hours practicing. Another question, What are the Pros and cons of a Baitcast set-up vs. Spinning Setup? Basically trying to see what I should be using the Bait cast setup (technique/lure) for and what I should use the spinning setup for.

I plan to start the New Year with a few new goals. I decided to purchase a Bait-cast setup and learn to throw it without getting a birds nest every cast. So I purchased the new 2009 Shimano Citica 200E and paired it up with a Uglystick 7mh Baitcasting rod. My question is, I plan on practicing for a few hours each day, What is a good lure to try casting with? Should I use soft plastics, wire baits or hardbaits? Also if anyone is familiar with the Citica 200e, what is the best way to set up the Variable Brake System? Lastly The uglystick is temporary, what will be a good rod to pair this up with?

Great Job, that looks really good.

I have learned a lot from you too Catt, so don't disappear.

I have noticed that he hasnt been on lately. I hope everything is ok. I always liked reading his informative posts, I have learned alot from him since joining the forums.

Paul, once again Nice catch.. You must be fishing the most productive lake in the South East.

Pflueger Supreme Spinning Reel is my favorite hands down. I own a Shimano Symetre, Pflueger President, Okuma Epixor, and a few older Daiwas and Quantums. None of these compare to my Supreme.

Nice fish!

SHAM WOW, LOL That guy has got to be the biggest whack nut around. actual quote from the commercial "this thing is made in Germany, so you know its gotta be good"

:-? ;D Nice...

Why are you gonna go and send stuff out again? :-? I would go to the Post office and find out whats going on.

Very nice upgrade to the site. I will be ordering asap.

Good info.. Learn something new here everyday.

Awesome selection of lures... I got gift cards so Ill have to report later.

;D ;D lol, Good one.

Was this at the Wellington Green Mall? They have a deadly line up of kiosks operated by hot full figured women.

What do you do for a living?

^^ Awesome advice. MattM and Simp have given some excellent advice.

Paul. Once again Awesome video.. This video is great because not only do you show the awesome hogs you catch but you also show what you caught them on.

;D That's good.. I hope your wife doesn't check up on you here.

I don't know why you would be friends with anyone you wouldn't want dating your sister. Your basically saying some ****** of the street you know nothing about is probably better than your friends :-?. Good point Matt, this is probably the best post yet.

I picked a Truck, There is just soo much more that can be done with a truck for daily driving. Sports cars are cool as a 2nd car driven for fun only.

Well I have spent two straight days with this setup throwing swimbaits and heavy jigs. I haven't caught any monsters with the setup yet, but with the few Tourney size fish I did catch this rod performed perfect. Casting heavy swimbaits was not a problem. The reel performed smoothly and quietly. This set up is a must have for people wanting to throw heavy swimbaits with a spinning setup.

Pretty Cool Dave. Those shells are huge. When I was your age I used to collect shells, fossils and different rocks and gems that I could find.

This is by far my favorite. What an awesome movie all together.
