I've see those North Korea models. Word on the street is that they're not very accurate and cast jus splash down. Also heard someone caught five world records in a day on them, may have been that Kim Jong guy. Must be why his name's on it.

I heard the shima"no fish" rods were junk, so I don't want one. What's a good Shakespeare, berkley or Jerry Garcia rod in that range? Maybe a Loomis, but I hate the GL2s even though I've never fished them. I've got $106.85 now after looking in my car.

I've had the Spider-man, but setting the hook in the grass really was a chore. Plus the line was kinda sticky. Also, I found $3.75 and some coupons that have so small cash value, so the budget has opened up a bit...

Trying to help a brother out...

. The cubs will not win a world series intill you die. That's more of a statement of fact than a threat.

Btw... I mostly fish 1/16th oz inline spinners, t-rigged beasts weightless in heavy cover, and swimbaits. I intend to use braid, on a Citica B with upgraded spool, handle, and a sweet set of knobs.

Anything but Shesamano...whatcha got?

That's a pretty fish. Clear water?

Either cook it slowly in something sweet (dr pepper, ginger ale, job and soy sauce) or grill it rare. You could also put them snugly in a pot, add enough duck fat/butter/lard/etc to cover, and cook at around 200 degrees for a few hours. Shred that, quick hit on a griddle or hot pan just to crisp it up and off you go for tacos, omelets, etc. it's confit, and it works really really well for stuff like that and keeps for a few weeks if you leave it in the cooking fat in the fridge.

Shinah!

Uh....you should jump all over that Calcutta if you have the $80,

The C3s are probably your best bet, with a Cardiff close behind. The 100-sized Cardiff is a great little reel, as is the 200. Both are very easy to lube as well.

I'm voting for "This Thread's 10-7"

I think using bass for bait is illegal in IL...

I'll even pay shipping.

Ummm.....I'll give you $20 for them...double your money?

Cabelas Carbonlite has served me well.

Go big or go home, that is all. Big baits around big cover, and get them away from that cover quickly.

When'd you get back in town?

I have a mini slammer that really seems to call in the blues for some reason. Great fun, but a little disappointing.

And ICG, you just got a green light, and you better lock it up. Ask her to grab coffee after class, dinner, or to go to some sort of campus event where you kids can talk to each other and get to know each other a little. There's an expiration date once you have the digits bro.

Maybe poorly timed with the missing girls lately...but HA!

The bike or the chest?

Lake Norman or lake Wylie! Great location!

It's funny that you rarely see cheap hits like that on o-linemen, but you see it with some regularity on qbs and kickers. Some guys just feel a need to pick on the unsuspecting weaklings. Take from that what you will. I'm sure there's a psychosocial issue there or something.
