Ima Big Stick
I saw this bait on TW's site today. Looks like a good pike, ski, big bass bait. Does anyone have experience with this lunker lure?

This should be interesting...
Second-hand smoke smells something fierce. A typical Wisco tavern will make your clothes nasty. The coat is best left in the car. I don't have to worry about this with chew.

senko setup: casting vs spinning
I still fish T-rigged Senkos on a bc outfit, but I switched over to spinning for wacky-style for this reason...lord knows fluoro ain't cheap.

Suggestions For Deep Water Crankbaits
It's not the deepest, but I have a fondness towards the LC Slim Shad.

I have a question for Yankee or Braves fans: how many more years is Melky Cabrera under team control?

The Christmas Exchange Thank You Thread
Catt, you read my mind as well. I did not own a single Rage Tail bait before this exchange, an planned on purchasing some for next year. Luckily, Catt took care of the job for me. I received green pumpkin Smokin Roosters, okeechobee craw Space Monkeys, blue sapphire Craws, and assorted colors of Rage Hawgs. Many thanks to Catt, and Redline.

Before I spool...
Yup. I've spooled without it, and the slick braid will spin on the spool. I just use old crap mono leftover from filler spools.

MIKE HOLMGREN.
They can have him. If he does a good job, it will cease when the rumors of him going to a different franchise start to swirl. Ron Wolf still blames him for the loss of SB 32.

Thief
He got caught on camera , he's still on the llam. His last log in on the TT Forum was yesterday evening @ 6:07 PM, so he's still around. I'm quite sure he's lurking and following this thread closely. I don't doubt he's following. The log-on doesn't make sense for him, unless it's a family member.

Most memorable childhood Christmas present!
A Sheridan Silver Streak pellet gun when I was around nine. When I was a teenager I received a 12ga. 870 Express. As one can imagine, I sent quite a few birds to their maker.

Happy Birthday Catt

The Christmas Exchange Thank You Thread
I'm glad you can use the tackle Catt. I wasn't sure what to get so I figured some of the things that I did well with in the recent past. I was talking to MALTESE_FACON today, and he mentioned that you fish a lot of Gene Larew plastics, and then it hit me; I totally forgot. Same thing on the Roboworms here in WI. Many people here haven't even heard of them...and that's alright by me. TW usually gets my money when it comes to Roboworm products. I wish I would have sent some four inchers for your dropshot rigs; I didn't even think about that. I received your package today. As badly as I want to tear that sucker open, I am going to try and wait until Christmas morning. Merry Christmas.

Thief
I, like others, was going to keep my mouth shut. After reading various fishing forums, visually seeing his mugshot from a previous theft arrest, etc., it's obvious this is the same guy. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. As many have said, he had no problems involving dozens upon dozens of innocent people in this scam. He's obviously been doing this for some time, and it's obvious he never showed any guilt or remorse for his actions; he continued selling hot gear up to the end. I feel like a creep, because I vouched for him when questioned on the Flea Market pages. What a d-bag. Seriously. This guy has a nasty ball of karma on his back.

Lots of smashed TV's in New England on Christmas Eve...
Man, that's even worse. At least on the challenge you get a little break, and get to listen to a normal Joe. I didn't realise that idiot had an entire half-hour to himself.

Lucky craft sammy alternatives
No I haven't, but I'm sure it will catch fish. Me too. 8-) I've been itching to buy one for awhile. It's winter here so I have plenty of time to try to find a deal on one.

Prayers for my wife's back surgery
As others have said, you reach a certain point where surgery is the only option; and it still is a difficult decision. One thing that will come in handy is a grabber/grappler device. It was a life-saver after my procedure. God bless and prayers for all involved. Make sure she really boosts her calcium and vitamin D intake after surgery. This will really help the bones and her recovery progress. I noticed the Marquette shirt. Is she an alumnus?

Crankbait Rod
You can get a Powell delivered to your door from TW, and not exceed your price range. I would definitely go with a casting rod. If you're new to casting rods, a cranking rod is a good place to start. Cranks usually cast well, especially some of the new baits with weight-transfer systems. A seven foot rod, in a medium or medium heavy power, will do the trick.

BPS reels Junk? Or the Revo?
I'm not sure if his line of BPS reels have been updated since they were first introduced. Either way, at the very least, the first run of these reels are junk. Crap reels + skis = trouble, cussing, lost fish, lost baits, partner thrown overboard, etc...

2009 The Pennants are flying and the Trash is almost in view!
I can't believe that contract....Lackey is not an ace...not for that kind of dough. It's about 2.5 million worse than Burnett's Sounds like the M's get a year of Cliff Lee for a few guys from their stocked farm.

The Hangover comes out Tuesday!!
I haven't seen the movie, but have a feeling it will be quite a popular stocking stuffer this season.
