Either the BCR 852 or 853. These rods are super fast, so the medium fishes a bit heavier.

Yea, but when the mentally unbalanced goon gives up nine earned... that will stick with him, at least for a few days. It always does with head cases.

Aw, come on Burley, there's just more of them to love. As long as CC keeps throwing CG's, and keeps his pitch count down, heck, I'll send him a few cases myself. Even with CC and tons of fun Fielder, Wisco is pretty well stocked on sausage, cheese and brew. If there's ever a nucular war, we'll still have enough to go around. Even though it's a stereotype, it really is true. On game day, we sit around and eat cheese, homemade sausage, and hop juice.

You know the old saying, 'beat it like a rental.' There's no way Melvin is going to give up a stud prospect like LaPorta and not get his $'s worth.

Another complete game shutout for CC. The big man gives up none and K's nine. This is Sabathia's fourth complete game since being traded to the Crew. In his seven games as a Brewer, he's 6-0 with an ERA of 1.58. Someone is lookin' for a big payday this offseason, perhaps eclipsing Santana's numbers.

You should be fine. If anything, you can tie a fluoro or mono leader to the line on your spinning rig with a uni-to-uni knot. This will provide a bit of stretch and shock absorption for trout and more delicate fish.

Another vote for the black Jitterbug. If you are targeting monster fish, give the muskie sized Jitterbug a shot. Be sure to sharpen or replace the hooks. You don't want to lose the fish of a lifetime.

Happy cake day LBH.

4" Yum Muy grubs in ozark smoke, pearl/silver flake, and green pumpkin. Also, another vote for Kalin's 5 inchers too. I go really simple here, white or black, and use them for spinnerbait trailers. The Kalin's grubs, doctored-up with a little Berkley walleye scent, are killer on big 'eyes when coupled with a leadhead. Another option with the 5" Kalin's is to thread them onto a large airplane jig, and work them vertically through the ice for pike. Black and white get the nod here as well.

The funniest part of this deal is if the Jets trade Favre to the Vikings, they must give GB three 1st round draft picks.

;D It's never too early to prep for a holiday you really enjoy. Every year we deck out our front yard for Halloween. Most everything is hand-made. It's really something. We have people come from out of the area for photos every year. It's pretty much a year-round project. We're always scouting for new materials, ideas, etc.

I don't think anyone is underestimating the Angles. They definitley are the cream of the crop. Their pitching is very good. Saunders, Santana, and Lackey have been lights-out for the most part. Santana's BB/K ratio is 39/150. F-Rod pretty much has Bobby Thigpen's save record within reach (45 to 57). The addition of Teixeira not only takes A LOT of pressure of Vlad, something the Halos have needed for several seasons now, but it also gives them one of the most feared 1-2 punches in all of MLB.

You can upgrade the stock spool bearings to ABEC 5 ceramics. Check out www.smoothdrag.com. Set #12 will fit your Zillion. Here you can also purchase the carbontex drag upgrade. Well worth it, and not too expensive.

I see you have the 7' M rod. The rating on the M rods goes down to 1/8oz. How well does yours cast down to the 1/8oz range? Does it still load easily, etc?

Favre to Jets. http://www.packers.com/news/releases/2008/08/06/2/

NOTA. I've been lovin' Super Silver Thread, Silver Thread AN 40, and Gamma Co-poly.

Knows a good jerkbait when he sees one.

I thought it was Ice-T.

Rush? Lord, the heat must have gotten to your head. ;D

So, does that mean you've already ordered one and it's old news? They say pimpin' ain't easy...shoot...try being a tackle junky! Nah, haven't ordered one. I'm on a bit of a Kistler kick now. With your jig and worm rods already decided and on-deck...it's a blast to shop in the ultra competitive middle rod market for my spinnerbait, chatterbait, fluke, etc. rods to do my 'dirty' work. Amen Natural, probably the most fun I have tackle shopping. This is where I go for the bling. Although, one couldn't pry the boring old ho-hum BCR's from my cold dead hands.

Happy cake day Gidget.

Has me on the verge of purchasing a Chronarch Mg 51.

Yea, I scratched my head too when I saw that. My $ is better spent elsewhere...like a GLX BCR.

Sounds good to me, the Crew gained a game after pummeling the Braves 9-0. It feels good to finally be on the other side of that 0.

Well played Sir, well played.
