Favorie Braid for Spinning Reel
Any reason you prefer the Fireline braid as opposed to the Fused Fireline, which is optimized for spinning reels? fused frays and comes apart.braid lasts longer.braid is easier to get tangles out of.my wife prefers fused. for the life of me i can't understand why anyone would use outdated powerpro when there are lines like sufix 832,diawa samurai and fireline braid out there. I've got like 2000 yards of 20, 50, and 65 still. I'm not chucking out what works perfectly well. I have 50# Tracer on a jig rod. Its quiet, but that's about all I see. I do like the visibility of it. Fused? I used to use 14# Crystal on a spinning rig for casting spoons for trout and salmon. That line held up very well, as long as there was no abrasion. The only reason I switched back to copoly for this was freezing temps. Superlines + freezing = bad time.

Dream Car
My friend says he can jump from 50 to 70 with a little goose of the throttle, and it doesn't even downshift, and that's towing a 20' boat LOL. All that low end torque!

Storing KVD Line Conditioner
10 seconds or so in the nuke should get those bottle right.

Using braid with a flouro leader?? Let's hear it folks!!!
If abrasion is your concern, then use leader material. That can be expensive, though.

Get a couple of cheap, used kayaks. Add some rod holders, and you're in business.

Fishing trends...drive me crazy!!!
As far as fly fishing for carp...... ehhh. LOL. You guys can post up all the pics and accolades about how smart they are, and what a battle..... One of my last fish from the kayak last year was a 33lb. beast caught on my ml drop shot rod. Stupid thing ate Gulp minnow meant for a perch. The one good thing about that catch is my new found respect for InvisX 6 lb. I wailed on that fish, and the line didn't break. Carp are annoying. They disturb spawning bass. Scare other fish away. And scare the crap out of me when they are spawning. I curse the stupid people that brought these pests here.

Fishing trends...drive me crazy!!!
Have you ever fly fished for carp? Waded the shallows, see one tailing? Made the perfect cast, only for him to turn up his nose at it? Then made a perfect cast, seen the barely detectable take, set the hook, and watched 30 yards of line zing off your fly reel in 5 seconds? http://carponthefly.blogspot.com/ Cute baby you got there 4Bizz.

Dream Car
I'm going 3/4 ton chevy diesel crew cab next. Great move, especially if you tow a lot. I regret not getting the four door. I like the look of mine, but doing the "suicide door shuffle" with the kids gets old. So I guess my true dream car is my truck in a crew cab, LOL. Have you seen the plans for a small diesel for the 1/2 ton platforms? Looks pretty sweet.

Stradic CI4 Spool

Quality??
Dude, go ahead. Many up here use them on their centrepin rods. in freezing temp, you just mash the ice out of them. That's their best application if you ask me.

Fourbizz, your picture is now world famous!
LMAO ;D ;D ;D

Swimming Super Flukes
So catching an 8 lb. largemouth wasn't enough to tell you that you got the rigging right? Sounds like you got it right to me. Good job!

If you're gonna use a leader, use the right knot.....Alberto

Flick'n technique
Ironic that a worm with its own built in action would have a name like "Flick-Shake," which are verbs. ;D You can let them drop, and I do just that sometimes, but then its just a weighted worm. The show is in the shaking.

what hooks do you put on 1/2 oz red eye shads?
LOL, I've heard much worse advice.

Help! Replacing the Level wind and pall in my BPS Extreme
Use and dirt kills them. That, and physical damage. I've learned over time to just replace the worm shaft and pawl in one shot.
