I heard Megastrike for slicking your hair back, and a little JJ's on the wrists and behind the ears was the trick.

Two things, best case that will heal up in a month or so, and worst case you are introducing the risk of a fungus or bacterial infection. If it's a private pond, and you already can identify the fish, what is the purpose of marking it?

Small mouth, big girth, well fed, fast growth rate. Here's one from a managed, and fed population:

We'd be sicker if all this great tackle wasn't profitable for the makers, and it went away.

I try to be kind always in my day to day life. I don't need any recognition, nor do I need to advertise. Kids make it easy to be kind. It's the jerks out there that are the challenge. Be kind to them, and they might surprise you.

I've had them for around 5 years. I have a few other nice sticks, SC LTB, Pinnacle DHC7, but most of my others are from the Avid line. I'm more likely to drop coin on a reel. I have more rods than I will ever need.

I won a 60% off coupon for a Dobyns rod in a tournament. I picked up a 744c and 745c in the Champion Extreme line. Man, they are nice to fish. I wouldn't have spent retail for them. I have tasted the forbidden fruit, lol.

I definitely relate, and most of my rigs are a couple hundred to $500 less. Isn't that funny, spend too little, not good enough. Spend too much, elitist. None of tat could be further from the truth for the person using the gear. It's qwhy people defend their choices so fiercely.

This is a charging system, not a lithium battery.

I don't mind negative reviews, but a great deal of them are based on misuse of a product. "I bought this, and it was terrible at that." Well, it wasn't designed for that. Vanish gets beat up pretty bad here, yet it remains one Berkley's best selling lines. Why? It's very good walleye and panfish jigging line. I have a friend that fishes for BIG smallies on Erie, and has no issues drop shotting with 8# Vanish. I've seen it in person, him landing a 6+ after my PB 5-12. But, I bet you take that line and start skipping senkos under docks and in some cover, and there will be trouble. I think the important part to read into is what the reviewer was doing with the product, and why their experience was positive or negative.

Just curious, what brand? As mentioned, GYCB, Ragetail, and Keitech are a few that seem to always get this right.

You want to get this. Very good producer.

There's some fish you can tell aren't in the mood, others are, and I'll definitely throw at them.

I don't know, I catch a lot of pond bass that I can see.

YouTube is probably the easiest.

You need to take the second link. I foxed it for your. Nice one as well.

That mouth, though! That's a nice fish!

There are a lot of good hand tied jigs out there, but Mike's service and personal attention to each order is above the rest.

Holy hell!

That's a roller coaster ride for sure.

I have a 40 year old 33 that works like a charm. I replaced a brass bush with a bearing, so it's a one ball bearing reel, lol. I did get a Daiwa Goldcast, as an upgrade for my queen.

Rem Oil will work for bearings. The oil doesn't necessarily need to be marketed as a reel oil. One of my favorites, Oust Metol is for skateboard bearings. TSI 321, another top tier oil was developed for NASA. For general use, Cal's drag grease or Shimano Star Grease for gears and moving parts, and Shimano Bantam Oil or ReelX are very good, easy to find choices.
