Mine are organized by what rod I throw them with. Then the typical groups above are used to organize. Some rods may have three boxes of baits that go with it. There's also some crossover.

Good too see everyone getting their fiber, lol.

It'll be a perfect date night place with the lady.

That look got me that 12" wuhan pictured above, lol. It's deadly in the right situation.....

The Bills are paying $10/hour + tickets for people willing to shovel out the Ralph, lol.

Sounds like I have a plans for Friday, after work.

I often "crank" by moving the rod, not the reel, so I can better feel and react to cover the bait is contacting. In that case, gear ratio, torque, handle length, etc. matters little.

<Sad-Face>

Width would have an effect on how much IPT changes as line is retrieved, and fills the spool, not depth....

I love a good Rivers sideline meltdown.

You know it, lol.

1-10, how do you rate the new F&S? Haven't had a chance to check it out.

It's a perfect match with a Ragetail's Bama Craw color.

About as close as I can get to $100 is my flipping stick: Deep South XXH flipping stick, used Flea Market purchase: $80 Daiwa TD-X 103HSDL Flip/Pitch, used eBay: $40

Do those exotic wraps above the fore grip offer some functionality? I most often see them on heavier boat or trolling rods. Surfcasters tend to have them too.

Your gonna love them, dude. They are SO MUCH NICER than the brands you mentioned. A quick word: there's a TON of guys hand making great jigs, and just about all of them are better than what you find on the shelves, and probably equal to what Northstar and Siebert offer, but Northstar and Siebert keep the free opinions flowing on BassResource.com. If there's a reason beyond just the baits themselves to help convince you to try them out, that's a big one for me. I don't use the sponsor products because I have to. I use them because I want to. Many, I was already using anyway (Megastrike, Catch & Release, Hawgtech, Ragetail....).

Lol, no, they're Chinese, Turkish, US, and Italian made. Only the best!

Yep, Gander in Henri...that place not the greatest. I find it hard to believe that ALL the rods got abused - a few of mine never hit the racks on the sales floor. At any rate, good to hear Kistler is taking care of their customers, now. I could care less what they're doing now - I've found rods I like and are for the most part durable.

Don't get me started on more cowbell, lol.... got at least a dozen of the darn things lying around.

Been on a more expensive kick the past few weeks: cymbal monkey got me.

Reels: Daiwa, Quantum, Zebco, Okuma, Pinnacle, Shimano, Megabass Rods: Shimano, Saint Croix, Pinnacle, Okuma, Dobyns, Deep South, Browning, Custom

It should be fine, though a little long for my taste.

You're kidding, right? LOL. I have a question: For What? Makes a difference as to what to recommend.

That's all we got here as well, Dwight.

Helium, graphite plus, and some other higher end "TS" maybe? Can't remember. They were nice rods to fish with. They just didn't last.
