Can we send Lovie back to Texas, , he is killing my beloved BEARS. Sorry had to join the fun.

I mostly jig tipped with minnow heads or spikes. What is nice about these are the weight transfer system. Some of the other spring bobbers like what Frabil sells are not good for heavier weights and are only good for panfish. These are suitable for heavier weights so you can use for other species. What is nice about these is at times it is hard to detect the bite if the fish goes up with the bait. These will detect that type of strike.

http://easybite.net/ I started using these last year. They are awesome for a light bite. You weight them so you can actually feel a negative bite. They are a bit expensive both will increase your hookup ratio tremendously.

Last I heard Muddy was asleep on the beach in Jamaica wearing a Walkman during low tide. I hope he wakes up before the high tide. Please do not ask me anymore. Grasshopper's photograph well.

Second Time?

My God does one play make the Redskins 3-9 or 4-8 really matter. For that matter does it matter if the Saints are 11-1 or 12-0. The only differnace is that one goes to the playoff and the other goes home.

I thought it was Romo and December but he played a decent game. Maybe he left his calender at home.

Does this make it less painful? http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1260121561

Here is a previous topic on this that you may find of value. http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1255531765/0

No problem I will still buy their products. Dan was a great guy helped me with a warranty situation and other items.

Whipped is whipped, call it what you want. Should be a good Superbowl with the Colts and Saints.

For Bass related I like BASSIN. Good articles by the Pros.

Nothing fishes through the ice like a Vexilar. I would never fish without mine unless I am in 3-5 feet of water. Next to my rods this is the most importnat ice fishing equipemnt I own.

I would also agree with this. The question is general so no matter what the situation calls for in lure type, this is much more important.

They are bad in the Illinois River. I have fished the river and had these carp jump out of the water about in the boat. Motor noise seems to cause them to jump into boats. It is so bad down near Peoria, IL that boaters are wearing helmets as these have hit fisherman in the head at high speeds. I have caught these up to 18 lbs fishing for bass. They will readily hit a crankbait and are fierce fighters.

I really do not know the skill set required for these folks nor the criteria for placing them in a wage scale. This is how you need to approach this. 1) Understand the wage scale, is it based solely on time in service, hopefully not, or based strictly on skill set then performance based, preferred method. 2) Once the wage scale is understood this may allow for a better understanding of why this man is paid more or why he is overpaid. 3) It his skill set dictates that he should be paid more perform a special performance review with the the co-workers. Set goals for them to strive for and a time period to accomplish these goals. If the goals are met it will be a win-win situation both for the co-worker and the company in a monetary sense. Have HR clearance for this. If not then truly the only problem you have is to hold this co-worker accountable for his pay scale. Being paid more means his performance in all disciplines exceed all expectations, as this mistake is not yours this is the best way to handle this. In the past I have been faced with these types of situations and have handled it in this manner. In the end everyone benefited. At times it meant that some were replaced but for the most part this was a good team building exercise and paid dividends. Handled correctly this will provide an outstanding outcome. Make sure these goals are SMART Goals. S= Specific M= Measurable A= Attainable R= Relevant T= Timely Hope this helps Brian.

I always have my Case Tiny Toothpick Stag Handle with me at all times.

This month's In-Fisherman has an article on this technique. Seems to me it should work well.

Why would you list it then, I believe you have been misinformed. I had Compre in both BC and spinning and I would not consider them whippy at all. http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1258865175 Leo, I heard someone say HIS Compre was whippy. And I posted that before I heard that. Is the spinning 6'8" MXF a little stiff? That's what I want. I have a 7 foot MXF Spinning and a 6 ft 8 inch MHXF Casting. Bith are suitable for Jigs and Plastices so I would not say they are too whippy.

You are a young guy, women come and go. Get out there and fish.

Great news, we need to here more like this. Could not ask for a better time, something to be Thankful for as the holidays approach.

Ha Ha no Mudbugs for you Tin. The Pats played the Jets last week.

Happy Thanksgiving and glad your Daughter-In-Law and grandchildren are safe Catt.
