It's not a new concept. Nothing against Powell tackle, but if the gear is not backed by the manufacturer, I will not invest in it. A-Jay

An Overtime Super Bowl Loss ~ J you're just Evil. A-Jay

Have you tried coloring it with a Sharpie ? A-Jay

I can not provide an answer for you on this, sorry. But I do have a question; would a plastic covering over the tungsten negate some of the "sensitivity" advantage tungsten has over lead ? A-Jay

Thanks Goose. A-Jay

I do "fill the spool", but is also use backing. A-Jay

AFC ~ I'm going with New England. NFC ~ I'm going with New York, only because I'm hoping the Patriots can even the score from 2007. A-Jay

Anyone using this style box for the larger deep diving crankbaits ? http://www.lakemichi..._Tackle_Box.htm A-Jay

For spinning reels, I use the spare spool. I Spool the spare first with the desired amount of braid and then complete the fill with backing (mono for me). Then switch to the primary spool and simply reel all the line from the spare to the reel. Backing will be right and your spool will be properly filled with braid. Then I fill the spare spool with flourocarbon. For casting reels; I have several of the same make / model, so I use the process described above with two reels vice two spools. The last reel is filled with mono or flourocarbon. The amount of top shot braid each angler uses varies. For me, the length of 2 very long casts is sufficient. I've never had a bass spin off so much drag that I was even close to seeing the backing. So I see no reason to put 100 yards of braid on my reel. However, a few big pike have made me ensure that the uniknot between the two, is tied correctly. Hope this helps. A-Jay

Fluke or a swimbait. A-Jay

I've seen that bear up the tree footage once before but that radio controlled Jet was Outrageous ! A-Jay

I have a couple and have taken both green & brown bass on them. It's a sweet little bait, casts well and makes a heck of a racket. I often throw them at night when the jitterbug bite is slow. The larger one is a pike magnet. A-Jay

This is true ~ A-Jay Watch me pull this Rabbit out of his hole ! 200 lbs of dog and a foot and a half of snow ~

After New England dropped a serious Hurt Bomb on Denver Saturday, this little anecdote was floating around facebook ~ God asks Aaron Rodgers: "What do you believe?" Rodgers says, "I believe in hard work, and in staying true to family and friends.” God can't help but see the goodness of Rodgers and offers him a seat to his left. Then God turns to Tim Tebow and says, "What do you believe?" Tebow says, "I believe in your total goodness, love and generosity and that you have given all to mankind.” God is greatly moved by Tebow’s eloquence, and offers him a seat to his right. Finally, God turns to Tom Brady: "And you, Tom, what do you believe?" Tom replies, "I believe you're in my seat."

See - So it's not just Me ! A-Jay

Sounds like good times were had by all. Sorry I missed it, maybe next year. A-Jay

Nice Bass and a Great Smile ! Congrats A-Jay

Yea - but so did Sponge Bob Square Pants and he lives in a pineapple under the sea ! A-Jay - man this is a long winter . . . . . . . . . .

I routinely try to approach and fish that kind of cover from down wind and / or down current ( providing there is any). That way, it's easier to keep from being blown down onto the fish and my bait will approach the fish head first which may be a more natural presentation. Good Luck A-Jay

"I’m going to raise the energy of the universe and send out all the good mojo,” Lorelei told the Boston Herald. Man - this lady has mad skills but where the heck was she in 2007 ? A-Jay

btw - If you were looking to drop a hurt bomb, you could kick that hook up to something like the Owner Wide Gap Plus or that Laser Trokar Flippin hook - that thing is like a Gaff ! A-Jay

Look at you ! Nice work - looks stury enough for a "casting" style bait. I'd recommend attaching various line tests and types (braid & flouro) to the bait and someting solid. Then conduct a little R & D to find out where the weak link is - the hook, the rig/ring and at what lb test the rig would detach from the hook. Better to find out "on the bench" rather than on a Hawg. Additionally, please observe All Saftey Precautions. (that was my disclaimer) A-Jay

Yo Lund - I'm all about the right ride (Sierra Denali AWD). I am going to chose to avoid the Michigan highways and by ways at this time as it's "the Other Guy / Gal " that might not be quite prepared for these rather challenging (treacherous) road contitions. A-Jay

That's a pretty funny video - Jimmy Fallon does a good job on that. As for the game - I'm a Pats fan. Back when New England had players who actually played Defense, I was less worried during playoff games. But when I combines the last few playoff losses with the Heart breaker in 2007, I have serious doubt going into all of these games. How many times can they spot teams so many points and still come back to win ? Though the majority of fans and "analyists" alike are predicting the Pats to win this by a pretty good margin, I am Far less confident and believe it's more like a 50 / 50 deal. Could go either way. I'd love to see the Pats Hammer them, not because I dislike Denver or Tim Tebow, Just to advance to the next game. But I would not be too surprised if The Bronco's get to Brady Early and Often and the Denver running game gets going to where New England has to put more players on the line and then TT heaves a few over their heads - just like the Steelers game.
