I'll agree that the senko is expensive. But it's NOT overrated in my book. IMHO I'll also say that $15+ cranks are overrated. Sure they work. But my $4 bombers and 7$ Rapalas work just as good.

I usually add a little red with a paint marker. You don't have to coat it with anything, but it will come off after a little use.

Now that's funny ;D

Well I should have read the "lip material" post earlier... Thanks anyways

Thanks a million guys

Congrats on those fine looking fish!

Not the precut lips. I want a whole sheet so I can cut my own. Thanks

Great Job Mods and especially to the boss. Now BR makes the rest of the internet seem slow. ;D

Well thanks avid. "I'm just doing my job"

BR was down? Other than having three major heart attacks, of course. I'm talking internet wise. Did you visit any other site. I joined tackle underground. Didn't make any posts, but read a heck of a lot of great information.

Muddy tried to help...

Whoo. I'm glad it wasn't a big one. It's glad to hear your alright. I live on the New Madrid fault. Just waiting... ;D

Amen to that. LBH, it's great to hear every thing's going well.

Great Job Glenn!!

Devcon 2 Ton epoxy. It's extreamly durable. Mix it up, brush it on and then put your lure on a drying wheel (or sling it around with a pair of pliers). It'll give you a nice clean, clear, hard finish.

How about..... "UPS drivers replaced with robotic trucks"

Very nice craftsmanship Josh

: Great stuff frogtog...just great ;D

Hey Avid...I thought you were communist ;D

what's the general answer? ;D That would be "only you can answer that question" As far as guides go, if you can afford them, go for it. Even for a day, they can help you understand the lake better.

After John's ethical post (sorry john, I think I was a little aggressive and for that I give you my apologies), It got me thinking. On any other board that thread would have spiraled out of control and be filled with cursing and everything else. So I think that it shows us just how many quality guys we have here on the forum, who are willing to debate in a civilized manner and them put there differences behind them to help each other. So that being said, Kudos to everyone!

My name is hookemdown. I have been nagged constantly.... ;D

Ahhh, the good ol' days Well, here's my two cents' worth. I like you John am a teenager. I've seen ponds and a local lake completely OVERRUN with snappers. It's had a pretty bad effect not only on fishing but the entire ecosystem of the area's as well. In your original post, I'll agree with LBH in that you were trying to sound "macho" when you shot the turtle. So here's my thoughts, The snappers are natural critters. But guess what...WE are natural critters too. It's our responsibility to not only respect and admire these animals but also control the population of them. However, I don't think a shotgun was the right choice. (But a quick death from a shotgun is still a heck of alot better than the turtle traps I've stumbled upon that contained starved to death turtles.) Did that turtle deserve to die... of course not. But was it necessary to maintain a healthy habitat...that's on you bud. Now Matt....About the deer hunting... I don't consider a 250 yard shot squeezed between brush with the wind blowing 30+ while it's about 10 below outside easy.(But just to let you know, I too NEVER take a low percentage shot) Also, as for thinking that deer hunting is fair. No, it's not. I'll give the advantage to the deer any day. You might not have thought that that deer knew that you were there, but chances are that he knew something was up. I've seen deer pick up my sent from 100 yards away. I've seen them pick up my slightest movements as I position for a shot. I don't consider deer hunting a sport. I consider it a passion. It's a chance to relive the activities of our ancestors while being in the great outdoors. But... ;D I respect your decision not to pursue deer hunting, after all, it's your decision. This may have just been my longest post in the history of BassResource.com. ;D

Or that'll work too, it also creates a good environment for bugs, snakes, ticks, and other critters in the high grass. And the fun part is when the grass reaches above head level, you can easily play 'hide and go seek'! ;D ;D ;D Three men enter...only one returns :-/ ;D
