Live Bait
Thanks for the replys. I tried a 3in shad out on a drop shot rig yesterday. Caught 3 on the shad, then caught 4 more on artificial lures. There wasn't a real difference in size between the fish caught on live and artificial, but from what I've heard, I need to stick with it to land the big ones. I'll keep you updated. Danke

What makes a Senko a Senko
Some people will argue that any other stickbait will work just as well as a senko, and it might just do that for them. But in my experience, like many others, a senko will just flat out outfish tiki stiks, dingers, etc. I notice that the senko is softer than others. Is that what makes it better? Why doesn't other companies try to replicate it more precisely? Is the formula a secret, or does GYCB have a patent? Danke

Hummingbird Side-Imaging
I saw it on a fishing show (can't remember which one) What they showed, made me want to go rob a bank and buy about 50 of them. Very SWEET piece of equipment. I better stop dreaming now, drool is getting on my keyboard.

Live Bait
I've really wanted to try out some live bait (shiners, shad) at a local lake. But the only way i've ever fished it is in moving water. Do you rig them different for non-moving water? Also, has anyone fished the Packaged "dead bait" that you can find in stores like Walmart?

Ever dream that your fishing?
Avid, the last time that happened I was five. I think

Jim Zumbo Resigns!
Actually the 7.62x39 round (AK's and SKS's) is in the hands of many hunters today. It's sometimes called the "poor man's deer rifle". My Uncle gave me an SKS that was used in Vietnam. It is a VERY reliable, fairly accurate rifle, and the 7.62 round is heavy enough to drop anything within 100 yrds. I do however, get sick at my stomach sometimes when I think that that rifle might have killed some of our own servicemen though.

Crankbait terms: Hunt and Search
Are there certain lures that you prefer when using this technique? Like a manns -1 or something similar?

Rod finish
Thanks, i pretty much did what you said, continuing to turn it for about 4 hrs. I'm pleased with the results so far, it being my first one. Probably post pics in the next few days. Tight Wraps ( I've always wanted to say that )

have you ever caught a bass twice??
I've done it by missing a fish on a buzzbait, then tossing in a worm or a jig in the area. Do you think it increases you chances of catching the same fish if you switch lures?

Rod finish
I'm building my first rod, as some of you already know. I've done everything exept apply the rod finish over the wraps. Instructions say to rotate the blank 90 degrees every 15 minutes after you apply. but it doesn't say how long it will take for the finish to dry. Can a newb get a little help? thanks

LEAST favorite brand
well, I live in Arkansas, home of the biggest fish in the world (I wish). I'll show you the pics..... wait...my dog just ate them. Sorry. Anyway, the only triline I hardly ever use is the Big game and the XL. Both good lines in my opinion.

question about ipod and podcast.
Most of them, if not all of them, are free. There's one called Bass Edge that I really like. Look around, they got thousands of them.

Help me choose
Well, I really don't have anything else to do on spring break. (Noting that I have to get braces on monday :'( I guess it's a small price to pay) Anyway, ordered a kit from Cabelas yesterday Just one of their cheaper, plain, graphite kits. Specs: SP 601B 6' 1 Moderate to Fast L 2-8 1/16 - 3/8 .328 5.5 We'll see how it turns out. I'll probably be posting a "Tell me what I did wrong" thread next week

The "I did not like 300" sign up list
Well, I went and watched it today, but I guess it just wasn't my kind of movie. Also, I wouldn't really call it and epic, as it's really played out like a comic book. But the most thing that really pushed my buttons was the computer generated stuff. I don't know, I just like the older movies. If you want a real story (I know it's loosely based, but it's more accurate then 300) watch Braveheart...over and over again. But that's just my humble opinion. Any other "haters"

Thanks, I never would of guessed that cabelas would have rodbuilding kits. Danke

Well, if you haven't hear, Cardinal's manager Tony LaRussa just go arrested for a DUI. Now I'm a die hard Red Sox fan, but this happening to any respectable person in baseball just makes me sick. What do you think? http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Sports/20070322-091040-7819r/
