OK Bass Hunter

Now what am I gonna do at work all day tomorrow?

Conquest 300/400 when it comes out.

Start with a Rapala DT-4 in Bluegill or Silver or RedCraw. It's a good bait to get started with.

I have a Calcutta 100 silver that I would let go for $80 shipped. A little more than you stated but the extra $30 is worth it.

Put it on your home insurance, lower your deductible and fish away.

I have some sand in the springs and it might affect the weight but I wouldn't go 10, lol.

Most people don't really have an idea what 6 pounds look like.

As for me, I will continue to overpay so as to fill that void that is in my soul, lol. Stick a JDM sticker on that Cherrywood and charge me $250, I'm buying it.

I'm in.

I have 2 of the 7'-4" models and I am desperately looking for 2 more. One of the best rods I have ever used. A great jig and soft plastic rod.

Tackle Warehouse

My buddy Will is the best to fish with. I gather all the information from here and tell him what I've learned and he catches the bigger fish. Seems I'm a better coach than player.

I wish I had done it on purpose. It was early and I was still half asleep.

New member to the family. new to me that is. Looks good except for one blemish. And I stepped on the box this morning.

Ugly Stiks by a country mile.

No, just getting started on buying swimbaits. That's a dangerous path to go down. Probably looking at another 3-4 years of buying sporadically.

Lefties are the children of the devil or at least that's how they made me feel when they made me write with my right hand as a child. So my body is now left oriented and I'm right handed. So I understand where you're coming from. I just started learning to flip and pitch and think a left handed reel is in the future for me.

I will have to check them out also.

With the exchange rate the way it is. The new conquest can be had for $395.24. It's so tempting. http://jpangler.com/index.php/reel/shimano-bait-casting.html

If that rig works for strippers, let me know. These dollar bills aren't doing the job for me.

My goal is to learn something new every time I'm on the water or confirm some theory I crafted during my off water research time.

That is impressive.

It is very bad to drink Jobu's rum.

I play customer service rep almost every time I go into my local Bass Pro. The only knowledgable guys are behind the reel counter. The other reps walking the floor are non-fisherman.

In the process of putting it together right now. Shimano Calcutta Conquest 250 TE DC Megabass Black Jungle Super Red Demon http://www.***.com/Megabass_Destroyer_Black_Jungle_Casting_Rods/descpage-MDBJ.html
