"Flechero" builds my rods. I'm working on saving up now for a nice topwater rod. From the site, I also recommend Reelmechanic or DG rod works (same guy) We've seen quite a few rods from these guys, awesome stuff. Rod by Flechero

Seriously?? We never had someone throw so much BS here that they became famous for it,lol Till Mr B came along.

Love the new Avatar Scott!! ;D

Love the new avatar Scott!! ;D

Thanks Carl.....only 6 days to go.....unless of course, I get a reprieve from Governor KU_Bassmaster. Love the avatar Scott!!

Carl, when I first got into freshwater, a remote (key word here) Pike trip would have been my drwam trip. I Your description just rekindled THAT one! Ronnie- As long as I get my 130+, I'll tailor mine to fit yours,lol. Maybe throw in a sailfish or 2 for good measure?

or if you catch real fish,...her eyes It's as simple as that

Stuck in the house for one day and you have cabin fever already!! You'd never cut it up north amigo!! ;D I thought for sure that you would find a spot to throw "pontificate" in there somewhere......

Let's hear what your 1 dream trip would be. No restrictions, not geography, money, anything. Where would you go. (One answer per person please) My dream trip would be for 130+lb Tarpon on the fly in Fla. The size of the fish, the method of catching them,...it's all very majestic to me,...real fishing. (Not to mention you don't have to travel for 20 hrs to get there )

I think ronnie has tipped on something only a biologist could answer fully and unquestionabley but my opinion is that Ronnie is dead on and to expound on that a little.... Rain adds oxygen Rising water washes food up from it's hiding places new currents, delivering food Falling barometer. This is just a short lisft of the positives associated with rain. My opinion is that sometimes, it's a combination of factors weighed against another combination. lower temps just aren't as big of a negative as all of the positives combined. They outweigh the one negative.

Great minds think alike,lol

I think Raul summed it up nicely. Bizz- you're top 20 are bigger than most people top 20 on any baits. When most think of using "bigger baits", they usually are referring to 10" worms, 6" Spooks,etc. A "Big" bait to bizz would be anything over a foot. ;D

Tin, rework your numbers, if you are buying actual "senkos", you are paying more like 69.5 cents each, not .60. You are saving more than you think. El Grande, I 'd love to hear how those flukes perform for you, are they exact?

Here's a cool opportunity for the guys going. You guys can track your 5 best fish of the day and then go see the FLW results and see how you would have done if you were in the tourny!!

I have one going into it's 2nd season. Best reel I ever bought for $130,...on all fronts. Flawless.

Fish looks short for a 50 but....scale doesn't lie. If they are going for documentation, I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Time will tell.

That nagging "I can't believe I just paid that much" feeling you get when you buy from Yamamoto....

So is Circuit City but they can't beat BrandsMart. ?? Um,...no, they're not. For a list of our sponsors, click here

And with Delo's being one of our new sponsors for '08, that should make that decision an easy one

Question- How are companies addressing the growing number of youth looking for sponsorship? What are some of the things that youth , in particular, can do to further their ambitions specifically, what do you look for personally that would qualify a youth to be a part of your program?

+4 well, looky there, ....it DOES pay to have great customer service.

I plan on showing why a poll like this is irrelevant. stay tuned, first video of the yr will show countless fish, caught 1 after the other, changing color each time. 1 color-1 fish and change the color. I could prove myself wrong but I'm convinced that much like a topwater, they are hitting the action and not the color. STAY TUNED

It doesn't so much matter whether there is ice on top or not to them, it's about the metabolism and what it does in a 25-35 degree environment. They are all but sleeping right now,lol.

Use the articles in the toolbar above. There are some great seasonal pattern articles in there

I just got this email from Billy Raymond Hey Russ, Just wanted to make you aware of a special sponsorship episode that's coming up on BassFeed. This is a hot topic with just about every angler from weekenders to top pros. Unfortunately, it seems like there is a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding out there. For that reason, I've invited Tom Branch Jr from Fish Harder Companies (Tru-Tungsten, Picasso Lures, et al) to come on the show and answer questions submitted by listeners and forum users. I'm writing you because I'd like to invite the BassResource community to participate. It's a popular topic in the BR forums, so I'm betting that group could come up with some good questions. If you have any questions you'd like to ask, just list it here and Billy will be monitoring this thread looking for questions he can use.
