Panama,..you are dating yourself,...that's some old school stuff right there!! ;D

Try that now with a mix of bucktail and marabou (also, 2 long pieces of peacock hurl in the mix, look just like antenae)

Aside from ease of use, this is a HUGE factor here on our very clear lake. Much more important than even line size is casting distance "Long cast, gets the bass" I get my chops busted quite a bit because since coming to BR, I have been fishing my honey hole rather exclusively, using spinning gear rather exclusively. After doing so, I can't remember why I ever bought baitcasters before. Don't get me wrong, they definately have their places. Flippin/pitchin is non existant at our lake and this is pretty much the only thing I would use a b/c for nowadays. I often get the argument that they are "weaker". I think not. I can tow a boat with some of the reels I have. I just love spinning gear.

Only thing better than making friends is appreciating them. In time, they become family and a man with a big family is a wealthy one. BR is the epitomy of "share the wealth"

We sure ain't goin' out cruisin twin Lambos! lol Say when Robert. Are there any manufacturers that sell boats stock w/ a hot foot?

I swear, if we put together a BR womens team, .....it would be the best looking group of female angler's out there. Byron and got chit on us!!!

Good Mornin' Captain. I had noticed you havn't around as much but didn't know you weren't feeling well. Hope you are getting back into your groove and feeling better. Catch 'em up!

8.2 lbs caught with one of these

I feel like one of the kids,...back in the neighborhood,...5 days before christmas.

Class Act.

Many people aren't aware but Glenn also is in product development and has made a splicing converter that allows bandwidth capabilities to remain balanced whether i'ts a left handed or right handed shifter. Nice stuff. Also, unlike any other site out there, we have dual, balanced, harmonic immersion invertors. These run with almost 5.5 farad of back up. THANKS BOSS!! SWEEET!

Dave's your man.

They pick whoever they want. No list. bass boy- See the sticky in "General Bass Fishing" called "please pass the mojo"

Absolutely, last time we talked, he convinced me to try the Remy Martin XO, great call, love it. Smooth off the lip and zero memory. Thanks Buddy!! For ALL you do!!

Glenn had some stuff to do. As far as I can tell, he adjusted the front sway bar, installed a left handed smoke shifter and updated the P-chip.

HUMBLED? HUMBLED? This is the grand total of 5 days on that monster. 1 dink. I guess I'm sayin'...."It could have been worse! lol Same as us, many guides zero'd during the time we were there so I didn't feel retarded but....I sure felt inadequate!! I appreciate the report back for sure!!

Gotta be better fishin than this!! 9:40am here in RI The bay is just over that treeline

I'm thinking Jon was the guy that built the first one. :) ;D They arose from the needs of river working folk. Somthing with minimal draft, beachable, stabler than a canoe and bulletproof compared to previous wooden alternatives. Essentially a river system work vessel.

THIS is another option. The stability comes mainly from width and depth. The older boats like mine and fishbears are generally stabler than the newer models. They were built deeper and wider in shorter models. For example, the avg 12' is 36" wide (the narrowest model today) Back when mine was made, 40" was the narrowest model. An entire platform is not always needed, like with my boat. If I fished alone often I would deck the front 1/2 of my boat but I always fish with a buddy ,kid or chick so keeping a 2 seat set-up is key for me. There is no "better" seat in my boat.

I use 2 colors Natural dark Natural light (not the beer, although "beer", would be a good color too) lol

A big thing to remember here is CARE. Many garments are great as long as you maintain them. Some fail miserably when neglected.

Replaced my endura 55 in minutes, no questions. Was 3 weeks old and the speed selector switch had no 4th or 5 th setting. Only clicked 3 times in forward.

Yes, he definately represented well also. Well done.

I have a bunch of 'autograph cards' that they give out at conventions etc. I have Clunn's, signed. He's not holding his signature outfit, not even close.

Welcome back CP.
