Frank Mir
Frank Mir weighed in at 264.5, 20 lbs heavier than his last fight. It really looks like he is getting ready for Mir vs Lesnar 3. I surely hope Brock Lesnar can fight in the UFC again.

favorite fluke?
Bass assassins have the best action of them all. I used to fish Zoom exclusively, tried bass assassins and never looked back. In fact, I took all the bags of zooms and threw them away. The only problem with bass assassins is durability. The plastic is softer than Zoom's.

My new boat
I have a 9' Pond Prowler with a 30lb thrust Minnkota in front and a 3.5hp Mercury in the back. You can fish any size lake with this rig .. it just takes time to get places.

Daiwa Baitcaster Questions
It all depends on your style. I am generally more of a finesse technique in thick cover fisherman and I need a strong reel with good drag to be able to cast light lures. For those applications there is nothing like the Revo STX. I casted the Zillion before and it feels really cheap, but some people swear by it. One thing I can say: If you need an all around reel, no matter what brand you go with, choose what fits your style the best, whether it be an STX, Zillion or Curado.

Bad for plastics? (Rage Tail)
If you would remove the clamshell (and you can), don't just toss the baits in the bag. Arrange them so that they retain their shape, or else they'll soon become worthless.

Owner Hooks... wow
Eagle Claw hooks aren't bad, but they aren't near the quality of Owner or Gamakatsu. The QC just isn't there. Here is Eagle Claw for you: Owners are the best hooks on the market. But I still use Gammys because they are cheaper.

What the hell is up with Yamamoto Flappin' Hawgs?
My local Dick's has 6-7 colors and at least 10-15 bags of each. Are you sure they are not just out of stock? I would believe all Dick's stock with the same merchandise (since they also carry an array of fishing tackle that is completely useless in Florida).

Rodman
I went there last week and got skunked by bass for the first time ever. Caught 4 mudfish, yuck. The water is incredibly dark (for Rodman) and there is a tremendous amount of vegetation everywhere (because of the water being so dark). On that day I saw more than 10 floating fish including bluegill, pickerel and sunfish.

My new favorite flippin/big bass combo.
The teramar is one heavy stick. It is really gonna wear you down if you need to flip all day. A good cheap alternative is a Powell 766.

Colored Bullet Weights
It's really not worth it if you don't have the right rod. If you fish uglysticks and canepoles you probably can't tell the difference. But believe me, use some quality graphite and the difference between lead and tungsten is night and day.
