I use it all the time! In fact, here's a few videos I did on the topic.

Ya, so let's stop bringing this one up, shall we? And scene...

Here's how to Texas rig, followed by a video on how to prevent your lures from getting all tore up. Enjoy!

3 months is about the average for a custom order. It's a small shop, all made in America. Good quality.

I've been using Smackdown for over 2 years now without any issues. No digging, nothing "wearing off" nor any discoloration except for minor fading near the end of the season. Hope that helps!

Those are some TOADS in that video! Had to watch the whole thing!

And here ya go!

Thanks for the assist guys!

The videos on the site haven't changed, and have been encoded the same way for several years. The encoding is compatible with a wide range of mobile devices. If they suddenly stopped playing for you, then something happened on your end. Sorry, I know that's not much help.

RippinLips57 - you're on the right track. It's all about the hookset. It's a common problem. Here's how to solve it:

^^ This ^^ I explain it here ...

Simple answer: don't use leaders. I never used them, and never will. Another knot is just another weak spot that can fail. As for FC memory - I've never had that issue with Tatsu or Fluoro Finesse line. I think Seaguar figured out a way to eliminate that problem. And why not? After all, they're the ones that invented fluorocarbon fishing line.

Nobody complained when it was in New Orleans....except the anglers that made the 2 1/2hr boat ride (one way) all the way to Venice and back. But that wasn't a "city" thing. Same thing with Birmingham (long trips to Lay lake and Guntersville). Another "big city", but no complaints. No, I think the "real" issue is that some folks just want it near their home so they can attend. That makes the most sense to me.

I fly - A LOT - and long ago learned to never fly United or American. Those always rank at or near the bottom of every airline quality poll every time. From poor on-time records to terrible customer service, to lost baggage, they are the worst. That said, ALL airlines overbook their flights. A practice I feel should be severely limited/regulated or eliminated altogether. Never heard of any other industry getting away with that practice. Could you image setting an appointment with your doctor or dentist, or getting a reservation at a restaurant for a special occasion, only to be told, "Oh, we overbooked you and need you to reschedule." ?? Why airlines continue to get away with this practice is beyond me.

I live in a large city. Pop @4 million, including the surrounding communities. I've attending many events where parking was $20, $30, and even $40 - in addition to entry fees! For $15, you got off cheap. Just saying. Most of those events "feature" inconsistent screening processes. It appears the training the screeners receive is brief and not thorough, leaving much open to interpretation to the screeners. It's frustrating, especially for outdoor shows due to hooks, tools, and other items that might be interpreted as "weapons" by screeners. Sadly, it's the norm - even for venues in "smaller towns", but not an issue B.A.S.S. can solve. Just saying. I live in a large city, and never have I heard anyone "talking down" to people living "in the country". Rather, many would love to live in the country and envy those who do. Just saying. I applaud B.A.S.S. for bringing this event to a major city. It not only raises visibility of a sport that many may not know about, but it also grants access to this event to many inner-city youths who often do not get the outdoor opportunities many "country folk" take for granted. If hosting this event in a big city influences even a small number of youths to steer off a bad path, then it's a huge accomplishment. Just saying. Lastly, to call fishing "our sport", assuming "city people" don't belong, and try to create an "us vs. them" mentality only serves to build walls, create divides, and weakens what little voice outdoor sports enthusiasts have against legislature designed to limit access to the outdoor sports we all love. We're all in this together folks. Embrace what we have, rather than making mountains out of molehills. Just saying.

Brain dump time!

Just posted this video for you. Let me know what you think!

See what happens when you forget to lock the door? LOL! Good to see you're doing well Russ. You more than deserve it - you earned it!

Well wouldn't know, there's a video on this very topic!

This is brand new! So new, you can't even buy it yet - and you're the first to see it here!

Congratulations! Looks like you're figuring it out. Here's some tips to help you along...
