I've never tried a Zillion, but I really like the AV's. So much so that I've been slowly replacing my aging GLoomis rods with Techna AV's over the past few years. Great rods!

Hard to add to what's already been said, except a BIG THANK YOU to all our men and women in the armed forces, whether current or retired. I can rest peacefully at night because of your sacrifices and dedication.

Congratulations!!

Get a Shimano. Oops, wait. Wrong forum. my mistake! ;D ;D All kidding aside, it sounds like the SX20 is for you. Unless you're making large pictures (i.e. posters), I don't see the need for 14mb resolution. My Cannon has 8mb and it looks great up to 8x10 prints.

What Stasher1 said. You can select the most recent 10, 20, 30, etc. posts. I find it hard to use because every post is out of context of the thread. But give it a whirl and see if it suits your style.

Looks like he landed on his head. OUCH!

;D ;D

I saw somebody try the squirting microphone trick on Tom Cruise once. That didn't go over very well. He about beat the snot out of the guy!

Zorn for GM.

I think Denver played pretty well. It was Orton that fell apart. Seemed he tried to force too many things.

Stryper! ;D ;D

I think it was shown in movie theaters before the movie began.

Congrats to you as well as BassDeaton01 ! Looks like you have years of teaching a child the joys of the outdoors ahead of you!

They've been from all walks of life. Investors, major tackle companies, and venture capitalists. Really it doesn't matter. I'm not interested.

No worries bud, I knew you were joking. But I wanted to clarify to ensure there were no misunderstandings by anyone else.

Huh? My comments have absolutely nothing to do with politics. I don't know who she is. The whole article is based on interviews of convicted felons by a third party. And then they sprinkle in genuine information about viruses in general to make it sound legit. I've seen Faux news do this over and over again on the topic of technology. It seems they feel the Internet should be feared. Yet none of their stories have proven worthy of concern. They have a Chicken Little approach to it - much ado about nothing. Again, speaking specifically about the topics of computers, technology, and the Internet as "reported" by Faux news. I don't watch them on TV, nor follow them on the Internet, so I cannot comment on anything else they do. I only see their stories when somebody brings up yet another wild story about technology they've place on their site....ya, the one on the Internet *gasp*. Within that context, I haven't seen anything worthwhile enough to encourage me to explore them any further.

Because it's Faux news. Especially when it comes to technology "news".

Hey Keith, if it's any solace, I've heard more on the news about the killed and wounded, as well as SGT Munley, than I have about the gunman. Differences in local news coverage, I would guess.

Consider the source. 'nuff said.

It's somebody who used to be here a lot. Not so much these days. So Fo-getaboutit.

I believe so.

Looks like everyone is chiming in with their favorites. And that's to be expected with a question like "what's the best rod?". I highly doubt any of this has been useful to the original poster. ....this thread could be endless. :-/

I think it was an iPod commercial.

Tragic indeed. And really creepy because Fluke, Keri, and I were just there a few weeks ago. Fletchero lives there, and we haven't heard from him on this yet. Keith?

This is another one of those "personal preferences" threads. Everybody has their favorites; no answer is "wrong", but most aren't "right" for you. You just need to try out a reel or two to decide what you like. I personally use round reels for flipping/pitching with a low gear ratio. The low-profile reels are more comfortable for winding and cranking in lures on long casts, but you're not doing that with flipping/pitching. I like to have the power to winch them out, hence the low gear ratio. Some folks like speed, so a high gear ratio would be the choice for them.
