Dont think i would enjoy a year, but an old time rocker from back in the day like Jimmy Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughn would be great for awhile. Otherwise i agree, someone like jack johnson, DMB, or kings of leon would be great.

Ya'll are crazy! I love watchin these eating contests! You need to check out EPIC MEAL TIME on youtube. MY favorites are the fast food lasagna and protein bar.

300 horse from an engine that weights 267 lbs?? Thats awesome. Too bad its so freakin massive...

Great day for me! New territory on a river for me. Find out its too shallow too use motor, an trolling motor wasn't strong enough for current. So had to pull boat UPSTREAM for a ways until we could get boat in somewhat deeper water. Next thing i know im backing down trailer to load boat to head to another spot, and my truck is stuck on this ramp because its covered in sand. Great... 10 minutes later and truck overheating i get it out. Then the doozie of the day, which is totally my fault, but i end up tearing up my truck fairly bad. Cruisin the sun set with a buddy and me out and in the country. Oh hey look there ahead, a steep set of rail road tracks. Why dont we try the "dukes of hazzard" style and ramp them. I'd never been in this area and DID NOT realize how massively steep these railroad tracks where until i realized we were about 4 feet off the ground in my 2000 ranger. Totally shattered the racket & pinion, busted radiator, messed up powersteering. Didnt help that i couldn't steer and smashed into a pole on the side of the road after going through a ditch. Did i mention that on landing impact the bottom skid plate/power steering cooler scooped up 3 feet by 1 1/2 feet square by one inch THICK of asphalt from the road!! There was literally a huge sheet taken out that was stuck under the truck... Atleast my buddies found it funny...

Welcome! Where abouts illinois are you? Im in mid illinois. Mattoon/Charleston area.

Is it a M or ML action on your 7'2 crucial your using?

Howdy yall, addin another set-up to my arsenal right now. Im looking for a good drop shotting or any finesse fishing spinning reel setup. I somewhat have an idea of what id like to get already, just thought id ask around on here and see what yall are using, or your thoughts on what i should get. Im not totally biased on certain brands and such, but i've always been mainly a shimano and daiwa user. As for reel, im really leaning more towards a shimano spinning. The three i've been looking are the Shimano Saros, Symetre, or Sahara. I have an older sahara and its a tough ol reel just a bit on the heavy side. The new saharas feel quite a bit lighter and i really liked how they felt in my hands. An i've heard some great reviews on the saros. So im kinda caught up on which one i want. (BTW, do you feel that the 1000 size would be too small? Is it more of a panfishin reel or would it work good for my application?) As for rod, im a bit more free on. Please bring opinions on this as im always into trying a new rod/reel. The only rod i've had my eyes set on is a shimano crucial (Prob a 7'2 ML drop shot model). I have one I use for my t-rig worms/plastics that I love. Please though for any suggestions a GOOD warranty is a must (which is why i like the crucials so much for their lifetime warrantys), because i can be alittle rough on rods at times and accidents do happen. Sorry for the long post, and looking forwards too some suggestions! Thanks fellas.

You can't blame the kids. Its the parents....

Hahahaha ;D

3.49 here. It hurts driving everyday lol.

I'll drag my boat if i gotta!!

Is this the peice i need? http://cgi.ebay.com/ABU-AMBASSDEUR-7000-6500-5000-ANTI-REVERSE-DOG-LEVER-/220743380412?pt=UK_SportsLeisure_Fishing_Reels_JN&hash=item336554adbc

Appreciate the help fella's. Where abouts do i order this part? Do i have to go straight through Abu?? Thanks again.

I'm betting that the reels kvd uses out on the water arent stock. I'm betting he has them supertuned to his likings. Also i highly doubt alls he has is quantum on his boat. There is much marketing in bass fishing and im sure he will try and swap his companys rod and reel before they put him on tv. No, i dont know this for sure. But i have a good feeling that it happens.
