I agree that bait could really produce around my parts!

Well done Dave!

Great read, Thanks for sharing

I agree that's what it's all about,good times great memories. Definitely worth putting on the wall ;D

More than 10 less than 100.No record sizes this year ;D

Hey Muddy, I've got your answer Go to Google and type in webmath My 12 year old is doing alot of math in 6th grade that I didn't do until HIGH school and like you I also have forgotten how to do it but this site walks you through every type of equation known to man. I highly reccomend it.Let me know if it is useful to you. -John

You young guys gotter made ;D I only can wish we would have had such places to learn,My school was renovated to have two toilets,but only one worked.......... (the old one)

Dag gonnit, My three ring binder is filling fast. Every time I think I've caught up R.W. seems to push me back ;D Great info from all Thanks, -John

My father inlaw used to sware by them,even used to buy them in bulk.But I on the other hand could't get bit on them :-[

Forgive me if you will,for I have been buying BPS rods for the last 6 or 7 years. With that being said I have three words for ya I LOVE THEM I use the Bionic Blade IM8 in 6'6" for spinners, it may not be the appropriate application but it works great for me. I also do alot of roll casting and find the balance of their rods are superb. For the money(which is somewhat tight around our house)I feel they are superb.Plus if ANYTHING happends to them BPS is right there to help you out Hope I have hepled :-? -John

Yup like Dad always said Honesty is the best policy

Hey Skillet, I work in a steel mill, and I have asked 3 of our shift millwrights your question,thinking they might have a really "high profile state of the art" answer,BUT they all said that the only tool they know of is a drill bit. Go figure : Sorry but at least I tried -John

Gotta love them ponds,You never know what the next cast may bring! Oh yeah NICE FISH

Nice pic,looks like that fish really wanted that bait! ;D

Sometimes you forget how much fun fishing really is until you get a kid hooked. Thats definitely a pic worth putting on the coffee table

Welcom to the forum,browse around and you will discover the wealth of knowledge these guys have to share. -John

Congrats Dave You are a prime example of how a Dad would expect his sons to represent their family. Honesty,dedication,respect for others,and a good sense of adventure. Stay that way and you will succeed in all you do.

I went out to Walmart today and bought 1 spool to try for sundays pre-fish,If it's as good as you guys say I too (a 20 year Trilene guy) will have no hesitation switching

Thanks, Like I said It still smells fishy so I intend to use it!

Thanks for all the info guys,My 2 oldest boys and I have started using small pencil type Thill slips and springs and have had better luck,But now it's time to teach them how to take their own d**n fish off so I can fish too!!! >

I've also been a Trilene XL guy for many years' Is Suffix the way to go? Does it have the same No memory charcteristics as Trilene,, or better? :-/

Nice Nice Nice.........I'll say it again...NICE

It's unbelievable the talent that you guys all have. I personally don't make or paint my own lures but I want to someday,and when that day comes I definitely know where to turn for advice... Thanks for sharing -John

Good one Muddy!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Mike,nice to meet you -John
