Rage tail chunks and craws. Paca chunks and craws. Anything that looks cool even if you have to cut the tops to make it fit right. Sweet/tiny/big beaver, baby brush hogs, flappin hogs, etc. The chunks and craws produce better for me so far though. I do try and match the colors.

This is a little irresponsible IMHO. There is no comparison between a carbon stradic and one of the finest reels ever made. The stella is a far superior reel in every way and the new stradic's are nice just not even close to the same ballpark. However for 200 or less this might be the best reel you can purchase. Daiwa advantage is another nice reel in that range as well........ What makes the Stella so incomparable? I'm curious.

Man I was so close! :-[

As long as my mt. dew/sweet tea still tastes like mt. dew/sweet tea and I don't get some kind of disease, I don't care what they say is in it! ;D Seriously though. Like with employees spitting in food, I know this has happened to me once for a fact because I got ticked at the waiter BEFORE he brought my food. And the other day at taco bell I got ticked off because it was slapped together like a 5 year old made it so I got mad and took it back and the "manager" made me a new one and told me when he handed it to me, that he "garuntees this one will be better". Still tasted the same though! ;D

I went through 3 Colibri using triple refined butane. Just don't last. Did some looking around after the third started crapping out on me and found the blazer to be one of the most reliable. Plus it looks sweet being clear and all! http://www.heartfeltindustries.com/proddetail.asp?prod=PB_207crC

I'm thinking that one is a Storm Kickin' Stick, not a Sebile. I haven't seen a Sebile Swimmer in that color. I've been eyeing those Kickin' sticks lately though. Only about 10 bucks for one!

Got some fanboys in here! uh oh! : ;D ;D

I like using high speed for jigs. Worms I stick with the 6.3. Also would be nice for topwaters.

x2 Save yourself some money and get the PQ. I couldn't be happier with the one I have. I did get a chance to get a couple casts in with the pre2010 sx and for the money the PQ is a better value. If you have the extra money and like your revos already go for the sx. If not, you won't be sacrificing any performance by going with the PQ.

Now that's the way to light a cigar! haha I just got a Blazer for Christmas and man is it sick.

I'd like to see a comparison if possible as well. The sol would look awesome on this dx702sf.

I'm smoking a Master Blends 3 right now listening to music and "doing homework", at my dads house. He doesn't mind me smoking in the house! What lighter do you have?

Why not add another expensive hobby to your list? ;D

The Bomber Square A is a great square billed crank. Pretty cheap too but I haven't seen them anywhere other than bass pro.

As far as spinning reels,Daiwa leads the pack. Line management alone is enough reason to go with a Daiwa. I will be checking out some Daiwas too. I have been curious about some of the higher end Daiwas. I've used lower end ones and for the money were great reels. I guess I'll just have to see which one feels the best maybe the local little shop will let me mount a couple on my new baby.

If you know you want the ci4 you might as well go ahead and get the one in the flea market for 190 brand new. You're going to have a hard time finding places with them in stock, plus you can save a few dollars!

Those look sexy. I've been wanting to try some Padilla Habanos for a while now. Anyone else tried one?

Wow those look great for only 100.

When I first started smoking cigars I got a 5er of 5 Vegas Golds, and didn't care for those at all. Then after a while I got some 5 Vegas Miami's and those are a real peppery cigar. Like heavy pepper. Still have some of those sitting in the bottom. Since then I just have been wanting to try other stuff and haven't bought anymore 5 Vegas. The A's are a good maduro, give them a shot. I forgot to mention when I said the Miamis were really peppery, that I don't like a cigar with that much pepper. I'm sure some do but just not my cup of tea. haha But I'll have to try those thanks!

Well it's not that they were bad. I liked them when I smoked the first 3. Then I went out and bought a CAO Gold to try, and it was so much better it made me not like the Vegas Golds. Plus I don't care for something that mild and plain. I don't smoke often so when I do I like to have a good flavorful cigar. But when I first started smoking the CAO Golds were perfect.

If ya'll haven't already, try an Oliva Serie G Maduro. I haven't tried the regular wrapper but this is an awesome medium smoke and fairly cheap. And ya'll should really get a couple Oliva Master Blends 3. Man this is making me want one. Today would've been perfect too, it was not too hot but not too cold out. BTW soccplayer07, nice stash! Great pictures.

Most RPs are good consistant smokes. The only Rocky Patel I didn't like was the 1961. I was pretty disappointed about that one. You should try the RP Vintage 1990. I really like the 1992 but the 1990 is a great smoke as well. soccplayer07 how do you like those artisans? I've been wanting some for a while they're gorgeous cigars.

Yep! I just put a brand new one up in the flea market that's in your price range!! Haha figures. I'm on a part time job working almost 15 hours a week and still have gas and everything else to pay for so it'll be about a month before I can put enough money to the side for one now since I just dropped almost 300 on that rod. If you put that up earlier I would've bought that first and got the rod later! I'm thinking you should keep it for about a month and let the box collect a little dust then I'll take it off your hands! ;D Edit: Scratch that Valentines Day is around the corner. : Make that 2 months.
