Hammer 4

Every which way but loose... ;D T rig, C rig, Dropshot, T rig weightless (flyline). Use them as a trailer on jigs for a Big profile. Did I forget anything..?

X 2...

I have a 2pc Shimano Clarus spinning rod..mlxf..I have caught 5lb bass with it..plus a bunch of smaller bass...never had any issues with it. I don't have to worry about transporting issues, so in the end, I prefer 1pc rods. I think the better rods, are o.k...I wouldn't buy a 2 pc cheapie..

Haaa, try Riding over that stuff on a motorcycle..I got lucky.. ;D

I tired vanish about a year ago...so bad I didn't even mention it...it just Vanished..lol

I'm lost...why do you need to "pinch" the line..? Just tie a palomar and leave the tag end however long you want.. I haven't had any issues with trilene 100% yet.

Dats kewl...

Hmmm, be kinda tough to vote IF you haven't tried them all..and I haven't..just the trilene 100%..

Whatever line you use on spinning reels. Depends on the size of the reel. A 2500 for example 10lb would be max..I use anywhere from 4 to 8 lb depending on what I want to do..i.e. if the water is clear, and the fishing is tough, I'll use 4lb fluro, stained, I usually use 6 lb, 8 ln if there's a tad more cover ect. On a size 4000 you can get away with 10 easy, if you feel the need to use it, i.e. heavy cover, rocks ect. Personally, if I need to go to 10lb, I'll break out the baitcaster..for most situations. Oh....haven't used that, I do like the YoZuri Hybrid Ultrasoft though..

Braid/ superlines should not affect guides on better rods. They only afferct the cheaper guides.

I have braid on my swimbait rig. 55# braid with 12lb fluro..I also use a uni to uni knot to attach the fluro to the braid..Although I fish stained water 99% of the time..I like the leader for a shock absorber. No stretch with braid, makes it a good line to use for any bottom fishing imho..

To keep my plastic's soft..I smear em with MegaStrike..then put em in a zip lok baggie..

I dunno..I use a palomar for 4 & 12 lb fluro..so far...so good. You could try a double palomar..

Do also have a Nail straightener too...??? ;D

Interesting point Jay..

I think I NEED to make a trip to that store soon..Orignal Dr.Pepper is callin my name..lol

I kinda glanced through all the post's, but didn't find any mention of this...If you plan on getting a handgun, I would recomend to take a safety cousre, like the one the NRA has. Also a home defense course might be worth looking into. You'd be surprised what folks do when they are under pressure.

Yup, yesterday was fine, today it's SsssLLllllllOOOOoooWWWWwwwwEeeeeDddddd way down... :-?

Have seen the Citica's for as little as 65.00..

Try dipping them into some really hot water until they straighten out..

Good info fellas...I don't experience short strikes that often. I was reading a thread on spinnerbaits, and the thought of short strikes entered my head, so, I thought I would ask what your opinions are on the subject. As usual ...lots of good info...hope this helps someone that experiences short strikes for Amature fish..lol

Always...keep the reciepts Hidden in your garage, or car...

Haha...dats funny... ;D

X 2.....btw, the laws in cali suk... :

Maybe contact Seaguar and ask them...?
