Hammer 4

I would recomend that you "Practice" Alot with say a 3/8 or 1/2 oz plug..train your thumb, as that is KEY to not get overruns/ birdsnest's..Also, spool it with some limper line for starters, once you get the hang of it, then go with whatever line you like. Oh, and Practice some more.. Also, it's key to set your reel up for the weight of the baits your gonna toss, i.e. the brakes and spool friction.

caught me a nice 3 lb'r today at Noon..get em on a bluegill pattern chatterbait, on the weedline.. BTW, this was at a city park lake..

Muddy keeps talkin bout cali..and now he's singing about it..Is there a move in your future Mook..?

Never been cut by salt either....can salt really cause a cut..?

I'm surprised no one mentioned Roboworms. I suggest you pick up at least 1 pack..color will be dependent on conditions, i.e. clear, muddy, or stained water. Lighter colors in clear, darker for stained, and dark for muddy, i.e black, or black grape. Good luck

Yep, which makes it much easier to cover more water..

Have you tried tossin the baby brushhog weightless..? Are you fishing it to fast..?

I would try the hybrid ultrasoft, I have it on bc and spinning. Re: the coils popping off, am I to understand your putting this line on a spinning reel..? If so, and unless it a 3000 size, 12lb is likey to heavy...10 lb is about as heavy as you can go on a 2500..the 3000 should be able to accept the 12lb ultrasoft..just a guess on my part. Also, are you guys spooling it on right..?

I have a backpak made for surfers, i.e. to carry a full wetsuit, and stuff. Kinda pricey at close to 100.00, but I can stuff just about anything in there, drinks, towels, and of course all my boxs plus about 15 bags of new baits, mostly Ragetail stuff. I could probably fit a very small person in there, but the dang thing is heavy enough already..lol I carried a regular bag made by Rapala for about 6 mos. never again.

Nah, put em in the fridge, then heat em up in the microwave...MMMMMMmmmmmmmm good!

WTG...Congratz... 8-)

You left out the #1 best...Lasagna Tacos Roast beef sanwhich's

Great story, had fun reading it.. ;D

That's just awesome..A pro someday..??????

Most recomend the double uni knot, ..here's a link on how to em.. http://www.netknots.com/html/fishing_knots.html

Stasher, just to be clear..what we normally talked about was what, and the why's if so and so should be banned, or put on vacation, if someone stepped over the line in re: to spam ect...Whatever I had to sat about someone, I say it to their face..well, type to their face..lol

Keep in mind the squire's aren't a strat. I had 2 of them, and tuning was a pain..i.e. to keep them in tune..and don't even think of using a vibrato bar..lol I would look on craiglist, you may be able to snag a mex strat, which is s step up, for not that much more $$$ BTW, I've owned a few American Strats, and the difference between them and the squire is night and day. Pawnshops usually, or at least in my experience try to get full retail even for a used piece, so if you must buy from a pawnshop, bargin with them.. BTW, I've forund some Excellent deals on craigslist for geetars, and such, most of the time, these guys are needing $$$ bad, the down side is you have to travel a tad. I bougt a Mex strat 2 yrs ago, in great cond, with heavy duty springs, and a tremalo for 175.00 with a bag.. Good luck with your purchase..whichever way you go, put new strings on it..

I'm a mod on a motorcycle site, have been for about 5yrs..never got paid, nor did I get any real perks..9 to 5..? lol...I and the other mods had to work for a living..so ..it was when we got online, although some of us worked different shifts, so someone was there most of the time. The bad part was having to ban someone for being a a$$hat. Some sites mods can't do that, only the Admin. can. Also what was anoying to me was, having to move threads that were consantly being posted in the wrong forums.. The neat thing is, the Admin, and Mods have a Private forum that nobody else can see, so we could talk crap about someone without them knowing..lol

Yep, most songs are only 3 basic cords. You'll be surprised at some songs you may now think sound complicated, are really easy..google guitar tabs, and you'll see ..

Go to geetar center, or any music shop, and get a dvd on how to play guitar..you'll basic cords ect..I'm self taught, and wished I'd taken lessons. I play mostly blues, some rock and country. 1 thing I'd recomend, the hand that you fret with, i.e. not your picking hand, start streching your fingers, you can probably see how to strech them on youtube, nimble fingers makes changing cords and reaching notes much easier. Good Luck..

Same as I do a 6" except with the 10" Anaconda I also swim it at a slow pace.

Pretty hard not to what..lay it on the grass..? Paleese, I fish from shore Alot, you can catch a fish, take a pic, and Never have it hit the ground, trust me on this..

I have the Sahara in the 2500 size, I have other Shimano reels that cost less. My Son has the Sedona..I prefer the Sahara..tough reel to beat for $80.00... I'd get the 2500, very versatile, I use mine for worms, spinnerbaits, some cranks, and anything else I use with 6 lb Yozuri Hybrid Ultrasoft line..I'v caught fish from 5" bluegill to 4 lb catfish..works flawlessly.
