Lots of new Curados for sale! Whats up with that?
I fished with my E7 for about an hour before i took the line off and put it on Ebay! It just didnt feel "right" to me in any way. I will just stick to my Revos!
-
OK .... I think I am pretty much done with flourocarbon lines!!!!
The ONLY reel i have spooled with fluorocarbon is the Revo on my 7' 6" flippin stick. Since it is a short cast technique only set-up the lines stiffness is not an issue. And i need the sensitivity and low stretch for flippin. Other than that the hassle is not worth it to me!

Are aesthetics important to you?
Man am i glad someone brought this up! I will not even consider a rod/reel set-up if it doesn't look pretty together! I always make sure mine are well matched up for both looks and performance.

Jig trailer for flipping.
I almost always use a 4" Berkley Chigger Craw on my jigs.

Favorite Paddletail bait
I have really got into fishing the Bass Pro brand squirmin' shad in 5" sexy shad color. It works great in the lakes i fish.

Revo S Brake Question
When i bought mine, only two brakes came on from the factory. That setting worked perfect for me by just tweaking the spool tension knob.

STX vs. Patriarch
I see somebody really likes Mr. Skeet!!!!!!!!

Any ideas on what to use?
Try dragging a jig and craw trailer or a carolina rig with a floating worm up the slope. I would also try some Rat-L-Traps around cover.

Solo or group fishing -- your preference
I enjoy both but i seldom go alone! Like dmac14 said, the competition is great!

How much can a 9lb bass get in it's mouth?
A lot, a lot man! I too discovered this while fishing in a reclaimed phosphate pit where i work. I was using a Storm 6" swim bait and hooked a 7lb female that had a 9" perch jammed half way down her throat! Greedy little critters i guess! BTW, VERY nice fish man!

Organizing soft plastics
Since i usually have about ten bags or more of each i buy large zip lock bags with the clip on top. I organize them by type and color in a separate tackle box.

Fishing in the rain?
Man i say go for sure! My PB came on a cold, dark, drizzly day! My fishing buddy bugged me to the point that i just went to shut him up! I would start out with dark colored t-rigged soft plastics worked slow. Also, try some Rat-L-Traps around cover. Best of luck!!!!
