The Berkley Chigger Craw blows any beaver away IMO!

Always in cover! I use a tooth pick or a Bass Pro bobber stop.

at what age can you start teaching a boy to fish?
My 3 1/2 yr old daughter will fish for about 3 hours before she loses interest. Her favorite is the zoom horny toad or any top water. She likes seeing the lure i guess. My wife is expecting our second child and we just found out yesterday that it is a BOY!!!!! We will see how he does.

Compre or Crucial?
If you have the extra $, crucial hands down!

STX vs. Patriarch
I have owned both and don't understand how anyone could say that the patriarch casts better than a Revo! I have yet to see a reel that can out cast a Revo STX or Premier!

how many of you use a longer frog rod?
I use a 7' 6" flippin stick for frogs. You want that long stout rod for good hook sets in the slop where frogs are most effective!
-
Live Bait VS PLastics?? Which do you prefer? Which works best?
A lot of times live bait will produce monster bass more so than artificial. But i would not trade fishing artificial for nothing! The pride in knowing you out smarted the fish and worked that lure just like it wanted to see it is priceless to me!

Help finding a swimbait rod.
It all depends on what size swim baits you will be using? If you are using small ones like the money minnow and Spro 4" Shad than a 7' is most likely okay. If you will be using ones like the Spro 8" swim bait and Huddleston you might want to look into a 7' 11" model.

Carolina rig rods vs. flipping sticks
I currently use a Shimano Crucial 7' 6" H/F for flippin'/pitchin' and frogs. I was looking into the Falcon Cara T7 7'6" H/F one piece and it is labeled as Carolina rigs. The same size rod with telescopic handle is labeled flippin'/pitchin'? What is the difference? The one piece is rated to handle a little bit heavier lures too.

Help pairing rods and reels
IMO, the BPS 7' MH with a MG51 for texas rigged plastics. The 7' m with the other MG51 for weightless plastics. And the Crankin stick with the 201E7 for crankin of course. As for the Sol, who knows, keep it as a spare, LOL!

polarized sunglasses
I have a pair of Oakley polarized sun glasses that were $250 and a pair of Mossy Oaks that were $15 and they do the same exact thing!
