Is it normal for Shimano reels to eventually become slighty geary?
Shouldn't the professional you sent it to for cleaning and maintenance be able to tell you why it's doing what it's doing?

Dobyns Rods
That's funny cuz I spoke to them Monday about a defective Fury reel seat. The guy pretty much told me the Colt series was garbage. He said they've had tons of issues with them. Figured they would help you knowing they're low quality. I tried the Sierra line and wasn't impressed at all! The actions are that of wet noodles and no more sensitive than the old Savvy series. Fury is the best bang for the buck right now.

Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
No way man, I'll never get rid of those, lol! I have 10 of them all blinged out with different colors. I got the Curados for $111 each. I just couldn't resist that deal. Telling you I love everything about the K but the weight! They're so heavy compared to everything else I have. When are you going to try the forbidden reel is the question??

Vegetation vs. Bite
This is the absolute truth right here! I've had many a giant tungsten weight come flying right at my face after setting on nothing. ?

The latest sale thread
I've purchased a bunch of really cheap reels from those new sellers with no feedback. Always received the item as advertised. PP is really good about taking care of you anyways (at least they have me).

Bass, or ... ?
Maybe your rod is so sensitive that the weeds are fooling you?
-
Curado DC............Catastrophe?
What was wrong with the thumb bar on the K? I have a couple of those reels.

Curado K 200K versus 201K difference?
Learn something new everyday! I have a couple and didn't even notice that.

Balance
Gary may consider it important but he doesn't incorporated balance into all of his rods. I've sold many a longer Dobyns rod because it was too tip heavy. When a rod and reel combo is well balanced you can just feel it. It's hard to explain for me but it doesn't feel tip heavy or butt heavy. Just feels right.

Have you ever snapped a lure off with braid?
A few times actually. Always on 30lb though.

YUM Tip Toad
Just watched some vids. I really like those humps to hide a double toad hook. I'm sold!

YUM Tip Toad
Dang I just went to TW to check these out. Price is too good not to try. I'm down to only about 10 packs of rage toads. Does the noise more closely compare to the rage toad or the horny toad?

Fishing a scum frog at night
At least it wasn't a snag proof you lost! Here in FL that happens.... But with 15 ft gators!

Favorite way to use a Trickworm?
As replacement rat tails for my topwater rat swimbaits.

Extra fast vs fast
I love it for hollow-body frogs, jigs and Carolina rigs.

Received New Rod Packaged in just a lightweight triangle box
With the amount of load they are put under while fishing I seriously doubt there is anything wrong with it from Shipping that way.

what unpopular lure do you use?
Devil's horse
- Any reason to buy a Whopper Plopper 75 if you already have the WP 110 and 90?

Beginner Swimbait setup
Fury 806, Daiwa tatula 200 HD and line of your choice. Will throw everything with that one set up. The 795 is only good for so much.
