Finally A Member! Great Start To 2013
A member of the DD club that is. My new PB weighing in at 10lb 8oz! I lost this girl last weekend flippin a jig to beds with only a 7' 2" rod. Came back today with my flippin stick and worked the same bed and sure enough! It was no easy task getting her out of the junk either, she fought hard!

Filppin & Pitchin Rod?

Good Combo?
For the rod, go with the veritas. A lot lighter and more sensitive. But they are way stiffer than listed so keep that in mind. As for the reel either up to the STX or go with the S model. They cast a lot better, especially lighter baits.

Darkening Bass Boat Windshields
Hey all, i have been researching this and haven't really found much. I am wanting to make the console windshields on my Nitro darker(blacked out). They are very lightly smoked right now. I have seen many boats with completely black windshield and i love the look. I called a couple tint shops and they said the curves and contour of them make it hard to tint with film. I was thinking maybe some of that VHT nightshades they use to tint tail lights on vehicles. I am open to any and all suggestions so help me out.
