BTW Frogg Toggs are awesome. Fairly cheap, and they keep you dry. I realize theres a lot of bad reviews on them, but I've never had an issue with mine.

Oh I understand that. I don't get out all that often. I fish daily, but generally thats only for an hour or two. I usually get in one to three really good trips in a month. I just can't see myself using THAT much dye. But hey, if I start loading up on fish with it, then I'll be kicking myself in the butt for not having more of it.

Yeah I saw that. I probably should have just ordered the 4 pack. But I didn't really "need" to get another two bottles in colors I didn't see myself using. I almost regret not getting them now though.

So my first order of JJ's Magic came in today. I could smell the stuff before I even opened up the package. Good lord. Got a bottle of Chart and clear. I didn't see a need for blue and methyalate, although I may add those soon. Ordered it on Wednesday, and it got here today. Naturally the wind started blowing like 30, hopefully that'll die down as the sun starts to go down so I can actually try this stuff out tonight. The only problem is that I'm trying to think of how I can prank the guys in my shop with this smelly junk....

Wish my Wally World here stocked Rage Tail stuff. Nice collection of stuff you got there on sale. I may have to run by mine to see what all they have on sale now. I know they had Senko's for like a buck and a half cheaper than BPS.

That is the first thing I thought when I read that. I was sitting here going I don't understand...have I been missing something?

rain gear

Got my order as well. Like airborne_angler said, ziploc bags for all of them. Got a nice little rigging poster and all kinds of other material in the box. 4 70 packs of the Hoggs. 2 50 packs of lizards. I wasn't overly impressed with how the hogg worked in the water, a brush hog has WAY more action. Mind you that may have been because I was using a 4/0 hook in it (didn't want to re-tie), and I dipped it in a little spike-it which may have reacted a bit with the plastic (JJ's should be here tomorrow). That being said, I did land a few fish on it in the half an hour or so that I used it. They are made from a nice soft plastic, cast well. Time will tell on them. At least they were cheap.

My box is supposed to get delivered sometime today. I'm just sitting here impatiently waiting....

I picked up one of those Daiwa rods a few weeks ago. Had a broken tip sitting on the rack. I spent eight bucks for the rod. Three bucks for a fuji guide at BPS and called it a day. Not a bad rod either. I use it for frogging and whatnot.

Welcome!

I'd love to break my PB. I think sticking something like a 13 lb LMB would do nicely. I'd also love to get into a 6 or 7 pound Peacock.

Those Kut tails in those sizes really do look nice. I've gotta try out that spoon jig head one of these days.

For the application in this thread, weightless texas rig.

While I've never really had a bass that has haunted me, I'll never forget the biggest fish I've ever seen before. My father and I were trolling several years ago off the drop off of the reefline outside of Miami. Fresh ballyhoo on skirts looking for dolphin and sailfish. We had already released several small sails earlier in the day and had a few dolphin in the box. We reset the lines after landing a smaller fish and started working a weedline. Next thing we know we can hear the drag ripping out of one of the Internationals on one of the outriggers. My dad grabs the rod and gets drug across the deck and darn near over the transom. He gets set and starts fighting the fish and we see a HUGE Marlin start greyhounding across the back of the boat. He hammers down on the drag after it keeps ripping line out. More line goes out, reel is smoking we have no idea what to do. Finally it spools us and is gone. I'll never forget how ticked off the eyes on that fish were. They were the size of dinner plates. Estimated the fish at 1100 pounds. Obviously thats off, but we did the best we could going off of similar sized fish. We still talk about it to this day. I still to this day can't believe how that fish tore through that reel.

I picked one up earlier today. Nice light rod. Ultra sensitive. I just need to get used to the extra fast tip on it for hooksets. I couldn't complain about it one bit really. My only gripe is that the hook keeper is mounted on the underside of the rod. I like mine on the side or on the face of it.

Without reading the whole thread I'll say this: I hate the idea of the game being rigged. Sick to the stomach hate. I won't say you're right or wrong because there is some very coincidental stuff that happens. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if plays or games are rigged. I try really hard to ignore all of the political aspects to sports in general and try hard to just enjoy the game for what it is.

Sounds like a plan. Just let me know and hopefully our schedules will work out one day. I'm always up for some fishin an bs'n. I'll bring the cuban coffee.

Man, I've really gotta spring for one of those one of these days. Grouper fishing would be freakin ridiculous with images like that. Thats darn near cheating.

Thanks for the link. Like airborne_angler said, thats a deal you couldn't pass up on. I grabbed one of each of the 70 ct bags along with a 50 bag of 9" pumpkinseed lizards.

So I picked up a new rod today for worming... I just need to get used to the XF tip on it. I missed three fairly decent fish today setting the hook too quickly.

Thankfully I'm single, no wifey to bug me about fishing. My daughters on the other hand have started to like fishing and are stealing a bunch of my plastics to stick in their boxes...

Thats just what I was hoping to hear. I had a feeling it was just me jumping the gun a bit on the fish. And yeah, I know what you mean buy setting on pretty much everything. I was reeling down the slack to check.

So I picked up a BPS Carbonlite earlier today. 6'9" MH extra fast. I'm just curious if the extra fast tip is a little to quick for a worm rod. I missed three solid fish today. Now that could have been coincidence, me not being used to the rod, or any other number of things. I'm just curious if I should exchange it for something with a softer tip to it. Love the rod otherwise, super sensitive and beyond light. Edited to add: As a side note, I do fish a lot of hydrilla and other vegetation on my lake here so I figured having that quicker tip would help a bit for hooking and pulling fish out of the slop.
