Online Tackle Shops
i just ordered 2 rods from one in san fran, and the site said we ship within 24 hours. when the order was placed they gave me a confimation# but failed to mention that the rods were going to need to be ordered from daiwa then once they recieve them they will ship them to me. it may seem stupid but things like that bother me. here i was expecting my new rods this week and nope i have to wait longer. i hate to wait.

Thank you Bomber/Pradco.
It good to heat that, Kinami baits basically told me oh well. i bought a rattler from them(lipless crank) paint started peeling around where the gills would be after about 5 casts. after the paint peeled it still caught fish though.

Recomend a lure for topwater fishing mossy areas that don't cost $10+ each :)
Do you have an academy nearby? they make a frog that LOOKS exactley like a spro bronzeye frog. it cost about 4 bucks. i dont know the performance but they look great. its an h2o express frog. very pretty. but pretty=fish doesnt always apply.

Going To Buy A Daiwa Viento Reel, But What Rod?
Why you chose a daiwa doesnt matter, im glad you did. Viento is a good reel.what matters is what your going to be using it for. go for a 7' m if its going to bae an all purpose go for mod or fast action. but i would definatley recommend 7'. st. croix, american rodsmith, falcon, powell,e21 all make a good rod. but dont know about the 2 peice :-/

Anybody running a Silvermax Garcia?
I still use one for a shallow crank and wakebait reel. It is a gooood reel for the money. honestley. i have yet to have a problem with mine. its not the best in world but for less than $80 it would be hard to beat.

"Yum" scent spray...... your opinions??
i use the yum in crawfish scent. does it work? i do not know. when i use it i catch fish, when i dont use it i still catch fish. i do think that it could be redone with something that makes it stay on your bait longer. it seems to me that its only good for about 3 casts then you have to re apply.

Daiwa Viento
DUDE! the twitchin bar isnt made for reeling in a fish, or any amount of pressure like that. its made for subtle movements of baits.

Dumb Question
This is probably a dumb question, but i am about to go night fishing and would like to know everyones opinion. Im going to fish 12" tx rigged worms and want to know the better color. JUNEBUG or BLACK. or it doesnt matter because they both work.

Daiwa Viento
I dont have that one, but i do have the cheapo version. the megaforce. I LOVE IT!!!!! i use it as my senko rig. someone else i know that has one uses it for suspending jerks and says that one little twitch from that bar on a jerk can make a difference. anyway the cheap version with 12lb suffix seige can cast a weightless senko like a dream.
