Fat-G

I have a serious question: Is that wrong to do? ;D

What kind of leather do you make? I might want to do it for a living

I recently ordered a Vendetta from Aqua Superstore for $56.99 I ordered it on Wednesday, supposed to show up tommorow.

Shimano Compre or Falcon Lowrider

Every one the booth had. ;D

I fended him off. Tough, but I did it! He was begging me to get the $4 Rage Tails, $1 Gamakatsus, and $4 Senkos. Good thing I didn't touch my wallet.

I held some of the Powell's at the Richmond Fishing Expo, and I gotta say, I'm gonna need to find a technique to buy one for. ;D They were so light and balanced, I kept picking the same ones up to hold again. The Vendettas were also extremely light. I'm soon going to pull the trigger on the 7'3" HXF, although I didn't get to hold that specific model. Zillions are AMAZING. I really wish I had the money for one, or even a Fuego. All in all, I was very impressed with a lot of the mid-range priced rods. It seems like companies are taking off in that price range.

. I would like to here someones experience with this rod as well. X3

Frogs, Hollow Belly Swimbaits: 7'3" HXF Senkos: 6'9" MHF Bigger Swimbaits: Okuma Big Bait 7'6" H

How tall are you?

Right now I shave about once every three days. In the next year, I'll need to seriously start. For Christmas my dad was going to get me an electric razor. Any requests?

Go with the vendetta. Much better rod than the mojo. The M/XF mojo would actually be alright for topwaters and jerkbaits, but I would go with the vendetta flipping rod

I use three also. I used to use two, but they were being torn up too easily.

Those are awesome! Those are really thick, full-bodied skirts. Good job! How many tabs did you use?

i think its an irish setter? could be wrong.

That's one of the things on my list.

As most of us are cleaning out our tackle, re-organizing, etc, we're all making mental notes of what we need to restock and what new tackle we want to try this year. What are some of yours?

This rod http://www.***.com/descpageRDCOKUMA-OGSBBR.html This reel http://www.***.com/descpageRLCSHIMANO-SCCRA.html And line should be at least 20lb.

Yeah...right... No kidding

6 No offense, but that was either not well thought out or just stupid. If it was "JUST the United States", it OBVIOUSLY wouldn't be a WORLD record.

u Uhhh, I don 't think so, just in the past year Shimano has manufactured for the domestic and import market the following magnesium reels: Core 100 Core 100 MGFV JDM Metanium Mg JDM Metanium Mg 7 JDM Metanium MG DC JDM Aldebaran Core 50/ 51 Mg And many spinning magnesium reels are still being made specially in the JDM With Daiwa we don 't really know what 's up, the Steez is magnesium. More likely they are moving away from using magnesium in their lower price range reels leaving it for the premium models. Just about to say that

What kinda rod?

Yes, like Jig man said, fill your spool about 1/4-1/2 of the way with cheap mono. Your spool of braid will last 4x longer. Also, if you're going to use it for contact baits, get a chartruese marker and mark several marks at different line lengths. One for pitching, long casts, etc. It will help you see the lightest, lightest little bites. Good luck.

Hmm not a fan of mono for flipping. Just not very sensitive IMHO. I prefer fluro and usually use 17# for the most part. I should have specified more. Not actually flipping, just pitching jigs. For flipping I like braid.

Is it real stiff?
