that's the version I am more familiar with, also. I wish I knew the real story behind that kid. Obviously it can't be real military gear, the kid is just too fat. I'm thinking he is one of those kids that gets really into airsoft and goes out and has giant airsoft "battles" with other kids using their $600 replica airsoft guns... easy target huh. i laughed out loud

what is a company with some nice blades to replace stock ones when i pick up a new SB?

dude....that is SEXY

whatd u catch em on?

hooked him just right! dont step on that carrot stick!

is it the c mac worm? i cant find em. bait monkey likes your idea

cool thanks for the tip! is there anything you find unique about the action on the retrieve that you couldnt get from a florida rig or the c rig as u stated?

what worm is that in the last pic? I mean paragraph?

i'm call Kents boat! ;D

thats.....just great. thanks for sharing :-[

Fixed. chacos flip flops have awesome arch support. what other protection do you need besides the soul protecting you from hooks? theyre for women and kids? i have them, and last time i checked i was a full grown man. standing up for my flip flops dam it. i'm wearing em everyday on pickwick just to tick you off

yeah...hmmm. couldnt fish in winter 09'.......what to do, what to do

why aren't flip flops in the mix? People trip on them, they provide no arch support and offer no protection for your feet. Flip flops are for drinking beside the pool. 8-)

green tea and earl grey are all you really need. no sugar. and i agree on the loose leaf logic, much more quality in it.

another fan of the 41's. before i got into replacing all my trebles, way more fish threw the lure. now my landing ratio is way up cause of these bad boys

ive fished both and kistler mag is a gem compared to that gold stick

The magnetic braking system is an issue for many of us. I have been fishing baitcasters for more than a few years. My STX has been a challenge. You might try to borrow someone's reel that has a centrifugal braking system. Spool it with inexpensive XT #17 and see what you think. 8-) i would guess you are a way more advanced fisherman than me RW, and i'd imagine you have way more experience with baitcasters than me, so i find it strange that you think using the stx is a challenge. i couldn't create a problem with that reel if i tried. completely user/baitcast beginner friendly

well done! you just made your own human, and maybe even fishing buddy!

i would reply but we're tinkering with the not-allowed political discussion. i will say that those people need to rise up and over throw their government. its interesting how the thriving, prosperous Dominican Republic is right next door

not necessary. you have a very nice reel dont listen to the shimano purist snobs

maybe its spooled too tightly?

+3 for the Bucoo. to me it feels like the 175$+ rods falcon makes, for way less

not sure using braided is the problem. Baitcasting reels provide better lure control and accuracy and are suited for lines testing 10 pounds or heavier. They have a tendency to backlash or snarl when the spool spins faster than line is paying out, especially when casting into the wind. While magnetic braking features on baitcasting reels do help prevent backlashes, the most important control is the spool tension knob (usually next to the handles). To set it for each lure, hold the rod perpendicular to your body, disengage the spool and loosen the tension just until the lure starts to drop, then tighten slightly. To cast, disengage the spool and hold your thumb on the spool. Release thumb pressure on the spool when you want the lure to move forward. It is crucial to learn to control spool revolution speed with your thumb.

no. ray finkle. laces out dan!

what kinda rod and reel do you have? length and action? i assume you've experimented with different brake settings?
