High Priced Rods & Sensitivity. Would You Call It Necessary?
Sometimes those "micro-bites" are a big bass on the other end. I get a lot of slack line bites on falling jigs also, usually it's pretty subtle, don't want to miss those either. I like a little luxury.

Craws
I primarily fish Zoom, Rage and Netbait products. And, every once in a while, a Chigger Craw. I like to have choices and experiment around with different stuff. My favorite is whatever is working the best that day.

High Priced Rods & Sensitivity. Would You Call It Necessary?
I like a quality rod for bottom contact fishing, such as c-rigging and t-rigging. Is an NRX more sensitive than a mid-range rod by a factor of X2? I can't without doing a side by side test with similar lines, reels, weights, etc. But I can say that an NRX or GLX at least as far as the bottom contact rods, are very sensitive and are fun to fish with. I also won't pay full retail for an NRX or GLX. Not that I'm critical of those who do, but either wait for a sale, or check E-bay and the fishing site want ads. You can get some really great deals if you are patient and shop around. Very important also to get the original receipt or a wild card if you go the NRX or GLX route. As far as moving baits like cranks, sensitivity isn't an issue for me, I just want something that is light, loads up well for a casting a crank that is in the rods weight range, and has a soft tip for hook setting and keeping the fish on. Line type is also important when it comes to sensitivity.

Good Day With The Red Eye Shad
Good job! Thanks for the info on fishing the Red Eye. I haven't fished that lure much myself.

Jerkbait Comparison Questions.
I can see that logic, for someone that hasn't fished a jerk bait a lot, buy a 110 in a "hot" color and you've got something you can fish with confidence while learning the ropes. But the 110's aren't a magic bait, I wish they were, I've got a bunch of them. I've had many days where other, less expensive, baits have worked and the Megabass did not.

Jerkbait Comparison Questions.
The 110's are great baits, but don't be fooled into thinking the "knockoffs" aren't great baits also. A lot of fishing jerkbaits has to do with confidence and ability, a $7 bait in the hands of a good jerk bait fisherman will do just as well as the $25 version.

The Road To The Super Bowl
I credit that win to the Chiefs defense and special teams. Should have been a blow out, KC's offense didn't impress me, but they did a good job of not beating themselves.

I haven't but it's on my list of things to try.

Abu Garcia Vs Shimano Baitcasters
I like my Gen 3 Revo SX. I've got a 1/2 dozen Premiers, a few Zillions and a couple of green Curados. The Curados don't get fished much compared to the other reels.

I placed an order them once and it shipped except for a bag of Zoom Ol' Monsters in black/blue flake. They went on back order and literally about 10 months later they came in stock and they shipped them out. They didn't bill me of course until they shipped. TW will do you right.
