Hooligan

Contact Suffix directly, I'm sure they'd love to hear of issues, particularly with a brand new line of lines.

Ever seen the high maintenance girlfriend fishing commercial where the guy jumps out the boat? One similar to that. Guy and his significant other are arguing, have been about 40 minutes. We can hear them yelling at one another from 1/4 mile away. All the sudden we hear "sploosh" and, "Good luck getting your boat home, I'm taking the truck." Lady swims the 1/4 mile or more back to the dock, walks to the truck, drops the trailer where it sits, takes the truck. It was pretty comical.

I have the Cikana, they're reasonably comfortable for wearing all day. They're far more durable than others I've tried, and they don't stink to high heaven when you wear them a couple days in a row.

They should make a men's after shave of the worm sent! I dunno, that seems kinda... well, backwards. Seems to me like they should make woman's perfume with that scent. Don't get me wrong, I'm a pretty liberal guy, and all, but I'd be afraid of what might happen on a long tournament weekend with that. (The above is written tongue in cheek, entirely. It is not meant to be offensive, serious, sarcastic, or in any war derogatory. If you took it that way, well, that's ok too. I'll write another disclaimer later.)

Didn't look like it from the first post, but ok. I've been guilty of the same.

Wow. Just...wow. You're saving $.30 per bait already. I'd say that's more than competitive.

You mean like this? Havoc Grass pig $2.99/6 RI Skinny Dipper $5.49/7 Yep, you're right. Price sucks.

Oh I'd do that in a heart beat. Fish is one of the greatest icons of sportfishing today.

Won a bunch of them at one function or another, and never did fish them. Seeing your post just reminded me of them, actually.

Highly doubt that the weight of a single split ring is going to be a major issue in terms of action; now if we're talking Wolverine triple rings in size #7, sure, but not a standard ring.

They're bringing another lure to match the new Crankin Rap. The DT Flat, according to one of the reps, has never been a good seller.

Oh, I know they're decent rods, it was related to which price point and possible responses from St. Croix. I'd take them up on the Upgrade. $50 + price difference to the next series of rod. What your breaks sound like, really, are rods that weren't protected adequately during shipping. They got shifted in the tube hard enough to damage the tip, in which case I'd take it up with the shipper.

Find it hard to believe that St. Croix customer service left you with "upgrade rods." There's got to be something left out of that exchange. They're likely one of, if not, the top rated companies in the rod making business. I've fished their rods for as long as I've been fishing, as well, I've got rods from Premier to Legend Elite and Extreme and have never had an issue that wasn't taken care of by them in a manner that was anything less than satisfactory. What series of rod are you talking about here? Mojo?

Has anyone used these? I've used other plastics from them with great success, but the tubes seem quite soft. Almost too soft. I'm a little hesitant to order them and pay the shipping for something that isn't going to work.

Last minute advice, smile, nod, say "I love you" "yes, it was all my fault" and accept all blame. When she's recovered fully, claim plausible deniability, she was on drugs. If she's going natural, duck punches when the above fails. (We're all pulling for ya. Can't wait to hear the outcome.)

All superlines will bleed. They're completely impermeable by dies or colorants. The color is only on the outside coat of the line and will bleed or fade.

Couldn't agree more. What's interesting is that there are others that have disproven a lot of what he's done. One of the interesting things to me is that bass can barely sense oil based scents or flavors; yet we use garlic consistently. It's said that common salt is virtually worthless, but salts in other forms, such as those from crawdads, are highly effective. Robert Montogomery has written on the topic a bit, and it's really interesting.

Yum Ribbontail in Junebug and Tequila sunrise, Berkley in Motoroil and Watermelon red flake, Rage Thumper in junebug, culprit in crawdad, redshad, and Green Pumpkin. Those are probably what I'd consider my stand-by worms.

Hope all goes well, with the eviction.

Awesome, serves her right for being so peevish.

I have everything in FTO boxes. Not cheap, but works better than standard boxes for me.

Cut just a little of the plastic away from the area between the body and the tail. Makes a world of difference.

Unfortunately, I know it all too well. I was injured during college, while getting my BSN. I was soon after diagnosed with some ruptures and stuff. I've had several facetectomies, foraminotomy, and IDET. It's not fun fishing tournaments some days. That said, if you're having a chronic pain, see your doc. Most often a round of corrective physical therapy is enough to correct it. As well, continuing the methods and exercises your therapist gives you will help immensely, so long as you do them correctly. Short answer: Go to your doc, get it out of the way and your time on the water will be more enjoyable.

Killer!

Wow man. That particular jig looks just killer. I have been getting mine locally and they just aren't that great, unfortunately. Looks like I found a new Mop.
