my dream set up would be a curado and a custom made 7 ft spiral wrapped rod... actually would be about the same price or a bit cheaper than an IMX and bout be about amazing! BUT if I had to keep it cheap.. I would go with a Citica and a Falcon Lowrider... then your looking at abotu $240 for everything AL

if you cap him can I have all his fishing gear? AL

YOU BUNCH OF WUSSES!!!! ummm can I have both y'alls numbers? Heaven knows I am going to need some support over the next year LOL great post AL

very cool... congrats... and thanks for your service... AL

When I collected Relines I would deal A LOT with Ebay... MOST folks are great.. but man I tell you.. there were some real doosies... I just got ripped off one too many times and Ebay not doing anything about it... *shrug* but that is just MY opinion.. sure I still use it... but I am more careful on who I buy from.. AL

hahahah now that is funny right there!!! AL

hehehe yeah what is a freaking gallon of gas WORTH now days? Play nice guys... don't want this getting locked down over some silliness! All this threads intent was to enlighten some folks to a situation I ran into .... nothing life and death... no laws were broken... just annoyances... so lets not make it more, and keep it on track k? thanks AL

ahhhh a wise man said... an item is only worth what another man is willing to pay for it you should check out the prices of redline hotwheels... now THAT will shock you AL

VERY COOL!! I knew there was a reason I have more SK tubes than a human could possibly need!! AL

Mike your thinking of Burly, my thread was a photo comparison... and as far as Burley goes.. he is a great guy and I THINK (dont know for sure) that what he was doing was trying to hook someone up with some EXTRAS that he got in... sometimes I will do the same thing.. if the bait monkey gets me at a good time and I find something in high demand I will pick up some extras and offer to my buds.. now Burley offered to 5,000 of his Buds ;D Correct me if I am wrong Burley which I could VERY WELL BE... but he wasn't making any money on the reels to speak of... LESS than 10 bucks after shipping and Pay Pal fees... that isn't too bad if you ask me... but unless you look at all sides of the cube you may not understand what the make up is... I still have my ONE E7 and I have another one (this one in question) in the mail... and I am wanting to get a new rod and reel set up SOON so I will either get an E5 or the new Citica... cheers AL

ok DOWN BOYSSSSSSSSSSS! this is how it is sometimes... I hold NO ONE responsible but me... I was the guy that ordered the reels.. not on anyone's recommendation... now when I decided to get this reel my crack dealer errrrrr BURLEY had already sold the reels its no ones fault but the establishment with the poor service and MINE for being the one that bought from them... SO leave anyone but us two out of it ok? And just so you know... Burley's price isn't bad... heck you take the price of shipping and the pay pal charges.. and he isn't hardly making anything for the privilege of letting YOU be the first on the block with the newest toy... now you want to know a cut throat hobby.. try the hot wheel collector community.. SHEESH!!!! now THOSE guys will charge BIG BUCKS for you to be the first on the block with the toys... AL

hahahah broh... its not THAT serious... and i am not even saying don't buy from them... I am just relating the facts to my experience... make your own decisions.. AL

Here are the facts... I placed an order with Bait n Hook on Thank you for your order, Your order number is: 3317 Date of order: 8/31/2008 02:54 PM Shimano 200E7 High Speed Curado BaitCasting Right Hand Reel CU200E7 1 $179.95 $179.95 Subtotal: $179.95 Shipping & Handling: $2.14 Tax: $0.00 Order Total: $182.09 NO WHERE I SAW DID IT SAY THE REEL WAS BACK ORDERED.... then on 2 SEPTEMBER I saw that it was on back order so I emailed them asking what the deal was... this was the response... Dear Sir, They said it should be in sometime nextweek. For the curados Thank you Baitnhook I then tried to CALL them... the customer service hours are from 3-6 PM mon thru fri.. thats it!!! rut roh... I am getting a bad feeling here... but I wait... and wait... then on the 11th I get emails saying I have been billed and the item has been shipped with a delivery date of the 16th... with a UPS tracking number... SOOOO I check the tracking number... and it says that Bait n hook has printed the label but it hasn't actually SHIPPED yet.. well I was like.. hmmmm OKKKKK well I wait.. and wait.. I IM'd LBH and asked if it could be a mistake on UPS' side and he made a call and said more than likely NOT so I wait some more.. FINALLY TODAY... it still says that the label has been printed but the item hasn't been picked up yet... so I called.. DURING THE CUSTOMER SERVICE TIMES... and had to leave a message... then I emailed them... and no response.... well I just checked the UPS tracking... the DANG THING WASN'T PICKED UP UNTIL TODAY at NOON!!!! with a new delivery date of 18 Sep... They didn't bother to upgrade the shipping or ANYTHING for sitting on this thing for 2 weeks... I even SHOWED Them where it said that the reel was IN STOCK AND READY TO SHIP when I ordered it... to say I am less than thrilled with this company is a valid assumption... I just wanted to let everyone know my experience with these guys or GUY... I have a feeling this is a one person show out of a garage or something... and just be careful when you order... if you NEED it by a certain date... your probably not going to get it... and their idea of communication leaves a lot to be desired.. heck I would have been better off ordering it from EPAY!!!!! AL

awesome fish... congrats... AL

my prayers and thoughts are with her... I will be looking for the update... AL

pssst have your fiance call my wife and give her a couple of clues on what to get us for special occasions... AL

Sunday when I do my weekly trip to BPS help me pick out a COUPLE of crankbaits.. I have yet to catch a bass on one so I guess I will keep trying till I do it...I fish almost exclusively ponds, stained water with very little structure and some weeds on the bottom if that helps now so far for this trip the cavitron is on the list... dark one... come one.. y'all LOVE to help folks spend money ;D AL

1/4 oz is too easy... now a tiny rooster tail or something... might take some tweaking on my part but I would still do it AL

come on now... you know the bait monkey won't be happy until you spend that extra 20 bucks and get the BRAND NEW Citica... AL

very cool... congrats! AL

Ryan, You are the man ... you are an inspiration to many, and for more than just your fishing... you know what to do and how to do it... so just do it. AL

dang Raul all this talk about seduction makes me want to grab the wife and use all the principles on HER and btw thanks for taking the time... I just hope it helps ME catch more fishes... AL

That is a beautiful smallie you have there

*sigh* i have YET to EVER catch a fish on a crank bait... I need a teacher to show me how to use them I guess... AL

SHEESH....George Gershwin's version is the one your talking about
