Is this true of St Croix Legend Elite and Loomis GLX? If so is it important? I think yes!

When buying a new rod what is the best way to tell if the rod is properly spined?

You will love a Lund. I have a 1993 16' Lund Explorer (today's Rebel), powered by a 30 HP Johnson. I am very pleased with my boat. I've been on some pretty rough water in Kentucky Lake and it handled it well. Right now I am suffering from a bad case of "Two-Foot-Itis". Soooo I'm looking at a Lund Explorer 1800 powered by a 115 HP Evinrude E-Tec. I would like the Pro V 1800, however, cost is way too high. Just can't justify over $30,000 for a boat.

I have all three seasons of Angling Edge. They are excelent. However, be advised that the speices specific DVD's i.e. Bassology, are taken from the episodes of Angling Edge.

I just heard both Ron and Al speak at the Chicagoland Sportfishing Show in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Ron spoke on Saturday evening and Al spoke on Sunday afternoon. They both truly are "Gentlemen" in evry sense of the word. Both are extreamly knowledgeable in all phases of fishing. Both speak well and are very interesting to listen to. Most important they're thankfull for being able to earn a living in the sport fishing industry. Al said he spends between 180 and 200 days a year on the water. I guess that old saying "Practice Makes Perfect" must be true. Both are a real Class Act.

I have learned the most from Spence Petros. Spence Petros has a 6 week class in the Chicago area once a year. This will be the fifth time i will be attending. I really started to catch more fish since attending his classes. For those of you not familiar with him, Spence Petros is one of North America's most versatile and well-respected anglers. Author, fishing educator, tournament angler, tackle designer and veteran of over 125 television shows, including three years on ESPN's national show "the Outdoor Writers". In 1989 Petros was inducted into the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame, and is listed among the "Living Legends of American Sportfishing", a book authored by Larry Colombo profiling 100 of the top people in the sportfishing industry. Spence was editor of Fishing Facts magazine for 22-years and now writes regularly for some of the top fishing magazines in North America which include North American Fisherman, Bass Pro Shop's Outdoor World, Fishing Facts, Bassin', Crappie Magazine and Musky Hunter. He also appears regularly on ESPN's North American Outdoors and North American Fisherman TV shows, along with being a regular on Midwest Outdoors and North American Fish and Game TV shows. Numbers 2 and 3 would have to be Al and Ron Lindner.
