Yes, the tip section of the rod will twist. The lighter the power, the more it will twist under a load.

Depends on my summer work schedule. Last year I had licenses for Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas and Alabama. One time, a few years back I had licenses for Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma. That was an expensive year.

I'm in, but only if we send tofu burgers.

Mercer has one of the most informative shows on WFN.

Well played, amigo. Well played.

It's a slippery slope you're on. I was in your shoes a while ago. Bought one JDM Alphas, and then a second when a good deal presented itself. I thought, OK, I'm good. Fast forward a bit, and I have five Alphas, two Certates, and a Zillion, all JDM. I kinda hope I'm done, but it doesn't seem likely.

I have the 7'L-R, which I would rate as a mod-fast action, and closer to medium power. Also have a 6'10" MH-F, which I would rate as fast action, and a bit more than MH power. Both are very light and sensitive. I have two Steez rods as well. The Tatula rods are about 80% of what the Steez rods are for about 30% the price. And, they are better rods than either of the Falcons you listed.

Now that's funny right there.

And, let me be the first to say, "I DON'T GIVE TWO SHEETS".

I knew there was a good reason why I like you.

Sorry, I wasn't calling you out. Just curious. I have a NFC blank, still in the tube, waiting for time to build a new rod. I've been interested in NFC ever since hearing that THE MAN was back in the business.

I haven't been following this story. Is it Edge, as in North Fork Composites, as in GaryLoomis?

Let's see, do I want to listen to Katy perry, or the lamest crew of commentators I've seen in years? I grabbed a book, and assumed position on the throne.

I had a stray thought about this. If it truly mattered what pro was using what gear, and we all wanted to fish with the stuff the absolute best guys were using, most of us would be fishing with Quantum rods and reels. I'm fairly certain most of us are not fishing with Quantum gear. That suggests to me that it doesn't matter a bit who is using what.

Due to release sometime Fall 2015. I'll have one.

Amen brother. Tell it like it is.

I fished for about thirty years with one casting rig, one spinning rig, and one fly rod. I now have a dozen spinning rods, two dozen casting rods, and half a dozen fly rods. So, no, you can't get loose. Enjoy the ride, amigo.

Close call on that one. I'd call it a toss up.

Who is Jeff Gordon?

Would that by chance be the infamous Mr Izzo?

Ah, to be young, and immortal, again. That was awesome.

Just finished the book. Looking forward to the movie. Every comment I've heard about the movie is extremely positive. This may the the one time when you can say the movie is better than the book, which is a statement I've never made.

This is a really good test, if you happen to have lake full of talking bass.

It's been about four decades since my judgement was impaired badly enough to consider such a thing.
