They are going to have a baitcaster this week on one of their 1 day specials, limit 4 per customer. Prolite Special 10 bearing, alum. frame, doesn't sound bad. $ 49.99, Sat. March 12 only. Bob

I usually fish as soon as I can, but seldom catch anything on the first couple of trips. But I still have to go.

XL= limp XT = tough

Yes, the last time I bought a new rod. I was asked what kind I needed. I said a 7 ft. brown one. ha ha just kidding guys, but seriously, if I find a rod I like, I don't care if it's polka dotted. I don't think I ever had a bass refuse to strike because he didn't like the color of my rod, or shirt, or hat, or whatever.

I have the MOJO and love it.

Fishing!!!

Today, you are older than you have ever been, and you will never be this young again. Does that cheer you up, or depress you?

Just curious about the ages of the people on this forum. If you don't want to answer, that's okay. Me, I am 65.

PQ, PQ, PQ, and PQ, and I'll probably buy a couple more soon!!!

I read just recently, that if you keep line out of sunlight it should store just fine and last for years. I buy in bulk, keep mine in a closet, and have never had a problem.

Never mind.

Here are a couple.

They are Mann's Waker Elite series. Square billed crankbaits. They have some that dive to 4 ft., and some that dive 1-3 inches I bought some of both. Bob

Went to my local store yesterday and picked up some crankbaits, marked at $1.43. When I got up front, they rang up at .36 each. Needless to say, I went back and got a bunch more. When I got home I looked these very lures on BPS website, they sell for $5.99 each. Wish I had bought them all.

AMEN ghoti

I HATE!!!!

Let's all admit it, we hate everybody but ourselves. I LOVE ME MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE!!!

Did it 3 years ago. Best decision I ever made. I am having the time of my life. Even got a part time job at our local Bass Pro Shop to supplement my ever growing addiction. Enjoy the rest of your life. LIVE LONG AND FISH!!

The water I fish has a visibility of about 1 foot most of the time. Never more than 18".

I was just wondering, do any of you guys or gals use braid without a leader. Is a leader absolutely necessary or does it really matter. Thanks for your reply.

I use both, but to be honest, the only reason I am using fluoro is occasionally I find some on sale. I'll buy, yes I like it, but I still catch fish using mono, and I simply refuse to pay an exorbitant price for fishing line, ANY KIND. There are $15. to $20. crankbaits. Never bought one, never will. Simply not necessary. Not as long as there is a BPS.

Most of my rods are BPS. Never had a problem with them myself. I have cheap stuff and I have high end stuff. Never had a problem with any of it. I guess I always luck out and get the only good copy of all the bad company's products. Never could get myself worked into a frazzle over a reel or rod that's 1/10 of an ounce to heavy. I have seen the new bionic blades. Got to get a couple, as if I really need them. Love the split grip.

Bass Pro Shops new 2011 master catalog.

Can't answer your question, but apparently the have also discontinued the Nitro reel, because it dos not appear in their new 2011 catalog. Why do they always discontinue stuff I like?
