Acquired an old tackle-box yesterday, took a look inside and found 1970's Cordell Big-O's, Rabble Rouser Baby Ashley, Spence scouts, made by Strike King Also 3 Snatrix baits. The beginning of the ribbontail. Oh, the price,...FREE!....The person said, "gotta get rid of this stuff. Do you want it"? ....."YES!,...OF COURSE"! Hootie the Hottie

Pitching/worm/jig rod under 60
I fish what I want. Never had to ask permission before. Not gonna start now. I've said it before, I believe sensitivity has more to do with the hands than the rod. Any more questions?.....lol. Hootie

Pitching/worm/jig rod under 60
But, like you said Catt, "those fish don't count"...lol. Even though I have a bunch of G Loomis rods, I started this season fishing "bottom contact baits" with Lightning rods. Caught a bunch of bass. Posted pictures of some of them. But, not to worry, I didn't count them. Hootie

New Book
You pretty much nailed it. Back then, nobody cared how much a reel weighed. Nearly every one used an Ambassadeur 5000 reel, with a 5 1/2' baitcasting rod. I remember when the crankbait craze started with the "Big O". Hootie

Just added to my already massive bass fishing library. BASS' s 13th year anniversary book. Reprinted articles of their magazine from 1967-1980. Select articles of course. Hootie

Jig Fishing Fiasco
As you all know, I fish a really snag infested lake. I have been catching a lot of bass on jigs this season. NOT TODAY!!...I snagged on everything today. Seems some days I could drag a jig through a barbed wire fence and never get hung. Other days I could fish open water, and get snagged on bubbles. This was one of those days. I'll try again Thursday. Over and out. Hootie

Fishing will probably be on hold for a while...
Yes, a big congratulations. You're absolutely right K_Mac. They do grow up fast. My baby girl is a 50 year-old grandmother of four. Hootie
