Trokar 6 hooks, $7.00 Gammys 12 hooks $7.00 BPS 25 hooks $7.00 Close, but not to the penny. Guess I will stick with the Gammys and BPS hooks. A matter of mileage. Hootie

Take a close look at the hook. They don't just have points, they have 3 sides, each corner sharpened to a razor edge, about 1/4" down all 3 corners. Hootie

After using these hooks for all this season, I can say I wont be buying anymore. Don't get me wrong, these hooks are everything they are advertised as. To excess, In my opinion. Strong, super sharp, too super sharp. These hooks simply destroy my plastics. You can't keep the hook point in the worm. They simply slice through it. The will also sometimes slice through the bass mouth, I believe . causing me to lose fish. Otherwise, a great hook, just to much of a good thing. My 2 cents. Hootie

Dick's Sporting Stuff...lol Hootie

Yep, combos. Three rods and three reels. Hootie

I would have to back track, but I believe he bought a PQ rod and reel combo. Hootie

That made me laugh. Glad you have a good sense of humor...lol Hootie

You know, I started this thread back in February. I thought it was dead. This thing is like Freddie Kruger...lol. Hootie

Actually it's not less, it's more. It's a Lews, owned by Lynn Reeves. Hootie

X2 Hootie

How about a Pinto, or, HEY, a Maverick...lol Hootie

AGREED!! I could have written this word for word myself. I have the E's, the G's and the Chronarchs. Love em all, absolutely no complaints. I could not have said this when I first started this topic. Didn't have copies of all the reels. NOW I DO! Just because it's different, doesn't mean it's covered with mud!! Hootie

THROW AWAY!! ??? Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee, har, har, .....Whew!, .... Gotta catch my breath!! Hootie

Aren't you supposed to be working?....lol. Hootie

When I went to school, you had to learn, to graduate. By the time my kids were in school, you just had to show up, to graduate. I think, now, all you have to do to graduate is turn 18.....lol. As Bob Dylan sang, "The times, they are a changing". Hootie P.S. I know,..... who is Bob Dylan?

Thank you, I was hoping that was the answer. Hootie

Bought 2 of their $80.00 Speed Sticks a couple years ago. They are okay, a little heavy, but after using Dobyns Champion, and G Loomis rods, everything seems heavy...lol. Hootie

Or anyone else who can answer this question. A couple years ago, I put those ridged rubber handle grips on 2 of my STX's. Today I took them off, and the paddles now have these ridges pressed into rubber. Will they come out over time, or are they there to stay. Hootie

I had a really BAD experience with Lews. I bought one, and liked it SO MUCH, I bought 5 more....lol. Hootie

That's more my range. I have been using Abrazx for the last few weeks. Bought 4 spools when BPS had a 25% off Seaguar products. Hootie

No room in my wallet for $50.00 fishing line...lol. Hootie

I still have a lot of my 1960's fishing tackle. Cheapie stuff for sure. I now fish with some of the best tackle made, and I would NOT want to go back. But I gotta tell ya, I sure had a LOT of fun back then with that cheapie stuff. Like they say, "ya gotta start somewhere to get somewhere". Hootie

AHH!! The good ole' days. I had a Zebco 606 combo that did it all, and I had a great time every Saturday. Used it three seasons until I got my first Mitchell 300 in 1969. Hootie

YAAAAY!!! Hootie

I have a large collection of old tackle, lures, baitcasting reels, rods, Steel, solid fiberglass, old books, old magazines, and old catalogs. I have posted photos of some of my collection on here but there don't seem to be a lot of interest in old tackle here. I guess it's a nostalgia thing. Either you like it or you don't. Hootie
