Like others have said I only use a swivel to prevent line twist when useing a spinning setup to throw very light unweighted plastics. Which very rare. As far as snaps go, I used too not any more. (Norman) It's just as fast for me to tie on another with a SDJ knot direct, than to open, take it off, put a new one on and close. Especially when it's cold and have fat fingers. Mike

Thank You Luke Mike

Thanks Mike

Tom I know we live 3,000 miles apart but do you buy this stuff at a national chain, local tackle shop or on line? You peaked my interest. Mike

I use 16# Sniper and have used L&L on it since I put it on.. I also use it on ALL lines, including braid, and have never had a problem of any kind useing it. Maybe you got a very old bottle and didn't shake it enough...I don't know, just a thought. Mike

So, so sad. Rest in Peace Mike

Years ago I had 2 Gators [i live in Fla] named Big Al and Cosmo. We kept them in a 55 gallon fish tank that I set up to look like the everglades. One time I got cute and tried to feed Big Al, who was the bigger of the 2, a piece of hot dog from my hand. He lunged and caught my index finger, as I pulled back his teeth scraped the top from my nuckle to the fingernail. You should have seen the look on the nurses face when I told her how it happened, she giggled as she started to prepare a tetnous shot. After they got a little bigger, I gave both to the biology dept of a local college who were glad to have them I miss those guys. Mike

They wear thier sponsored logo's on thier shirts, hats and pants, they put em on thier boat, stick em on the truck, give seminars about what they use etc.. But none of that has ever put a fish in the boat. They will use what they need to use win, which keeps that stuff coming. Mike

Great Job!! Beautiful fish. Mike

Well, got messed up there a few times, but it may work out. Good Luck to you all Mike

Yeah it will, if we pick right it will save us from having to find a worthwhile FA

That's the good part starting out..

How did you manage that! And I'm last!!!! C'Mon Man!

Just get a Scum Frog and be done with it. Mike

I've had em hit a frog so hard it knocked it 2 feet in the air! That will get your juices flowing! Mike

Looks like Mrs Mike and I will make the KY Lake trip. We'll be staying at the camp ground if we can get in. We really enjoyed ourselves and meeting everyone at the Wilson Lake Roundtrip last year. Mike

What I have done in the past, was to call the tournament director and ask him if he knows of anyone looking for a link up. Sometimes they do.. Mike

I believe the forum on the main site has been eliminated since the site was redesigned, which I hate also. Mike

Besides a heavier weight (Id start at 1oz and go from there) use a more compact plastic such as a craw type bait of your choice. Mike

A Light bottom colored Frog in the morning, plum colored 10" worm and soft paddle tail swim baits (49er Big EZ or a houdini Skinny Dipper) the rest of the day. Mike

It's just not where I'm at I guess... Mike

Petey Rig... More of a finese C Rig presentation tho You can use a stop with a sliding weight above or a bobber stop above and below. That way you can adjust the weight anywhere you like. (Think split shot rig that can be adjusted much quicker) Mike

Rage Shad and Shellcracker. No matter how or where, I just can't get bit on those things. Mike
