I have a 7' MXF baitcasting rod that is my favorite. It has a soft tip that loads quickly with plenty of backbone for bigger fish. It works great for a variety of baits. I use it most often with light Trigs and jigs.

I am not really a fan, but a streak like that is a remarkable thing. Keeping the fire burning game after game is hard to do in any sport.

I've read the same thing. Nature is amazing. 8-)

Coincidentally I had the exact same meal without the bread and potatoes. I am watching my carbs.

I have noticed a large number of migrating geese the last several days. I find it interesting that one column of birds in the "V" is almost always considerably longer than the other. After countless hours of research on the interwebz I have found the surprising answer... There are more geese in the longer column. ;D

I have an embarrassing number of 5 3/8 and 6 on hand. They are the same diameter. I'm not sure about the weight. The bigger one is huge. I have seen bass point and laugh when using one. It weighs about 4 ounces... ;D

With all due respect, your comment regarding over paying is an opinion I do not share. I do agree that most BPS reels can be purchased on sale occasionally and are a better value then. I respect your experience and expertise when it comes to reels, but the PQ baitcast reel is a good value even at retail based on my experience. I think it is fine to say that you feel something else is a better value and why, but painting all BPS reels with the same brush is not really very helpful IMO.

I think it depends on the rod. I have a 7' MHF rod rated at 3/8-1oz. It will easily handle 1 1/2 oz baits, but 1/4 not so much. I have a 7' MXF rated1/4-5/8 oz with a soft tip that loads quickly. With light line it will work fine with less than 1/4. I would not go over 5/8 with it though. Good luck.

I used it in 12 and 15# this year on several baitcast rigs. I like it a lot, and will have it spooled on all my reels come spring.

Jason I pray for God's peace to be with you and your family at this difficult time. As I get older I am more aware that the the one constant in life is change. I am sorry for your loss.

LMAO!!! Awesome. You might not like it Speed, The combo weighs only 7 ounces, but the custom made flotation device attached to it while its out on loan weighs 4 pounds. ;D ;D Kind of like when you used to have to get the key to the bathroom at a gas station- the key, a hunk of chain, and a 15" chevy rim. ;D

I get the occasional coupon as well. It may have to do with dollars spent or frequency of purchases. Whatever it is, I qualify. I agree that for many items TW is a better source. I do buy many BPS store brand plastics, rods, and reels. I have one close enough that I don't have to depend on shipping. Their customer service has always been exceptional. I do like looking at all the perty pichers in the catalog. :

We have several pounds of baked chicken left over that we de-boned and put in gallon ziploc bags. We just finished some that I simmered in a covered skillet with barbecue sauce and a little water for about 30 minutes. I then removed the lid to cook off the water. Good stuff. 8-) BB a left over turkey or chicken sandwich with extra mayo, salt, and pepper is one of life's simple pleasures.

Grey Wolf I suspect he knows what bashing is. He certainly knows what a thoughtful and relevant comment is. This is not a characteristic shared by all...

I am of the opinion that as long as they are down by Easter it's all good.

I haven't received mine yet either. I have received dozens of fliers over the course of the year. I must be on the list... My wife says for all they spend on material and postage, they should send me something to fish with; it wouldn't cost any more, and it would be more effective. She might be right, but I do like having reading material in my "study."

As has already been said , the newer 2 piece rods seem to be much better than they used to be. Two piece rods used to come apart far too easily. That no longer seems to be a problem. They have come a long way in materials and methods over the years. I have two 2 piece spinning rods that I use for pan fish. I can tell no difference in them and the 1 piece version. With that said all of my bass rods are 1 piece. :

While it is not my favorite, I have used 15# YZ for a variety of of baits on my heavier power rods. It is STRONG stuff. It will work fine for those baits. Good luck, and come on spring. 8-)

I don't know nuthin bout aluminum prints, but that is one cool picher. 8-) On the refrigerator door or some other prominent spot, that will make a great gift. Well done.

Redline that is a nice vehicle. I hope you can get current on your payments soon and get the guy with the truck to bring it back. Good luck.

Glenn a Merry Christmas to you and yours. As Goose said, I appreciate this site very much, and respect the way you keep things civil; a daunting job at best. I also wish a Merry Christmas and happy New Year to all of you who make this site a fun and interesting place to spend some time.

Nice fish.

Very well said. While I think Fox News is more bad entertainment than news, to single it out is facetious at best; disingenuous would more closely describe my opinion. To compare the voluntary saying of the pledge of allegiance in school to the patriotic hysteria of Nazi Germany shows a lack of understanding of history and is offensive in my less than humble opinion.
