What Gun For Concealed Carry??
Hey Rooster, Before you buy a gun, join a club or range. Shoot as many as you can as much as you can. A defensive weapon must go bang every single time you squeeze the trigger. High capacity magazines are cool and totally worthless if you forgot to rack the slide, or snick the safety or fully seat the magazine. I have competed regularly with semi-autos for more than 30 years now. My Glocks run like scalded cats but there is a curve involved with semi's that does not exist with revo's. That is why I recommend a snub nose .38 or 357 revolver when people ask about concealable defensive weapons that always go bang.

Plastic Colors
Someone said color catches fisherman? I am beginning to believe a bass will strike any color if I show it to him right. Green Pumpkin or Black for me and Robo's in Aaron's Magic.

Quick Braid Leader Question
Straight braid in the weeds. Mono or fluoro leader for everything else. I have given straight fluoro a real shot in the last six months. Not for me. Whatever you hardliners have to handle it, I ain't got it. As it turns out I don't need it either.

How Do You Guys Cut Braid?
Yep...mines attached to outside of my tackle bag. Cuts heavy braid no problem. No fumbling for a loose tool.

Why Are Shimano Fans So Hardcore?
Got to love topics (any topic) that deals with things that are completely subjective. It matters none. Just fish. Well...there's another chunk of bandwidth we'll never get back...

Smartphones
I needed the easy to see big screen the new Samsung Galaxy 2 provides. Using it for EVERYTHING at work and play. With recommendations from geek co-workers I have one through Sprint. With my company's discount it has true unlimited everything at a good price (for me). No way I can have time and access limits with my business. Check them out. Amazing piece of equipment. I even have a Ballistic Calculator app I use for rifle shooting.

Carolina Rigging Questions...
OK. The C-Keepers will have a permanent home on my light tackle split shot set up. I am using 6-8# fluoro and the pinch type sinkers never stay where I want them so, problem solved. Jury is still out for me using the Keeper on the heavy Carolina rig, but will work with it this weekend. Thinking I might have issues threading 50# Sufix 832 through the Keeper. I'll bring back up.

Anyone Else Turn All Brakes Off With Baitcaster
The distance I need is made up of a combination of lure/bait weight, line type and diameter, correct casting force and technique. Finally, a correctly adjusted reel. In that order.

Carolina Rigging Questions...
Little late to this party but hope to get a bit more detailed information. Just started using the C-rig, its catches fish and I like that. Curious about the keeper thingy. Am I correct in guessing it 'can' eliminate the leader all together? For you anglers who use it successfully I have a couple questions. 1. Does the Keepers convenience out weigh the benefits of a smaller diameter leader line, of say mono, witch 'seems' to help my plastics in the buoyancy department? *note, I use braid as the main with 6-8# mono leaders. If I hang up I can easily break it off at the hook thus saving the rest of the rig. 2. Does the Keepers convenience out weigh the benefits of the swivel minimizing line twist? Thanks in Advance...
