  1. You could try it under a bobber and see what happens.
  2. Had the same problem about 10 years ago. All of my reels were like 20 years old, but they worked good. It took about a year and a half, but I bought all new rods and reels. I didn't want to be out somewhere on a trip and be put in the position where I had to buy a reel right then because one of my old ones broke.
  3. You may be more accurate with a shorter rod, but I think practice has more to do with it than anything else.
  4. Curado 200E7. With the right bait, I can throw that thing a mile.
  5. Right now when I go out I usually take four with me. I could fish with one rig all season, but would I enjoy it?
  6. 1/16 white rooster tail. I have caught everything from bass to sunfish on that lure.
  7. Nice looking rod rack, but I think some of the guys on this site may need something a little larger.
  8. Jigs back in the shallows.
  9. I like rat-l-traps and super spots. The only Rapala I have ever had any luck with was the broken minnow.
  10. I have used poppers, and caught fish, in grass and around lily pads at noon when the sun is shining.
  11. Congrats!
  12. WTG! Those fish can put up a fight!
  13. I remember seeing that episode on TV years ago. You couldn't have a program like that on TV today. Thanks for posting it.
  14. I can still remember the Baseball, Hot dogs, Apple Pie, and Chevrolet song from way back in the 70's.
  15. Lighter, stronger, faster. It's the WTG.
  16. Try a harder hookset and see what happens. A lot of times the breaking point on line is more than what is stated on the package.
  17. I love to dead stick them. It's really a rush when a fish takes that bait and you see the line start taking off.
  18. I think you are going to have a blast!
  19. I have caught that one's twin before!
  20. I made it to 1:11 and 0:42. I couldn't take it any longer.
  21. The four things I carry at all times while fishing: Wallet, knife, keys, and phone. It is not about theft so much as keeping safe. If I would set my tackle bag down and then fall down some rip rap all of my stuff would be in the bag. With everything on me I could call for help.
  22. Queen - We Are The Champions.
  23. I like Yo-Zuri 15# for my baitcasters.
