What Berkley bait have you been looking for? oe

x-fast action marries nicely with light - med. light power... oe

I've got one left... I'd sure like to find a couple more! oe

Gunfish -- baby blue gill; chartreuse shad Flashminnow, Slender Pointer, Pointers -- ghost minnow; yellow perch; chartreuse shad; american shad, nishiki Staysee -- yellow perch; american shad oe

I disassemble and reassemble my reels each winter... I wouldn't even think of opening my computer!!! Give one a try. oe

How is the action of a Vision 110 (or STX) different than a LC Slender Pointer? oe

You're paying too much... check out the Lunker City Ribster and/or the Swimming Ribster. oe

I wear Fitovers and Cocoons... I prefer the optics of the Cocoons. oe

... in the meantime there is a nearly unlimited volume of information on most fishing topics found on this site and across the internet! oe

Are you saying the Chronarch E casts lighter baits than the Curado I? (I own the Chronarch 51e, but not a Curado I.) oe

I read Them Ol' Brown Fish each winter... but I think Tony Bean wrote two very good smallmouth books. oe

In no particular order of importance: Knowing Bass; Keith A. Jones The Scientific Angler; Paul C. Johnson (I don't think you'll find this one. Paul Johnson was a predecessor of Keith Jones at Berkley & Co.) Them Ol' Brown Fish; Billy Westmorland Tony Bean's Smallmouth Guide; Tony Bean (and Don Wirth) The Last Smallmouth; Tony Bean (and Darren Shell) Big Bass Magic; Dough Hannon (and W. Horace Carter) Slider Fishin'; Charlie Brewer Roland Martin's One Hundred & One Bass-Catching Secrets; Edited by Tim Tucker Anything from the In-Fisherman library enjoy... oe

Man, you can fish in my boat any day you want! oe

It seems we have plenty of opinions for the anti side of the equation... apparently those inclined to believe custom painted lures can be a benefit are choosing to remain quiet. Hmmmm, the silence can be deafening... oe

Thanks for taking the time to explain this... oe

wrong... oe

Thanks for the update... so the problem is loose fitting lock-out connection of the brakes and that can be identified upon inspection at purchase time? oe

Have I missed the discussion on this board concerning the self-engaging centrifugal brake blocks on the Revo3s? It seems I'm finding mention of it on several other boards... How much of a problem is it? (if any) oe

Allstar rods (sold only through Academy Sports & Outdoor stores) has a 7' 6" med/mod spinning rod for 50.00. oe

???... I toss the #9 & #11 on casting tackle without problem. I'm not successful working them as one piece jerkbaits, but rather pull them several feet at a time letting them sit for several seconds between pulls. Steady retrieve will work, but not to the same degree as shorter intermittent pulls with the rod. Your mileage may vary... oe

My experience: St. Croix powers are heavier (more powerful) than the same rated Fenwicks. The lure weight range you intend to fish is not especially light. I would suggest (as Raul) you go the M direction. oe

The Abu Revo3 Winch has a dual braking system. Anyone have one??? Several of the reviews complained about the centrifugal brakes self-engaging which choked off the cast. oe

Sometimes you just get a feeling that you'd be better off not dating that girl... oe

What are some of the older baits in your collection and how old are they? oe
