  1. I learned on a right hand retrieve just because of that reason. Oddly enough i fish spinning reels on the opposite hand. The reason is because I cast with my right hand and just switch hands, unless I am flipping or pitching. You should be fine with the stx 7.0 the 8.0 is crazy fast and it might overpower you if you never used a high gear ratio before. ** or even the sx which ever reel you choose
  2. It should not matter in college either. Have you heard of the Evan williams bourbon all star championship event? They had a college tournament weigh in on the same stage.
  3. Great combo i cant wait to get back on the bass and kill em with this setup/
  4. Dont hold me to this but a few years ago when they had high floods on some lakes people were actually fishing in peoples own backyards. I am pretty sure there is a video on it somewhere. ( might have been table rock, not sure )
  5. Put your money towards the gen 3 stx 8.0 ratio thats a badass reel. anything else and id go with the lews tournament pro speed spool. Guess what is sitting right next to me brand new? The TP speed spool guess what reel is about to be next the STX gen 3 8.o abu. Guess what next another winch . yes i am addicted to fishing buy arent we all?
  6. We are beating a dead horse he made off fine. $1300 for the entire cartpet to be repaired is fine but he could get away with a section being replaced for much less. My suggestion is a $100 decal to put over the spot. It looks cool and covers the spot.
  7. Watch out for those d**n duck hunters. Sometimes they give you a heads up other times they shoot over you.
  8. My Bps strategy : -walk directly to the reel counter and test out every reel I want to buy and take notes - test out the rods I want see how they feel - mess around with random plastics and hardbaits - any plastics reasonably priced or things on clearance usually pick up - try on columbia gear and other clothes - walk out spending about $20- $25 but with the intention of buying everything I looked at for a lower price elsewhere.
  9. Good to know man, that is perfect. Let me know how it comes out.
  10. I like to go with a m to ml for a shakey head so if anything the 65 mh can be used for weighted texas rigs or even to throw topwaters on. Before I had a ton of setups i used to do everything on a spinning rod. Also thing about topwaters if they are not in your arsenal yet, I assume they get thrown on the 65 mh bc right?
  11. I use a lews tournament pro to flip and pitch and also frog with. Having a high gear ratio is the most important thing, if you take away anything just make sure it is 7:1 and above.
  12. I think they did it because they are dropping the order through catalog thing.
  13. How many combos do you bring with you in total? I bring as many as I can fit and keep them along the passenger seat facing the rear while the boater has his up front. I suggest having a cranking rod then a spinnerbait rod that can be used for deep diving baits. If anything else have an extra reel spooled up with different line that you can slap on another rod. The only problem you run into with a 7ft m is when you are trying to run those super deep crank baits. Having that 7ft mh spinnerbait rod can make a big difference. Say you have the 7ft m, 7ft mh, insert flip/pitch/jigging rod here, then a 7ft spinning rod you can cover almost all of your bases. As a co angler I have accepted the fact that I will need to be able to re tie fairly quickly.
  14. Pure fishing already has a legal department. The last thing they want to do is get in a legal battle because it is bad with PR. Hence why they gave him the free gear. Pure fishing could have had this case wrapped up in court for years if they wanted to .
  15. Exactly my point , this is a great piece of advice.
  16. I actually have a jersey with multiple sponsors so I think I can provide the best advice. First cover your local sponsors and your team. They should be your main focus. I would put your team name front and center as well as your last name on your back just like any other jersey. Then I would put local companies that actually sponsor you on the front in premier spots even if its jims tackle and bobs burgers. After that contact companies and ask them if you can put them on your jersey ( try some of the bass resource sponsors or even bass resource itself you use it enough) . Dont worry about what some of these guys are saying you ,want to promote things you use and like there is nothing wrong with that. Once you have your jersey dont go telling people you are sponsored by lets say Spro when you are not. To be honest a lot of these logos just look cool for instance dobyns rods.
  17. My only thought is that the middle of the boat isnt the best fishing position. I would much rather be in the back on a pedestal.
  18. I might pick one up in my next order. Awesome concept not sure on how well it works though.
  19. Great company to work with, unlike you I do have somewhat of an affiliation but was a satisfied customer before then. The pro series has more padding than the original rod glove. The Rod gloves allows you to store your rods in a bundle without getting a tangled mess. They really do allow you to organize your rods a lot better. I like to use them to organize but to also protect the guides on my rods.
  20. Take out a jig or a texas rig in that case, you can even throw a wacky rig in there. I dont always like throwing crankbaits into really thick trees because they do get caught up a lot. It really depends on the bite, if the fish want a crankbait fire a crankbait in there and do your best to roll in over the limbs.
  21. You can do either, personally I texas rig it. On a shakey head I like to use zoom finesse worms on a stand up head. The round heads only work in certain conditions.
  22. http://www.amazon.com/Yozuri-Test-Green-Fluorocarbon-Hybrid/dp/B00495DLJ4/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1358265414&sr=1-1&keywords=yo+zuri+green+15lb Best I could do was 12lb test. To avoid fraud go to Walgreens and buy one of those pre paid visa gift cards and use that to order it. Visa is good about refunding you your money if someone tries to rip you off, worst case scenario you lose $20 instead of your entire credit rating.
  23. I like fishing the Shad rap sr7 in really shallow water right behind dams. I will throw it in about 2ft of water and drag it along the bottom and almost always get a strike. Its a good cold weather bait that you can find for cheap.
  24. The best way to get a bite around here in small ponds is to throw a 6xd or a similar diver so it runs along the bottom.
