Hi Salenity

I have several TPs. You can buy them for around $150 NEW on Ebay, and at that price point they are my favorite reel.

That rod will have more flex before the "backbone" of the rod. They will help keep a fish buttoned up with a treble hook bait that doesn't need a hard hookset. Some flipping rods are also Moderate action. This makes me scratch my head some because you can turn a fish around faster and keep them out of trees better with a faster action. I guess this is done with the rods length.

I'm using 147gr Hydra-Shok in my 9mm & handloads in my 45s

1-8? fow 3/8-5/8 oz 8-15' fow= 5/8-1 oz

Sounds GREAT!!!

Both will work but I use a medium. And think it works a lot nicer.

We got down to 30 Sunday morning and 33 this morning.The tops of my Tomato plants have been happier but I think they'll live. Where in MO are you?

What's the Pink "worm"?

My boat was the slowest one last time and we did fine, and that was with the 100mph winds.

Be careful if you mix the colors the colors will bleed together. You can trust me on this!

A photo will be fine but not mandatory. this is for fun, so we have no reason to lie to one another. But you know if you have 5- 20''+ smallies and no pics of them...... well I have a golden rule I'd use to photograph the length of my fish on if I was lucky enough to get one over 13'' lol. Just remember to measure mouth closed and tail pinched together. BTW, Thats a HAWWWWG in your Avatar. CONGRATS!

Sooooo, boats in the water and ready to fish at 7?

Hey guys, lets figure out a start time for this thing. I have ARCA tickets for Friday night but if we are going to start at daylight I need to know so I can back out of going to the race. It makes no difference to me what time we start but the fishing may be the best first thing in the morning.

We'll put you down for Beer if you don't pick something to bring.

Just so some people can see what we are dealing with the crank on the left was brand new and only fished for 30 minutes? I wish the camera was able to capture the rest of the nicks in the line but I think you should be able to see at least one nick.

Has anyone tried Seaguar AbrazX?

I think they need to call them Razor clams instead of Zebra Mussels. Last time we went to Melvin Peter spooled a reel with Nano. That was a huge failure. LOL. I wonder about Tatsu, doesn't it have a harder outer "shell" I have it on one of my jig rods but I don't fish a jig alot there.

That guy has a huge arm!

How was the wind Today?

I don't think that's going to work. Remember Blue is working the night before and will be short on extra time, and no one should have to volunteer to go buy all the stuff and hope it doesn't rain and everyone shows up so that they can get reimbursed... I'll bring a dozen Brats

Looks like I need to throw a crawfish crank more often.

I had to check, I had no idea they actually sold it by the gallon! lol

Nice fish!
