without a doubt it is worth the extra $, imo. I sold off all my tournament and am all TP now.

lol "my slogan" for Costa's has always been 'seeing life in HD' people never believe me until they try them on......as far as the field and streams from dick I will say I was surprised when I tried on a guys at work on. for $25 they are awesome, they are "brighter" than the costas, but I don't think they have the water seeing ability.

don't get ANYTHING LESS than the 580glass.....save pennies if you have to, its worth it. Also.... try on several frames BEFORE you buy, lots of frames will fit good, but then you will put on the next and they will be perfect. so try several!

"whining" about 2oz, 6 inches, and $15??? none of yall throw hudds then huh?

the entry level Lew's speed spool is hard to beat, can be found on Ebay for $75, maybe a shade less. not a better BC out there for the price.

I used a dobyns dx742spinning this summer. now with in the last month I have switched to a dx702c casting set up, both are great DS rods.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FOR SURE!!!!!! glad you alright.

TW has one of the pinnacles on sale......IDK which one just passing it along.

I got my invoice thusday so I should get mine back next week. cant wait to get them back 6 lews TP supertuned and bocas 2 cores supertuned, bocas, carbonex and a Dobyns rod that needed a guide (waiting on invoice) Mike must be backed up with lots of reels, it did take a little while, but I bet it was worth the wait. so yall better get in line and send em in.

to anyone that believes the globe does not have our level of violence or anyone that wants to know why please enjoy this read: http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2007/3417grossman_reprint.html School shooting info and the change of thought process article and video http://www.policeone.com/active-shooter/articles/2058168-Active-shooters-in-schools-The-enemy-is-denial/ great video http://www.policeone.com/training/videos/5954201-perspectives-lt-colonel-dave-grossman-on-school-violence-causes-response you might have to cut and paste the links, as I dont know how to make them clickable. we could quickly go into the realm of politics in this thread, I HOPE we do not cross that line. This a healthy talk we need to have. I believe the Col Grossman has it right, many may not. please agree to disagree and move on quickly.

I love "col. G".......he is one awesome person, smarter than a whip and his service to the country is life long. through his military service, teaching at West Point, and Arkansas State , and training courses he has touched 10000s of lives. While attending ASU, my sister was lucky enough to be his grad assisant for 2 years. the above article is great, as his many books are as well.

it really dont matter. as said before it is heavy enough. I choose to throw mine on a Lews TP paired with a dobyns dx743 on 12# line.

RW, that knot just looks "wadded" to me.......I know its not but it just looks weird cinched down. do you use this knot often?

i like the anaconda more than I like the thumper.

not knocking shaw, but that close up of the knot didnt look that pretty. I have always used the improved clinch, easy for me to tie and one I can make pretty stacked coils with.

traveler..... do your hands sweat bad in those gloves? they sound top-notch.

yes, the FootJoy rain soft are pretty good.....the winter soft is too.

then you arent buying enough fishing gear then !

I am throwing everything with a BC with the proper rod and reel I am throwing 1/8 ballheads with zoom trick worm. if only I could learn to skip now.

exactly what i needed, I went to the website earlier, but never clicked the picture of the model I was looking for. your info produced the EXACT chart I was looking for. THANKS

what are the IPT of the gear ratios shimano uses? never see them on TW or the like. please inform.

this is the reason Major League Fishing is the best, no dead fish.

I use the VMC spinshot hooks (love them) and I reel into the fish and lift the rod, no setting. Caught 4 pounders doing this. this is also Glenn's "method" of drop shot hook setting.

for me, its hard to beat the Tatsu. I had 10# on a spinning outfit this summer , and over the winter I will be putting it on everything.
