Nba Eastern Conference Finals
I could never root for Lebron! I just can not stand him, granted he is a great player but the way he handled the whole Cleveland situation was terrible. Now if the Heat did not have Lebron, then I would have no problem rooting for them, except for when they are playing the Celtics! I hope the Celtics can pull it off tonight, but if not I will be rooting for the Thunder!

Still Just Dont Get It, Just Not For Me.
I have both Lews and Shimano reels and I can honestly say that after over a year of fishing my Lews Tournament Pro Reels I am more then happy with them over my Curado E reels. I have had no problems with my Lews reels and have just performed normal maintenance on them, clean, lube, etc... I will say that having a dual braking system is not needed but on those days of fishing when its pretty windy, it is nice to have the option to dial in some magnetic brake. But most of the time the magnetic is set to 0 and I only have 2 of the centrifugal brakes on. As for the looks, I absolutely love the flat black look and the carbon fiber handle and I love the paddle type knobs. The finish is verdy duarble and has held up very well. Both the Lews and Shimano reels are outstanding and it is going to be completely up to the user as to what they like and what they want to use. I like both reels but I prefer my Lews reels.

Okuma Helios And Pinnacle Optimus Xt
I am curious to hear some feedback on the Okuma Helios, that reel is just awesome looking!

Sunglasses Question.
Huge difference! The cheaper glasses just don't have the best polarized lenses and the better the polarized lense the better they are going to be. I have prescription Oakley sunglasses with Oakley polarized lenses and I would never use anything else again, well worth the $$$$

Iphone App For Lake That Is Not In Navionics
I know what your talking about. Their is a APP for Droid phones that lets you set all sorts of things. I haven't found anything like it yet for my iPhone. So I just use the GPS and way points etc...

At What Size Bass Do You Get Excited Over?
I alos get excited when I get a bite and pretty much catch anything. But really anything over 3lbs really gets the blood pumping good!

Yozuri Hybird
Ah yes 20lbs braid! Really up to you and what you like. All the lines mentioned will work very well. But Yo-Zuri is by far one of my favorite lines.

Green Or Clear Line?
I don't worry about line color. I use clear, green, camo, timber brown etc... I just don't believe it makes much difference, at least not with moving baits.

Rod Advice Needed
I would really look at the Cumaras since they are on sale. Awesome rods. In that price range their are a lot of choices. St Croix, Dobyns, Powell, Daiwa, Loomis etc...

Yozuri Hybird
Both work very well, but the Ultra Soft is the better choice for spinning gear.

Nhl Playoffs
The Kings just flat out got hot at the right time of the year. Its all about carrying over the momentum into and thru the playoffs. I believe they will close out the Devils tonight. The Devils just look flat!

Smokin Rooster
I have tried fishing them like a swim jig as suggested earlier and I still have not caught any fish on one yet. I am by no means giving up on them the action is great, I guess its only a matter of time till I prevoke one into bighting it.

Northstar Jig Rage Tail Chunk Combo?
I agree the fish don't care what brand jig or brand of trailer. But a Northstar Jig with a Rage Tail Chunk is a pretty deadly combo in my book.

Bps Carbonlite Rods, Would Like Some Feedback
The Carbonlite rods are very nice looking and very light, I have never fished one of them. But I do have the JM Signature Series rod and it has been a very nice surprise to me. Very sensitive and powerful, so I can't see the Carbonlite being to far behind the JM Signatures series.

New Baitcaster!
I have been fishing the 1 Qunatum Smoke I have since they came out and I have been very surprised so far. No problems and very smooth and very nice drag. I tried one just do soley to the looks of the reel. With that said I would go with either reel and I believe you will be very happy.

Bps Carbonlite Vs. Signature Series
I have fished both of them and both are very nice reels. The Carbonlite is much lighter and is very smooth and has a very nice drag and is comfortable to fish all day long. The Signature series is a little smoother and has a very nice drag as well but it is heavier and has a bigger frame size and to me is not as comfortable to fish all day long.

Lews Speed Spool Vs. Shimano Curado
I have several Lews Tournament Pro reels and have been using them for the past 2 years and have had no problems with them at all. I also have a couple for the Curado E series reels and have had no problems with them either. The Curado G series to me from what I have seen of them in the store it feels and looks like a green Citica, not impressed with them at all. I have never fished the Speed Spool but I have heard nothing but good things on these reels, for that matter I have heard nothing but good things about all of the Lews reels.
