wow, how does the word get out of around 150 boats and it ends up being only 28. Thats a huge difference to me.

Clue me in on where you get them for $80 and on sale for $60. If I recall, St. Croix Premier baistcasting rods run just over $110.

You catching a monster with that, and making millions. That's the worst I can see happening.

Majority of the chatterbait should be white...that is the all purpose color for chatterbaits and spinnerbaits.

Avid just wrote about this. BassMachine, I think you have it backwards. It's bad that one company is buying out all the small competitors because what this does is drive prices up because Rapala won't have these little companies keeping the prices down. I'm sure Normark will keep the terminator packaging on those jigs and spinnerbaits, just like they did the Storm line. The average weekend angler won't even know the deal went down. I'm sure the average fisherman doesn't even know that normark/rapala owns Storm. I can see Rapala prices going up across the board in a year or two. Monopolies suck.

redline, just a question here but doesn't some bass tournament circuits allow a maximum horsepower of 250. I've seen and heard of people with 300 horsepower motors that purchase 250 decals to get by the hp restriction for tournaments. Is your boat a tournament boat or a guide boat?

I'll go with Skeet Reese because I think he might of actually grew up a little bit after having his recent kid.

I'm looking for somebody to build me a custom lipless crankbait rod. 7' Medium Power, Moderate Action with a 9-10" butt section. I would like the blank to be a dark blue or cranberry red color. I am looking for a rod builder that can build this rod. I've already looked into crazy fish rods and they couldn't help me because they use there own parts, that I wasn't happy with. Does ReelMech build rods and is he experienced?

I thought, wd40 was environmentally friendly.

That was a well known touring professional and the name slips my mind right now.

I need a translator.

I've fished with St. Croix Premiers for the past 4-5 years and as of this past season, started switching over to Falcon Cara Reactions. Someone should put up a poll for this topic.

I heard those blue st. croix bass tournament rods are pretty much the same thing as the premeirs except they are blue. ha ha.

Couldn't you just call up your local ProCraft dealer, they should know, I would think.

Redline, did you get a dual or single console? Did you go with Lowrance and Minnkota? That thing had to of cost over $55K.... You will get it next week, and I will steal it from you in 2 weeks. You might as well call your insurance lady and order a new boat on monday.

Are these the blue bass rods st. croix came out with last season?

Those bill dance bloopers are all made up. You don't really take that seriously do you? Come on, how does a trailer come unhooked from the ball and how do the safety chains magically come undone also? All those bloopers are fake to sell a video.

I've used all of those programs, and Explorer is by far the best program. Mozilla Firefox is garbage and has just as many issues.

I've used premiers for the past 5 years and had great results with them, never had an issue. Worth the money.

How exactly would that void the warranty?

Look at Falcon Rods, they have descriptions of what each rod is good for.

I'm guessing they allow you to switch that around. Take out the screws and see if you can rotate the head to see if other holes lineup.

Would a spray of WD40 on the guides help this matter? or just push the button at the butt of the rod that warms the rod up.

Thats a huge boat. Is it coming with electronics in it already, or is that the next step in your building process?

Find the closest drop off to where you usually fish for smallies in the spring time. On the St. Croix in Hudson, I found them off the drop off of a main point on the river in around 7-8 feet. I'd camp on the point in around a foot or two of water, and cast down the drop off and reel towards the shallower water. Worked for me. If your lake is 6' feet at the deepest, I'm thinking those fish travel to a deeper part of the river, since that area probably freezes all the way to the bottom. You should be able to find the smallies in that 6' hole early fall.
