  1. More times than not, yes. If im given an option I would always choose the downstream point. Always check both(sand drops) If theres an opening or closing dam from a another backwater at the front of an island, the top point of an island can often times be the feature fish hang on if its the result of an eddy. Im also referncing larger river systems like the Mississippi, not smaller interior rivers/tributaries. Sand drops are one of those things that most peopke idle by and dont think anything of them but can hold tons of fish.
  2. This has always bewildered me for spring floods or just river fishing in general. You can go into the greatest backwater area /w perfect isolated laydowns or an isolated rock lined shore, all of which can hold zero fish, and they fish just stack up on a sand drop on an island point that is completely featureless.
  3. Swim jigs -dobyns 734-7:1 OG zillion-15# fluoro chatterbaits/spinners-dobyns 733-tuned curado 51e-15# fluoro i use them because they work really well for the weights i use and areas i throw them in
  4. A football jig typically has a lighter wire hook then your every day casting and flipping Jigs to go along with a larger head design. A rod that is typically one power down then what I use allows me to not overwork the bait along with letting a fish load up easier in deeper water. i'm also not fishing in cover and almost always fishing boulders or wing dams with a football jig so pulling a fish out of cover is in a necessity it's more so keeping smallmouth and in current . I've tried both the DX 745 and nrx894(my jig rod) and jigs with heavier wire hooks. I did not have the same success
  5. Jordy Nelson should lead all ballots for MVP this year
  6. Typically a longer ride in the medium heavy range. With my jig rides I typically always go lean on the heavier side power wise because I would rather have the power then not have it when needed… Except for football Jigs. I don't use bone jarring and swing for the fence hook sets on football Jigs. I let the fish load up and real set them so I go down a power generally in the rod
  7. Hanks tackle in Waterloo Iowa has some leftover I'm not sure which ones though if you want I can stop by tomorrow as I will be driving through the town
  8. I think they're comfortable but I can certainly understand why someone thinks they're not. My NRX is more or less custom but it has a stock real seat. I have a daiwa TDZ type R plus on mine and it fits perfectly when I palm and I have very large hands.
  9. 766 would be mu choice if using 1.5oz. 1oz amd undrer the 765 would suffice. 766 is the beefiesy rod they make. However, the dx795 is on sale for 199 and you can save even more by using giftcards. Thats the best punching rod ive ever used.
  10. Np guys. It was fun. I will definitely be doing this again next year!
  11. I don't think I could even make this stuff up....seriously... "His best cover is the element of surprise" http://darkthirtynews.com/man-arrested-for-breaking-into-homes-and-tickling-butholes/
  12. I thought Hagane is now taking the place of their older "Paladin technology"..if I read what little I could find on it correctly. So if their Paladin gearing was cold forged aluminium..and Hagane is a slight upgrade or w/e to it..their gearing is Hagane but some of their body materials are also Hagane as well making their framing materials (that are alluminium) made of the same materials that their gears are even if the reels /w xship are using brass gears? I'm so F$%#$ing confused. I quit.
  13. Wow..didn't realize it was over before Chris was even done! Smallies, your 50$ is on the way! Chris, I'm going to fly back to 1992 and send you a check for 150$ most likely Tuesday
  14. To the two gentlemen in the championship: Smallies24/7(Kai) vs LastCall721(chris) (I believe I got your usernames correct) We have a ridiculous winter storm coming tomorrow and I have to travel for work on Monday If there is a lack of activity on here after today...that's why. I may or may not have internet access or be home after the Monday night game to send out payment right after the game. I need both of you to PM me how you would like payment sent to you and include all your information. You can also e-mail me through our league homepage if you prefer that. I'll probably send out the payment Tuesday afternoon. I'll pm you both when I send it though so you know. Good luck guys!
  15. could that line judge throw the ball much higher in the air to the other ref to spot the ball at the end of CLE vs KC game before time ran out..somebody has KC def on their fantasy team...w..t..f was that. NE REALLY needs to get healthy.....wow they looked terrible. I didn't watch the BAL vs PIT game. Did Ben just not show up or did BAL finally decide to stop somebody's pass game?
  16. Whoever had those 2 holding penalties for ATL should be benched...I don't understand were you thinking. Thank god Shayne Graham was clutch. Cam loses the ball when he gets a second chance! That was one HECK of a game...way to go ATL!
  17. one time...let's go ATL!
  18. Julio Jones...you're the best.
  19. with the sideplate off that sound isn't too abnormal because tolerances aren't fastened down w/o the side plate. With the side plate on though, it just sounds like something isn't seated correctly but then again your phone could be amplifying the sound to make it more than it is. HArd to say really.
  20. Car vs Atl turning into a good one. Jets beating NE at the half and brady starts the 3rd off /w a pick......countdown to SJAX being taken out for James White and Brady going off for 3 unanswered TDS in the second half..not looking too good here....
  21. Every company has their own sales catch phrase. You aren't pointing out something that every other company hasn't done themselves in the past or won't continue to do. It's part of sales. You started this whole stupid argument with how your initial comments came off. malicious or not.
  22. Are your gears dry and need grease....? Looks like the housing is seated corrected and nothing looks out of place.
  23. Aside from I guess TorqueConvertor, there probably isn't a single person that has actually used InvisX that would argue it has "less stretch" than most monos. I would assume he was referring to good handling /w InvisX and low stretch /w shooter and just didn't type it out coherently.
  24. He didn't say fluorocarbons don't stretch....he said low stretch in regards to shooter...to which he is correct.
