Favorite Superbowl Commercial 2015
I liked the Dodge one where they had people over 100 talking about life and the guy at the end lighting up the rear tires on a challenger.

Landscaping Help!!
Could you dig around/up root them a bit then tie a tow chain or something like it around the stump and pull them out of the ground with the tractor/truck?

Tow Vehicle Mpg
03 path finder 1k in tow about 17-20 without a boat I would guess 15-16 with. I can't even feel it behind the suv. Plus the boat launch is 3 miles away. I'm a lucky guy.

Tbt Report ~
This was a good Saturday afternoon for me high 60's low 70's over cast slight breeze. The one in the upper right smashed my fluke a foot from the transom scared the crap out me. Don't want to wish my life away but can't wait to get back out there.

Potentially Historic Snowstorm
What cracks me up is all these scenes of people at the supermarket. Now I don't want to judge or know everyone's situation but are really that many people who don't have enough food to hold them over for a day or two at most? I dunno I don't get it. It's the northeast same thing happens every year and some how civilization marches on. Except that storm in western New York at the beginning of the year. That was crazy.

Fdx Back In Black Rod Build
Very nice; all I have to say is man I'm lucky I don't live near mudhole otherwise I'd be broke living in a shack made out of fishing rods.

Using Braid For Soft Platics
I fish only braid on my spinning reels and love it. There is one major draw back though and that is slack line sensitivity. Make a cast into the wind and get a large bow in your line and you will have a hard time feeling the bottom. Leave your bait in place on the bottom and drop your rod tip you will have a hard time feeling the bottom or a bite. How many fish has this lost me? I dunno. There are always trade offs to be made. There is a writer for in fisherman that has wrote an article or two about finessing and he prefers flouro. I might give it a try but don't want a dedicated bottom contact rig. Time will tell but for me the trade offs with braid are worth it at this point.

Any One Try The Salty Sticks By Keitech?
Do they suck as in durability or in that they don't catch fish?

Blank For My First Build
Yes it would. I gather many peoples first rods don't turn out how they expect. Sometimes it's better to learn on something less expensive if mistakes will bother you. I have been in a mode now where I like to try different things on less expensive blanks and take what I like and carry it forward on more expensive projects.

Blank For My First Build
One of my favorites is stcroix sc3 medium light fast. About double the mhx but it's my favorite so the $$ doesn't matter much to me. One thing to look at are the butt and tip dimensions. An example I recently purchased an rx7 sj781. This rod is rated as a light power but truth be told I think it will have more power that the ml stcroix. The butt on the croix is .4xx Compared to .5xx on the rx7. I bought the rx7 without looking at these dimensions and just going off the numbered power; with the hopes it would be lighter than the croix but that is not the case. Not a big deal as it's still a nice blank and I think will work great for casting grubs but just wanted to throw something else in the mix for you to think about

Excited to see how this handles some brown fish in the summer. Might end up having the brown fish handing it to me; either way should be fun.
