Question: Should I Tip Delivery Drivers?
And if that last post didn't make any sense, I appoligize, Ive been up for 47 hours and have 3.5 left to go before my weekend starts. I'm starting to get a bit crazy.

Question: Should I Tip Delivery Drivers?
I have found that jobs that don't pay worth a hoot, are not worth my time waisted on idot customers. That being said, I am a lousy tipper. I get paid a lousy wage myself, but I love my job and that extra 5 bucks or so is a lot to me. I have worked as a delivery driver, waiter etc and know the value of good service. I only tip, if they impress me. If I spend half the meal chasing down a waiter or waiting for a refill on my beer, they aint getting a dime from me. That being said, for pizza delivery drivers, when you do tip them, that pizza does get to my house much quicker.

My Crankbait Keeps Going To The Right
I'm on my iPhone right now or I would link the video, but google bassresource on YouTube. Glenn made a video on how to fix the problem. Basically you take a pair of needle nose pliers and bend the eyelet in the opposite direction until it tracks straight. Do just a little bit at a time. Edit: Found the video.

Favorite Worm
I don't throw a lot of worms, but when I do, it usually a 7.5" Culprit curl tail in red shad or black with chart tail. My old man used them and taught me to fish using them. They work for me and its a lot of good times remembered.

Old Tackle..
This may not be the case here, but I have seen where lakes and ponds that are fished hard by several people, the fish tend to be more shy. Most if not all of the fish in said lake or pond have never seen those before. Sometimes what seems like it won't work does.

Crankin' Reel
I don't throw enough spinner baits to really know what works, but for crankbaits and jerkbaits I love as slow as I can get. My Pro Qualifier is a 4.7:1

Rage Craw Packaging
Academy is 50/50 with and without. I always though someone was stealing them. I make a point of stopping by every Monday morning and seeing what's in the bargain bin. A lot of times they have rage craws that someone has swiped one or two and they mark em down to 48 cents

Fishing In The Wind
Excellent day for Jigs! I have a few different lakes I go to when its windy like that. If the wind is out of the south, I fish a lake with a huge d**n behind me to knock the wind down. I plan my trips around the wind

Autumn Jig Fishing
When the cooler weather hit here, my bite started to fall too. I switched to more green colored jigs/trailers and the bite picked back up some.

What Do You Consider A Trophy-Sized Fish?
I consider everyone a trophy at the hook set. lol I would condsider any fish that makes or breaks your own personal best a trophy. I caught a 4.2 pound LM out of Lake Hefner in OKC last year. While thats an average fish for these parts, for that lake it was a giant. Largest LM taken from there, that was reported, was 5 pounds so I guess you could say mine was a trophy for that lake.

Asking For Trouble...
So bump it to a 7' MH Micro or a 7'3" MH regular guide and you have basically a do everything combo. Jigs, Texas rigs, spinner baits and even cranks.

The Tech at pure fishing told me they went with a new manufacture on them. Wouldn't say anything else though

Asking For Trouble...
If you really like the new Revo and Veritas I recommend to grab it. I have mine paired with a 7' micro guide rod. It's my topwater rig. It's my favorite combo I have. Very lightweight about 12 ounces with line and feel grips. Fully exposed reel seat and its very sensitive.

Question For Reloaders
I use Hornady One Shot on handgun and Dillon case lube on rifle. The Dillon seems a bit greesier (is that a word) but makes it smoother.

Question For Reloaders
How thick is the barrel? Anything moving that fast with that light of a bullet needs a d**n pilot on it lol. Where you see the major difference is with a bull barrel. I love the maximum carnage on pdogs too. I use a bit heavier bullet but I go with a V-max bullet for the splat

Question For Reloaders
The only time I ran rifle off a progressive was when loading SHTF 556 and 308 ammo. Other than that, all my rifle was loaded off the single stage. It's more accurate and you can better control the variables. The lock n load will speed things way up with the single stage process. Ya all you will need is dies and a case trimmer with that kit. The Lee case trimmers are cheap. You don't absoutley need to clean the cases everytime but its recommended. Mainly to get all the oil and dirt off your brass. A good tumbler is a god send when loading though. Several companies make them, I recommend a vibratory tumbler over a rotary one. They are easier to use. Dillon Precision makes a killer tumbler called the CV500. As for moly coating your bullets, I moly every bullet. It cuts wayyyyyyy down on fouling, cleaning and cuts way down on friction which will keep your barrel cooler. I have proven it works when using an auto loader. I use Lyman moly powder. I take a large pill bottle and peel the label off. Cut apart 2 steel shot shotgun shells and dump the pellets into the bottle. Pour about 1/2 teaspoon of powder in the bottle. Cap and throw into the tumbler for a few hours. All bullets coated evenly. Dump onto a rag and remove pellets. I take the bullets and dump them in a sock and rub then around to help remove the excess moly. Moly is kinda a pain to use. It's not 100% needed but I prefer it.
