  1. Id fish that mother humper all day everyday till I caught it again. If I was even a bit certain a state record was holding up in the pond, I'd go Billy the Kid regulator on it! Just use a Mustard Hook. Land her and its 20k
  2. I think what people are missing is the position Coach Paterno had. I say Coach for a reason. Reguardless of PA law about reporting felonies, a coach is one held to higher standards. PSU is throwing him under the buss and trying to take the blame off of themselves. "Coach Paterno should have done more" etc is their gripe. The whole d**n university is to blame. Coach should have done more. By taking his statue and wins away, all PSU is saying is Coach Paterno is the guilty one. Not sandusky or the university. No one trolls around a college for boys and doesn't get noticed. Everyone knew including the administration. My question is how long and what else got covered up. No amount of penility will make this go away or lie down. As much as I hate to say it, a college is an institutation of higher learning. Punish the program not the students. I say 10 year explusion of the football program.
  3. Been there done that even got the crappy T-shirt to boot! I say this only because I was in your shoes September of 2010. It's now August of 2012 and I sir am a better man than I was then. I had one adopted son and 4 foster kids, brand new house, cars etc. All taken away. It sucks like nothing in this world. The hurt can't be explained at all. Eventually you will get over it. But no matter what anybody says right now you will think we are full of ****. Best advice I can give you, stay off the booze, stay off the drugs and do not bash or talk crap about your ex in front of your son. 20 years from now your son will look back and know who the bad person was and you won't have to explain why you treated his mom like crap back when.
  4. The 48 dollar Vendetta is the MH or H 7'3"-7'6" models at Academy Sports
  5. Any problem with a leader getting hung up with the micro guides?
  6. This was going to help my questions how?
  7. Now what makes it worse, is I found the Vendettas new for 48 shipped now. Arggg
  8. How thick is the backbone on the Vendetta compared to the Veritas?
  9. So the medium has is pretty loose? I was hoping for that as I wanted it to throw small jigs and plastics
  10. Thanks alot guys. What dont you like about the reel seat?
  11. Isn't the idea of an actual drop shot weight to break off if you get hung up and not loose the whole rig?
  12. What size lure are you using and what's the rod specs
  13. Hey all. I posted this same questionnaire on the Diesel rod and got some good results so I wanted to try this rod too. To all the Abu Garcia Veritas owners I have a few questions. Overall how well do you enjoy your rods? I'm really interested in the 7' Medium casting rod. Any issues with braid or fluoro tearing up the eyelets? Honestly if you had another 90 bucks and needed another rod, would you get another? What about the micro guides. Are they worth buying? How is the backbone on this rod? Any issues with breakage when ripping a bass out of cover? Thanks in advance.
  14. I mainly use poppers (next to Jigs my favorite go to bait) in the early AM and late evening. I know they are an all day bait, but I have had the best of luck using them at those times.
  15. I think if you took a poll here, 50/50 would say they use a leader as compared to those who dont. Fluoro is more used as a leader than mono, but guys do use it. For the money, I would say splurge and get some good Fluoro if you are going to use it. Your only using 6-8 feet for a leader so a 200 yard spool will last a lonnnnnnnnng time
  16. Thanks! I will run a rage craw with my 1/4 oz jigs, but I just wondered as it advertises that you can throw it. The tons of backbone I love. Thanks again
  17. I like it for top water Poppers. I like to let my bait sit for a few seconds and it doesnt sink near as bad as Fluoro
  18. You left that wide open lol I will give them a look
  19. I have one and like it. I'm just really wanting something with a very thick backbone.
  20. To all the Powell Diesel owners I have a few questions. Overall how well do you enjoy your rods? I'm really interested in the 7'6" MH XF casting rod. Any issues with braid or fluoro tearing up the eyelets? Honestly if you had another 70 bucks and needed another rod, would you get another? Specs say it will handle a 1/4oz bait. With this MH how well can you toss a 1/4oz jig or plastic? How is the backbone on this rod? Any issues with breakage when ripping a bass out of cover? Thanks in advance. I'm really interested in this rod but my local Bass Pro doesn't carry it so I can't fondel it.
  21. Are you talking a pour concrete rock wall or dumped rock wall? On the dumped rock walls I like to bounce a jig up and down. I have also been having a decent time using a drop shot with a trick worm over them. Not sure if I am doing it right or not as I am a newby with the rig, but I catch fish.
