I have a ton of stuff to work on. But the first thing that comes to mind is working on (and being patient with) finesse tactics.

Thank you for the very informative reply

Has anyone seen these for $60 bucks? Is the Trion spinning reel anywhere near as good as the President? Is the rod on the combo decent, or junk? My brother is planning to get back into fishing this spring, and he wants to start with one good spinning setup. I told him he should get a president and find a pretty nice rod to pair it with. He's wanting to spend no more than $100 though, and "preferably no more than 60 or 80". That's total for rod and reel. So I was curious when I saw the Trion combo at Bass Pro today. I didn't think much about the rod it was on until after I got home though. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I've gotten some good deals on name brand soft plastic lots on ebay.

Congratulations!

You might want to try a couple of jerk baits.

Color? Size? Brand? Just curious. Thanks.

Please let us know how it works for you. If it does suspend perfectly I may have to add a couple to my shopping cart.

^^^What he said.

Thanks for the responses guys. I actually do have an injury to my neck. But the main problem while fishing, as I said earlier, is the lower back. I've been meaning to see a doctor, and I'll stop putting it off. Exercise, stretching and losing a few pounds could be all I need. I'll get a doctor's opinion on it soon though.

Yeah, it's mostly lower back strains for me. I have some bad neck problems too. But fishing seems to aggravate the lower back issue more. I already drink plenty of water. But perhaps I do need to start doing more stretching/

Anyone else have back problems? I'm always in pain when I'm bass fishing. But I love fishing, so I just grit my teeth and bare it. Today was one of those days though... Worse pain than usual, and to add insult to injury, I didn't even get a bite. It's pretty discouraging. I'm sure I'm not the only one here with back problems. So how do the rest of you deal with it?

I recently got my first one piece now that I have a truck, and not just my crappy little car to transport my gear. I do like it better, but I don't think it's a huge difference.

I know where you're coming from Caylub. I too, would like to thank everyone here. I've learned a lot in a short amount of time, and I'm still learning every day.

Usually the improved clinch knot for me. Never had a problems with it.

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm really glad you and your friend are ok. And kudos to Steve the boater, and the police for helping you.

Yep. Currently still at $29.98 on the website. Great deal.

Being the NL Champions, and winning a couple of world series games qualifies as showing up in my book. The Cards were somewhat disappointing to me in the series, especially with how poorly they batted with runners in scoring position. But I'm still proud of my team. Just getting TO the world series is quite an accomplishment. I've kind of disliked the Sox ever since '04. But still, good for Boston and the fans.

Well, we had a good season anyway. Congrats, Sox fans.

I have to agree completely with this. Every once in a while I'll eat a crappie or channel cat. But I fish for fun, and almost always c & r. But if the guy isn't breaking the law, I'd just leave it alone, although I would find it incredibly annoying.

Hot pocket. lol

Yeah, I don't know what he was thinking. Anyway, as crazy as this series has been, it's anyone's to win. Should be interesting to say the least.

It really was disappointing to have the game end that way. But I think Craig would have scored easily had he not tripped on the third baseman.
