i don't recommend running the knot through the guides for an extended period of time. i have found it wears on the knot and you could experience failure.

christmas eve approaching. what's on the menu?

the stradic is tough to beat if you have the cash. another reel i am very impressed with is the shimano symetre. i actually use them more then stradic's

havoc makes some nice cheap baits. i used the pit boss with good success this season.

Manns -1 for the shallow water

i have no experience like this but just remember he is your father and nobody can ever replace him. i wish you the best of luck

Thanks for the replies guys. I am liking the sealskinz!

i have rather large hands (being 6'3"). i'm looking for a glove fairly easy to fish with. don't need anything to fancy but need something warm. any recomendations?

I like Gamakatsu octopus hooks as well. I have tried the "wacky" hooks but i always seem to find the hook shank to be to small

welcome home brotha

been dieting. trying to lose a few pound and working out (cardio). lately it's been chicken and veggies, keeping my carbs low. down 9 lbs in two weeks. 10 more lbs to my goal weight

any mono will do fine. i would stay away from fluorocarbon though. i don't like but maybe you will

i use berkley trilene XL for most of my fishing. if i'm fishing nasty stuff i use 15-30lb power pro

I generally use black all the time. but i have caught on white and charteuse as well

i stick my hand in my bag and whatever i pull out is what i use LOL

my ex has a nook. she had no complaints

last night i had sirloin steak (a1 steak sauce) with baked potato, mixed veggies and a salad.
