  1. I think you mean you match up the diameter not the lb test....20lb test on a spinning reel would be huge and create all kinds of problems in my opinion. For my spinning reels I use 6lb or 8lb depending what i have laying around.
  2. the only reason they even made a play at Murray was because Gore changed his mind, if he signs in philly there is no murray here. As far as bryant goes, any team would want him for sure, he is a great receiver. The knock on bradford is health not ability. He has never had an offensive line like he is going to be playing behind so we will see what happens. If he stays healthy, i bet he throws for 4,000 yards and 20+ TD next season. The thing is, I think Foles would have probably done the same thing lol
  3. Villanova is for real this season but beating Kentucky is going to be a challenge for any team, they are solid top to bottom.
  4. I was really hoping they would make a play for Andre Johnson. It would not surprise me one bit if they hold tight, pick up a player in the draft and go hard after Dez next season.
  5. they need somebody though and what they have is not going to cut it. As far as Cooper goes, he is a good blocker but that isn't the attribute i am super worried about from my WR position lol he had too many drops, fumbles and lack of effort plays for me last season.
  6. if Sanchez is the starter we are screwed, he is a backup and a good one. As far as cooper goes, he is a total bum but i do like Matthews and Huff. I am sure cooper will be cut after this season though. There is no reason to cut him this year because we would gain nothing as far as cap space goes so might as well keep him on the roster. I wouldn't be surprised if they sign Bowe from KC who was released to make room for Maclin. I like Bowe and think he would be a good fit on this team too
  7. Eagles made a lot of moves and if you look at the backfield as a whole, it is better than it was last year and it costs less and it isn't reliant on one main player. As much as i like shady and hope he plays well, i see how the move made sense. The Foles for Bradford trade has me scratching my head but being i was never a Foles guy, i am indifferent. I think Bradford is solid, if he can stay healthy and he will finally have the luxury of a pretty good offensive line. They shored up the secondary with still some more to do there, got a potential stud at MLB but they are seriously lacking at the WR spot and depth at offensive line is a concern as well. Guess we will see what happens.... and as far as being grossly overpaid, i can't disagree more. people are paid what people are willing to pay. just because you weren't good enough to do it, doesn't mean they shouldn't get paid as much as they want. And as far as allegiance to a team goes, as soon as the teams can't cut you at any time then i will be more inclined to say yeah they should show some allegiance but until then, they need to get paid when the can.
  8. I am learning that is definitely the case. Luckily after showing my faculty student teaching advisor that i have the ability to create a lesson plan using the formal format, she was fine with me using a style that basically has objectives, which standards and then the lesson sequence. Much more useful to me. And classroom management is probably the most important thing in the class. If the students can do what is expected of them and even more so without being told, the day goes by much more smoothly.
  9. Figured i would give another update... Just started week 7 which is really week 6 because we missed a week for snow but anyways....i still love what i am doing and i am pretty much teaching the entire day with creating lesson plans and the like. Had my first formal evaluation and my faculty supervisor was impressed and said she has no concerns on my teaching so far. All in all it is a good time and i am looking forward to the next 5 or 6 weeks and getting my masters and certification.....
  10. a lot of hatcheries have them and sometimes you will hear them called golden trout but the only golden trout are the ones in the east side of the sierras...and you catch those in a place like this
  11. I think you mean albino trout lol
  12. Murray will be on the Eagles....not a huge fan of his but he is the best option out there for sure.
  13. I don't flip in any fish because it is just to much stress on the rod in my opinion. if i am standing i just lean down and lip them and if sitting i do the same thing....nothing too fancy. If it is a toothy critter i may use my lip grip if needed.
  14. Bradford will most likely never wear an eagles uniform, the move was done solely for the picks in an attempt to package them to move up so Chip can get his guy. I am not a fan of the McCoy trade now that Gore changed his mind and is going to Indy. I am not sure why they didn't open up the checkbook a little bit and sign Maclin because they had 51M under the cap. If Kelly hadn't shown that he has the ability to coach over the past two seasons, i would be livid but I gotta give credit to a guy who is doing it his way. I see two outcomes, he goes down as a legend in Philly or he will need the national guard to go to his car at the Linc.....there is no middle ground anymore with what he has done.
  15. Great fish and awesome hat too
  16. I love catching them and am itching to get one on a fly rod. Around here they are not prevalent so it isn't an everyday occurrence but i catch 3-5 a year when fishing for bass. My last one i caught completely destroyed a wake bait too. They are awesome fish and should be enjoyed for the prehistoric fish that they are and not destroyed.
  17. I think what he is saying that his play money is $5 a car so the total is $10...i am guessing he has some good parents who are making him save the other half for something, dare i say, more important than fishing stuff of course i could be wrong though....i usually am
  18. Get what you need and what is the best price not just something to appease you at this time. it is gonna be a little while before the frog bite is on so if the TW price is better, you would be better off getting it from there.
  19. This post reeks of a troll post to me.....not many posts, asks about your favorite bass recipe, then calls out the C&R people as whiners, yet his profile pic he is wearing gloves to handle a fish....and of course he is a predator too lol Now back on topic for myself....i don't keep fish as i fish from a kayak and keeping fish isn't the easiest thing to do
  20. Another vote for citica or a PQ. I own both and they are good reels for he money.
  21. The quick answer is Yes, they are all good i have ordered all the ones that were mentioned and I am not jig master by any means but they all seemed to produce. As far as swim jigs go my recent order consisted of bloody shad, bluegill flash, bluegill and blue sapphire shad. I just wish this winter would go away so i can get out there and chuck them....
  22. I prefer the 3/8 oz. i have tried the heavier ones but I didn't have as much success with them.
  23. I use boot tail trailers and also the stankxbaitco damzel and their sidekick. Both do the job but i seem to have better success with the boot tail versions of trailers.
  24. i think this list should be his next tattoo....like that kid from denmark or wherever it was who got his McDonalds receipt tattooed on his arm
  25. I picked up two on my latest order and am dying to try it out...they look top notch for sure.
