I went in with a buddy about 4:00 and they were pretty much cleaned out except some of the small models. Oh well I will keep,throwing my rapala clackin cranks I got for a steal

Yeah I thought they would franchise him too but he did rock in the playoffs, 11td and no picks is pretty impressive.

Me too....

I have used those too, I think they are marketed towards musky and pike but bass love them too.

The problem is if they let him walk who do they replace him with that is as good? He had perfect timing and his checkbook appreciates it.

Dude called his shot and won....they wanted to sign him before the season and he rolled the dice and said let's see what happens and then he has a historic playoff run. Congrats to him and like I always say nobody is overpaid because someone thought they were worth what they are paying, now overvalued is a different story

Since you already have sunglasses then go with a rod but i wll say that getting a good pair of glass lens sunglasses like costas will show you a lot of what you have been missing. I used to wear oakleys then smiths (which i think ar ehte best plastic lens sunglasses out there) and bought a pair of costas last year and the clarity isn't even a comparison.

Wow this is a lot of effort. Think of it this way, you keep the honest people honest and make it difficult for the thieves to steal your stuff but at the same time don't go crazy to the point that if they want it they trash everything in the process. Call your insurance company, get your deductible decreased and hope for the best

No experience here either but PP Super slick is good stuff.....just reloaded on spools at the 20% off BPS sale

Someone who wants your stuff is going to take it no matter where it is. If you keep it stored in your back yard that is fenced you will prevent any of your normal "opportunity" thieves. The others, just make an insurance claim. I guess the other option is getting a dog in the backyard as a barking dog usually deters most would be thieves who move on to easier, quieter options.

I think this year the concern was the weigh in was a considerable distance from the lake. There was a post one here talking about a week or so ago.

I have a best buy credit with rewards that i use for groceries and gas and i can pretty much do all of my christmas shopping each year with the rewards. To me if there is no annual fee then any rewards is better than no rewards.

The thing to remember about draft picks in general is it is a crap shoot at best. Look at the number of busts in the top 5 over the years and realize that bust potential grows exponentially later in the rounds. If i was a GM i woudl trade away every pick i had to get known NFL talent and work from there. Conditional picks are the same way. THey are only a higher round IF the player performs at a predetermined level so in essence they played better than you anticipated so you pay more for that pick but in the long run, who cares if the player is doing what you wanted.

I use Rapala X-raps mostly in Clown and perch colors and will also throw the silver body black back one as well.

Definitely on my fishing bucket list but I hear logistics can be difficult since it is pretty much all private riverbanks.

I took advantage of the last dal they ran and now own three rage rods and am completely happy with them for the price. I have the 7'1" MF and I have used it for shaky heads and it does a good job. I haven't caught but one fish but it is still cold here but I have no doubts it will perform well given my experience with the rod so far.

The colder the water the longer the pause. I have caught fish after the bait sat for almost a minute and I know people who let them sit even longer.

I'll agree on Eli but i don't think ben has ever had an MVP caliber season. To me a game manager is more of a result of a style of offense too. Most offenses that run first and foremost could probably get away with a game manager type QB. You could probably argue that Troy Aikman was a game manager too. He did what was needed to win and didn't hurt the team while handing the ball to smith for 35 times a game. I guess it is more that all great QB are game manager types with the possibility of throwing for 350 and 3 tds any given sunday where a game manager type won't lose a game for you and will put up monster numbers maybe once or twice a season at best.

I am a line watcher myself and two people up front just makes it so you can both fish the same structure at the same time but i fish from a kayak so what do i know

Eli's first superbowl he was a game manager, you could probably throw big ben in there too as a game manager and make a case. Flacco got hot during the playoffs i will give you that but look at his career regular season stats, they scream game manager. Low TD, Yards and picks. With a stud like Jamal Charles that team should be leaning on him like they already do and the QB, while important, isn't the focal point of the offense.

I pedaled one of the older models and apaprently they changed the gearing and pitch of the propeller on the newer models to increase speed but i haven't tried one so i can't speak from experience. I have heard that the mirage drive turbo fins are pretty fast. The other thing to consider to is that the native uses more of a recumbent bike pedal stroke, circular, where the hobie uses more of a linear stroke which can put more pressure on your lower back but probably not enough to make a difference assuming you have your pedals adjusted properly.

And even without the reel trade in they are still on sale for $20 off i believe which i know someone else posted on here that htey were able to call in and get the sale price too. I picked one up for throwing cranks myself in that nice 4.7:1 ratio for a lefty retrieve....lowest i could find in current models.

Well given the reel trade in going on and thte PQ being on sale i would go that route myself but i have never thrown the Speed Spool.

Unfortunately game managers win superbowls too......Take flacco, eli manning, dilfer etc....And conditinal picks are always great because it is based on performance. If a player performs then you give up a higher pick so who cares. Reid also has a way of gettign the best out of a QB which is apparent with exactly what was mentioned....he gets higher value because he knows players strengths and designs around them and must be a pretty good salesman too.

Look at the native Mariner too for a pedal driven boat.....great reviews and probably the one i would get if i went the pedal drive direction.
