You might want to find an open mic night because you're a natural comedian.

There is an issue with the stadium, but the city/state/county I believe had promised to put up something like $450 million dollars to help build a new one. Like somebody else already mentioned if they don't start winning in 2 to 3 years the people will stop going. There's so much else going on in the area that the people will not go just for the sake of going.

It means that many teams in the SEC cheat. I'm not referring to on the field, but more in their recruiting of players. It's well documented, and trying to tell me otherwise is just blind ignorance on your part.

It's easy to win when you cheat.

Oh boy. I see an entire thread of cat meme's coming.

Bad decision. It failed once, and I believe it will fail again. It's sad that the owner couldn't work something out with St. Louis. Having lived through the Browns moving to Baltimore I feel for the city. What say you Bass Resource?

The year wasn't bad, but I really noticed that the fishing seemed to "off" in the NE Ohio area. I think it can be related to the two very severe winters we've had. I feel that the smallmouth fishing was a bit better for me than the largemouth, but not by much. There was never a great numbers day. Any tournament that I fished you really had to grind it out all day to get a limit, but more boats came back with empty livewells than I can remember over the past few seasons. On a grading scale of 1 through 10, I would have to give this season a 6. I would have given is a 4.5, but I was able to learn a lot of new things this year that helped me get the "skunk" out of the boat that the years before wouldn't have happened.

I bought a spool of this about 6 months ago, and after 1 trip - actually during the trip - I removed it. I had almost as much trouble with this line as I did with the Lake Fork Tackle Parralellum (sp?) line. It is VERY stretchy, and had perhaps the worst memory on a line I've ever used, and I use KVD L&L liberally. I had 8# on my PXL Type-R, and was using it for weightless trick worms. I have since settled on Sunline Shooter 7#, and have been extremely happy with the results. I know it costs almost twice the price, but IMHO it is worth not having the headaches and aggravation.

12# should work, but what braid are you using? Thickness of braid will vary from MFG to MFG.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. I didn't know if the space in the hull ran all the way back, or if it stopped at some point maybe under the seat. I wouldn't see myself using anything longer than a 7'4" frog rod, but mainly around the 6'6" to 7'0" range.

If you had that "wrapped around the tip feeling" and it really wasn't wrapped around the tip I would guess that it is more with the reel than the rod. I have several rods with micro guides - the smallest guides being the micro magic by Duckett - and have never had that type of feeling unless the line was actually wrapped around the tip.

I was hoping that somebody with this kayak could answer how long of a rod can be stored within the hull. I've seen pictures of people storing their rods during transport in the hull that is accessible through the front storage hatch. I am leaning towards purchasing one this year, but haven't been able to physically see one yet. I will be going to try this and a few of the other Jackson models out later in the year.

The only sideplate on the Tatula that is aluminum is the handle side. the side you take off to access the spool is composite.

And the year before that...

I would go with a 10# braid, and use the YoZuri as a leader.

This makes sense especially with the TW exclusive line, and they also have the reels they make for Cabelas. The Prodigy line I think it is.

I've used these on a dropshot, and have gone through the whole pack doing so. Unfortunately, the only thing that I can get to bite them are drum/sheephead.

Between these three rods I would have the following decision making process. Cork vs foam. For me - cork. That leave the Savvy and the E6X. Of these two I would then look at the types of rods available. Dobyns offers 15 (both regular and micro guides). E6X offers 18 (including casting, cranking, and flipping/punching. Warranty - I feel this is a wash as both offer great warranties. Of these, I feel that I would be able to "fine tune" my selection a little better with the E6X to get the best rod for what I was wanting to do with it. Since you stated that it will be general purpose rod I would narrow that down to the 853c JWR, 803c JWR, or maybe the 893c JWR. Just my $0.02

Cheap mono.

Yes, it's an older Scorpion that was bought together with the TD-Z in the middle with the orange thumb bar. It's a nifty little reel. I prefer magnetic brakes because you don't need to remove the side plate, and this has the 4x4 svs brakes with the dial on the outside.

Zoom.

Please don't take offense to this question, but do you have a loop of line on the spool? That can slap on the frame of the reel and make that kind of noise.

Maybe there's an issue with their database because a search for a Tatula shows the filter as "tattle", and search for Zillion shows a filter for "million".
