I would use the 30 lb for towing stranded boaters and the 6 lb for cutting cake. Or just use it for flippin and finesse.

I crrently use a 7'5 H Zodias to drag Carolina rigs around in deep water. I suck at doing so, but the rod works well for it. Once Froggin season gets here I will tie one on and use it for that.

Ummm, yep

I own a Triton and it didn't anger me. I like my boat a lot. If it said Tuffy on the side I might be embarrassed though. LOL

I haven't played it, but sounds like something my girls would love. Might also be something they wouldn't try to cheat at. LOL

I don't know if it is the ****, but I use Sufix 832 and I really like it. I really want to try Smackdown but I only buy in bulk and so far I haven't found it in bulk.

I'm gonna need you guys to stop all the Antares talk.

I haven't thrown one in a cool minute. I used to do really good taking a pearl color and dipping the tail in some chart spike-it. Might have to give that a shot again this year.

For me, I like white moving baits (lipless, spinnerbait, chatterbait, etc) in relatively clear water and sun. The dirtier the water and the darker the sky gets, the darker I go with my baits. I only throw white soft plastics when I am bed fishing, and that is only so I can see it. LOL

Really depends on time of year, time of day, weather, etc. If we were just going to say an average day. 2-3 an hour, but I would rather catch one big one (5+) as opposed to 7 or 8 little ones. Give me a couple 5's or better in a day and I am happy.

I think it is the top one.

I wouldn't want to eat cereal with a fork and I wouldn't want to eat steak with a spoon. I would opt for a spork as a universal eating utensil. I would say you are pretty well as close to universal as you can be with that set-up.

One of the **** ideas yet.

Yep, weather is unpredictable in March at Fork. I have been 2 times in March. One time it was perfect weather, too perfect actually. Fish were lock jawed and deep still. That was with a guide, so we took his word for it that they were still deep (we wanted to fish shallow). Second time we fished about 2 hours on the day we got there and caught a few decent fish. Woke up the next morning to 20-30 mph N winds and snow. It snowed for 2 days straight. We watched the NCAA tourney our entire stay instead of fishing.

Much like @Fishin Dad I really like the Project Z!

Could be a lot of factors at play. Like mentioned above though, I would just say they have re-located. Was there a grass kill off or did they introduce grass carp that would cause them to find new areas to live?

You will love it!!!!! I don't have the Trick step but a different brand and it is worth a million dollars to me.

Wind....I hate to fish in the wind, golf in the wind, grill in the wind, hunt in the wind etc, etc, etc. And I'm talking 20-30 mph. Seems as though there is always a breeze in Oklahoma but when it is really windy I just don't want to be outside.

Nope. I have owned a few (Curado, Scorpion, Antares) but I don't really see the benefit from using them. I can dial a regular reel in just as well and IMO get one to perform better.

Curado 70 HG - 12lb Invisx - Jerkbaits Tranx 200 XG - 20lb Shooter - Jigs in Heavy Cover Curado 200K - 15lb Tatsu - Lipless Metanium 13 - 12lb Sufix Elite - Spinnerbaits Bantam MGL XG - 40lb Sufix 832 - Topwater Curado 70 MGL XG - 15lb Tatsu - 3/16 Texas Rig Casitas 150 - 12lb Sufix Elite - Squarebills Bantam MGL - 40lb Sufix 832 - Chatterbaits Met 20 XG - 40lb Sufix 832 - 1/4 Texas Rig Curado 200 K XG - 40lb Sufix 832 - 5/16 Texas Rig SLX MGL 70 XG - 14lb Sniper - 3/16 Ned Rig Bantam MGL XG - 40lb Sufix 832 - 3/8 Texas Rig Bantam MGL XG - 50lb Sufix 832 - Frogs Scorpion MGL XG - 40lb Sufix 832 - Swinging Jig Head Bantam MGL HG - 40lb Sufix 832 - Carolina Rig/Jig Met 20 - 15lb Tatsu - 1/2 Texas Rig Those may vary from trip to trip depending on what my plan is, but that is what is ready to go most of the time.

I am a Shimano fanboy and have owned a number of them over the years. I currently have the following: 5 Bantam MGL's, Curado 70, Tranx 200, 2 Metanium 2020's, Metanium 13, Scorpion MGL, Curado 70 MGL, SLX 70 MGL, Casitas. Here is my opinion on how I would rate them 1-5 just based off what I have used. 1. Metanium 2020 - The smoothest, best feeling reel IMO 2. Bantam MGL - The most solid feeling, best value 3. Curado 70 MGL - Awesome reel for soft plastics 4. Scorpion MGL - Slightly better than the K 5. Curado K

I'm just glad I have never needed my head examined.
