Happy Memorial Day Everybody. Thank you for the day off from work. Thank you for the bbqs and cookouts. Thank you for making my lake a popular spot. Thank you string bikinis and young ladies on boats. Thank you for answering Gods call to serve. Thank you for putting your self through Hell in boot camp. Thank you for sacificing your time, talents and other dreams to serve. Thank you for going into the scariest situations ready and willing to lay down your life. Thank you for this selfless life changing sacrifice that you won't be appreciated for by everyone. And while we are here enjoying this day meant for you, some of you haven't made it home yet, some of you will never make it home, and some of you are home but will not ever be the same. Service to our country comes at a cost, thank you all that served for ignoring that cost, and giving the United States of America your best. Teal

No clear favorite, as each rod has a different job. Powell Endurance 695cb Powell Endurance 804cb Daiwa Ballistic 7'7"M. Mod Daiwa Ballistic 7'2" MH mod All of these are good rods, but I like the longer ones for deeper cranks and I like more back bone in my go cranking rods and squarebill rods....

I wish I would have seen this thread earlier today. But I actually got some fishing in... APRW1, I agree with that statement In theory.... But I have that rod. In fact I have most of the rods made in the Endurance line up... Its my opinion that its not a true extra fast...and those particulqr rods do well with braid...braid is all I use except for cranking and jerks. To the OP, you will enjoy that rod and that reel. I have that exact same set up and use it for jigs mainly 3/8-3/4 Like Arb said, set your drag a notch or two lower than its supposed to be and i will be just fine

Good trade. Better than the 150 I suggested. I'm a low baller by nature...

Welcome

Nice whitwolf

Happy birthday John

I kinda pictured Raider and Slonezp sitting on a couch on the front porch of a single wide trailer with their own theme song.

Haha it would be like Wayne's World meets Swamp People. Im totally in favor of Raider getting his own show.

Offer him 150 for both. You never know.....he may be hard up

A sinus headache.

Griz may be on to something here

Small spinner baits small squarebills

Mmmmmmm man I wish waleye were more abundant here. I rarely catch them... They are amazing tasting fish. You had me at Bacon too

baby got back

Powell or Dobyns in the 764 765 range.

Lews Tournament Pro. 149.99

So the Bad News Bears won a game? That's incredible!

Both Costa and Oakley make great glasses. I have two pair of Costas and one set of Oaks that I play ball in.. Best advice...get a big frame that won't let light in. Get amber lenses. Amber is the probably the BEST for most water and bottom sediment colors. Go to a store and try them on....even of they dont have amber...just see which frames you like ans fit you face. I always go to store to try them on, then I find them cheaper online. Alot of dudes really like WileyX, Strike King S11,.and the Calcutta glasses. I would go for a premium brand if you can

#1 locate the sticky thread on jig fishing #2 keep a jig tied on at all times, throw it often and try different things

Every January

Welcome!

If its the full size brush hog, then rig them with a 4/0 or a 5/0 hook Texas style. I like 1/4 oz up to 1.5oz depending on current and cover. Good lures. Go back and buy the rest of them if you have the money and they have good colors.

Not only is it worth the extra 100, I feel like its competitive with the reels in the 250+ range. It can be found for 150 on a reg basis. I have 5 TPs and I love then. Simply awesome little reels.
