Rubber vs Silcone skirts
Do a test... silicone vs rubber. Put both in water and see which one flairs more. You'll find that the rubber does. A lot of the jig guys out in southern California won't use anything but round rubber. I have used both but find myself turning to rubber jigs exclusively. T

FENWICK TECHNA AVC70MF 7' MEDIUM ROD
I have the Techna 7' MF and the Techna 7'MHF.I also own 6 St Croix Avids. I like them both but give the edge in sensitivity to the Fenwick. The rod weighs a little more than 4 oz (pretty light for a 7" stick)I use mine for TR worm fishing paired with a Curado 100D and use the MHF Techna paired with a Revo STX for CR , jigs and pitching. If I were you I would jump all over this and get 2 while their still on sale. There is not a better rod deal to be found for $100. T

Texas Longhorns 13-0
I dont think so. I think Alabama rolls easily. Texas should've beat Nebraska easily If the Horns play like that against Bama (who can score, unlike Nebraska)....Texas is toast early. Sounds like the same talk preceding the Rose Bowl game with unbeatable USC...hmmm . Don't count UT out so readily , if Bama happens to win they are gonna know they were in a scrap. Either way I figure it will be a good game definitely not a blow out either way. T

Black Shirts of Nebraska

Texas Longhorns 13-0
Yup, Texas pulled it off barely..had me sweating big time especially with 1 second to play. The national championship game will be very interesting Go Horns !! T

Whopper Stopper Dirtybird
I had one at one time ..don't know where it went. It is a fixed blade which gives the lure a side to side wobble , the blade/lip is upturned and helps the lure to slide over pads, grass,stick ups etc...I have used this lure quite successfully in heavy cover situations and caught a lot of fish with it.This lure is definitely worth trying if you fish a lot of real heavy cover..IMO it is one of the best heavy cover baits that can't be matched by many.

Fenwick Techna AV AVC70MF
I have this rod and I also have several Avid's ..while I like my Avid's the Techna AV is more sensitive and lighter IMO. The Avid and Techna are almost identical as far as the tip action .. I use mine for TR worm fishing with 1/4 oz weight.It should do fine with everything you're going to throw. T
