That photo harkens back to a simpler time when I didn't have 90 lbs. of baits and 15 rod & reel combos.

The Miz is a no-talent hack.

I would suggest a quality spare tire and two quality spare hub assemblies as well as the necessary tools.

No, why are you running everything on one battery?

Why?

IMO no such animal exists. No one spinnerbait exhibits all the qualities that would give reason to call it the best. Some do things better than others, but I've yet to see one bait that combines all of the best qualities.

+1 (for the 9th time this month ) Hmm... What happen to P-Line CX Premium? I thought that was all you were using. I picked up some #15 to experiment with after being ripped-off with some #6...Anyhow, so far, so good. It's the most manageable (non-braid) line I have ever fished. Not pure fluoro, but maybe a better choice. 8-) CX isn't flouro. And I only fish CX on spinning tackle. I fish three lines on a regular basis. Trilene 100% Flourocarbon, PLine CX and PLine CXX.

You guys are good. With my help, you could be the best.

Fishin' schmishin...

Lots of ice and don't worry about it. If if smells fishy, it's bad and shouldn't be eaten.

Why go to all that trouble when you can just come here and post?

If you own a jig long enough for the collar to dry-rot, you aren't fishing your jigs in the right spots.

Price point makes a huge difference. Most people will wear safety glasses when working with items that might damage their eyes. So why do they think they can skimp on an item that will shield their eyes from UV radiation? Over the last two years, I've been in constant eyewear shopping mode. I purchased a pair of RayBans when I started bass fishing after spending years using the cheapest polarized glasses I could find at WalMart. The difference between the moderately priced RB's and the cheapo glasses was amazing. My eyes weren't strained after a day on the water due to the inferior lenses. Over the last month, I shopped Maui Jim, Costa Del Mar, Wiley X, Solar Bat and Native glasses. I wanted to take the next step. In the end, Costa Del Mar won out. The optical quality of both Maui Jim and CDM blew the others away. So, to really answer your question, shop various quality brands and see what you like. IMO, sunglasses are one item on which you should not skimp. You only have one set of eyes. There are two items on which I refuse to cut corners. Eyewear and PFD's.

You get what you pay for and tungsten is no exception. Tru-Tungsten weights aren't painted, they're Duraseal coated. I've fished these weights exclusively for the last two years and have yet to see one chip. The other advantage to TT is the lack of an insert. Before I started using TT, I used BPS XPS and xCalibur. Both brands feature inserts and each brand's insert started sliding out after a day or so of fishing. I lost about $20 worth of tungsten due to that faulty insert and the subsequent cutting of my line (braid, copoly and flouro). Yes, TT is pricey. But for my money there isn't a better weight on the market. And in the two plus years I've been fishing tungsten, I've only lost around $35 worth of the stuff.

Perhaps you should use it and find out.

It is the only non-Shimano reel that makes me happy in pant.

Trilene 100% Flouro pwns all.

It was low tide and I was right at the tide line. Gotta drive on the semi-wet sand. Best thing about Ocracoke Island. I love driving on the beach. Probably why my step bars rusted out after less than six years.

My wife kept driving them away. :'(

Kevin Gregg needs to be drawn and quartered. If Lou and Hendry don't move him soon, we're screwed.
