I want some of whatever you're smoking.

It is decent line for the money. And cheap enough to justify changing it after every trip. Abrasion resistance isn't a strong suit. I did pull an old Christmas tree to the surface last summer with 17 lb. Not as tough as Trilene XT or PLine CXX, but still a decent line.

Hmmmm, Japan vs. Korea. The choice is obvious.... :-X

I feel it is really unfair to a lure or company to claim they are junk without backing up your claim with proof. Please back up what you are saying with details. Would you please point out why you think the the Boogie bait is junk? IMO the Rad bait is of poor quality because.....the blades are thin and bend easily, the bait flips over when you try to burn it, the hooks will straighten when using braided line. The finish is mono color and cheaply applied, comes off with any contact with rocks, docks, or even a fish's mouth. The skirts and some of the designs of the Rad chatterbaits do not stay put, and there is no barbs to keep trailers attached. Now look at the Booyah Boogie baits.....the blades are of heavier metal and are interchangable, the bait runs perfect at any speed, the hooks are not only bigger and stronger but are welded to heavy wire braid and flex so a bass cannot throw the bait as easily, The paint job is detailed and tough with big glued on red eyes for extra attraction. The skirts come in more and better colors and are easily changed, plus there is a good barb on the head to hold trailers without needing glue. This is my opinion based on actually using these baits and seeing the difference. Have been fishing well over 40 years and in tournament competion for half of that. So I have some idea what to look for in a quality bait. Just for the record I am NOT sponcered by Booyah baits. Wait till that stupid little clip on the head causes you to lose a fish or two, then you'll really love it. Or when the lame leverage cable breaks for no reason. http://hunter316.proboards45.com/index.cgi?board=Fishing&action=display&thread=635

Too bad none of the furniture stores will let you test them the way they really need to be tested...

The Cumara isn't fit for carolina rigging.

Keith, I don't know if you'll find a better rod for the $$ than the Okuma 7'11 H. It throws an 8" Hudd three miles (or one country mile). The Okuma shines because of the handle configuration. That little pistol butt is a dream (and a feature I wish more manufacturers would copy). Now if only I could catch a d**n fish on the thing... :-[

Hard to win a tournament for which you did not qualify.

That is the inherent problem with digital. A blessing and a curse if you will. The signal is either on or off, there is no in-between. You've either got it or you don't. Makes for a great picture if you can get a solid signal. Otherwise you're SOL.

I'm sure it gets hotter than 90* in a rod locker.

Putting an aftermarket hanger on that beautiful rod would be like giving Dolly Parton breast-reduction surgery.

Well friend, it can only go up.

Yes there is. Look at the bottom of the first piece of foam on the handle.

It's simple really. That BPS reel is $30 better than the other reels. BPS injects them with mojo.

What is wrong with the hook keeper on the rod?

Yep, I have been blessed. That is quite the outlook on life given the year you've just had.

Thanks for the heads up, I just ordered two. Should make nice carp poles.

Do they hang up on every piece of wood on you too? Wood, grass, rock, stray molecules of hydrogen and oxygen.... :-X
