new Pro model 1/8th oz Shak-E2
Looks like a hangup waiting to happen. :-X

Anyone own a BPS tackle bag?
The Pro Qualifier bags aren't worth the money. Poor stitching on the seams, junk zippers, etc. Take a look at the Cabela's Advanced Angler series of bags.

Trailer hitch
3000 lbs on a bumper hitch? :-?

Best rain gear
Frog Toggs = crap Check out the BPS HPR rainwear. You get what you pay for. If you're just interested in staying dry, buy a cheap Helly Hansen suit or just use a poncho.

ATTENTION: SWVA
We usually let our kids battle you pansies. No use wasting ammo on yankees.

Reel Maintenance
That isn't really possible as WD40 isn't really a solvent.

What's the best source for learning about tackle?
Be smoooooooooooth, no jerky, Paul Bunyan type casts. You're fishing, not chopping wood or warding off jumping snakes. And if you ain't backlashin', you ain't fishin'.

Reel Grips
I hated them. They held water and kept my fingers wet.

What BR member would you choose to fish with...
Don't lie. You ever get those pee stains off the back deck?

Great write-up Dow!

Which Popper has the best " Bloop" sound ?
That can also be influenced by rod angle.

Rampage vs. Rashad (spoiler inside)
Rampage has some power, but I think Evans has the edge in quickness. The shot he laid on Liddell was amazing. Wish you guys were closer so we could get together for the fight. Splitting a PPV 3-4 ways is a lot less painful.

BPS Cranking Stick
Decent rods at less than full price. I wouldn't pay full price for any BPS rod.

Garrr, there be pirates on Falcon!
If I was on Falcon, my rod lockers would be well-armed.

What have you purchased recently????? 2010
Those things will take a licking and keep on ticking. I've had my D2 for 8 or 9 years, still going strong. Likes the battery though. I had my last one for a few years. Left it in Missouri somewhere. I hear you on the battery consumption. Bought a box full of those. For a long time I was paying $$ for camera batteries at Walmart. Local Lowe's started carrying Surefire batts, so it's a little cheaper to run now. Love the brightness. And durability. Working at night, I need reliable light. Used to go through a Mini-Maglite every year. Surefire has been going strong for a long time and has more than paid for itself.

1/8oz Spot Remover, any reviews?
Compared to what you're currently using, the Spot Remover is certainly a step in the right direction.
-
Think my line is still good?
Remove it and see if any neighborhood kids need a slinky. YZH on a reel for a year? Wow, that's gonna need some hair relaxer.

Developing a "pattern"
Catch a few fish on one particular type of cover or structure. If I can replicate it on the same type of cover or structure in another spot, there's a pattern.

Kitty update
We'll be keeping at least two of them. Having a hard time deciding which one will be the second lucky kitty. Would like to keep all of them, but six cats in our house would be too many. Four will be too many, but I love a challenge.

Extra spool?
Try contacting the unknown manufacturer.
