  1. Bass Pro carries them.
  2. Japanese scientists create microscopic noodle bowl By MARI YAMAGUCHI, Associated Press Writer Thu May 29, 3:22 PM ET Japanese scientists say they have used cutting-edge technology to create a noodle bowl so small it can be seen only through a microscope. Mechanical engineering professor Masayuki Nakao said Thursday he and his students at the University of Tokyo used a carbon-based material to produce a noodle bowl with a diameter 1/25,000 of an inch in a project aimed at developing nanotube-processing technology. The Japanese-style ramen bowl was carved out of microscopic nanotubes, Nakao said. Nanotubes are tube-shaped pieces of carbon, measuring about one-ten-thousandth of the thickness of a human hair. Carbon nanotubes are being explored for a wide range of uses in electronics and medicine because their structure endows them with powerful physical properties such as a strength greater than steel. The ramen bowl experiment included a string of "noodles" that measured one-12,500th of an inch in length, with a thickness of one-1.25 millionth of an inch. "We believe it's the world's smallest ramen bowl, with the smallest portion of noodles inside, though they are not edible," Nakao said. The hardest part was to keep the noodles from rising upright from the bowl "like alfalfa sprouts," he said. "The achievement was mostly for fun." The microscopic bowl was first created in December 2006, but revealed only Thursday after it was entered for a microphotography competition last week. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080529/ap_on_sc/odd_japan_smallest_ramen_bowl;_ylt=AvjXA1H2NOLXpp_HLG6n0noPLBIF
  3. I thought that URL was verboten here.
  4. STX since you would be hard pressed to find a new Curado.
  5. If this stuff was a bit cheaper and flourescent, I don't think I'd use another line. It's tough as nails, VERY abrasion resistant and quite strong.
  6. I can tell y'all one thing. It ain't no gimmick. The Cumara can suck it...hard!
  7. I'm not 5BL, but that is the rod to which he is referring.
  8. Buy one, you won't regret it. Give The Bass Shoppe in Abingdon a call. They might have some in stock for you to handle.
  9. You got the wrong guy.
  10. Could be worse, I could live in SE VA. :
  11. I hate Colorado. HTF did they make the series? >
  12. I like to picture Burley in a tuxedo T-Shirt because it says I want to be formal, but I'm here to party.
  13. Shimano Crucial CRS70ML 7' medium light fast action, 1/16 - 5/16 oz. rated.
  14. A Calcutta 50 will cure what ails ya. And stop athlete's foot in it's tracks.
  15. Spaghet with capers and garlic.
  16. Splitshot rigged finesse worm or a t-rigged baby brushhog with a light weight. Take that FWIW, I've only fished down there at night in August.
  17. The longer the bill, the deeper the dive. The fatter the head, the wider the wobble.
  18. Cherryseed or junebug Zoom plastics. I've had the most luck on the south bank downlake from Swann's. Also along the bank in Dandridge, from the bridge up lake.
  19. Took 2 months to get that one.
  20. What swimbaits? http://www.***.com http://www.316lurecompany.com http://www.huddlestonstore.com http://www.msslammer.com
  21. What law would be broken? There is no copyright on lure color.
