I'm gonna try and take my kids to the weigh in every day and to walk around the bass fest festivities

Anyone coming to the elite series in Dayton this next week?

I live in Dayton TN, I need to get off the bank and find me one of these pigs

Nice! What city did you run out of?

I'm a little biased to Coppertone myself, of course I make it for a living. I put it on my kids and no I don't get it for free. If the oxybenzone worries you we make lotions without it. I personally prefer the Sport Continuous Spray spf 50, it goes on fast and is easy to reapply without getting it on your hands

Congrats

I use a H2O express backpack that my wife got me for Christmas. it comes with four boxes, zip off cooler (xtra storage if desired) and several other pockets. Also has dedicated places for tools such as pliers. And a pouch on waist belt for sunglasses. I think it runs around $50-$60

My lowes is crazy high on orings... Where else do y'all find them for a decent price

Do a YouTube search for Thundermist Lures they have several vids on cleaning fish and general fun fishing stuff to watch IMHO. I really really want to try a few of their lures as well. Good luck and happy fishing. Josh

I almost stopped in to see the weigh in, guess I better next time lol...congrats on some great fish!

Yeah i figured at 50% off i had better grab it... And the Mrs. approved lol

Im pretty excited, I just picked up a 6'10 Med Villain spinning rod at Sportsman's Warehouse for $89! Looking forward to taking it out on the water.

Y'all run out of Dayton? Big tourney there this last weekend... I live just about 5 miles down the road from the boat ramp

Saw Tiger Braided line on clearance at Dunhams Sports, anyone tried it?

These are the ones! They felt awesome, I wonder if the guides would be too small for a Albright knot for a leader.

I went to Academy last night for a soft plastics binder and ended up in the rod section. I took a look at the Ethos rods and found a few of the Ethos Nano rods and wow are they light. Thinking about grabbing the Med/Fast spinning model. Has anyone used the Nano line?

Is the rod riot happening now?

He told me today he will also throw a deep diving crank let it hit off the bottom and float up a bit for a reaction strike... Trigs are out too many snags

My boss fishes there a lot and he said he mainly fishes jigs or tubes

I had a Veritas that snapped on its second trip out, but the way I was treated by customer service and the speed at which I received a replacement rod made me give them a second chance! They were great to deal with, and I haven't been disappointed with the second rod. My next rod won't be a Abu only because I am wanting a spinning rod that isn't quite as stiff as they seem to be.

She shops, therefore I fish.

I have a metal sign i picked up at a car show that reads: Show off your rod, fish naked. My wife won't let it come near the house its permanant residence is the garage...

Hey RW, would you mind expounding on what all techniques the spinning rod would be capable of?

I bought some of the cps springs to try out but they don't work well with the EWG hooks i have. Would something like a owner deep throat hook work for soft plastics? Or what else would you suggest? Thanks Boomer
