I have read the entire series 3 times. Except the final, yet to be released book.

But ive already seen the movie like 5 times. Kinda ruins the suprise :-*

DISCLAIMER: Jay is a giant nerd. "Wheel of Time" series by Robert Jordan. Best fantasy epic EVER. Other books at some stage of reading/re-reading: The Pillars of the Earth- Ken Follett Byrne's Complete Book of Pool Shots- Robert Byrne In Pursuit of Giant Bass- Bill Murphy Moby Dick-Herman Melville Gonna read A Farewell to Arms by Hemmingway again soon. Havent read it in about 5 years. Great book.

Not gonna make it. Too dang far, too dang broke, and the fish are too dang small . Hopefully it will make its way west one of these days. Those are some amazing fish!

GORILLAS!!!! Im still drinking. Setting the pace ;D

LMAO. this is the most pompous smilie there is. it should be named "******" instead of "wink"

AHAHAHA!!!! ;D

I didnt want to compete with you, just RW and his "HIGH" recomendations, lol ;D

I am suprised to hear that your claw was the first of that general design. That being the case, I apologize for that. I had been fishing the paca chunk for at least a year before i ever saw the rage tail so I just assumed it was the first. As I said, I do own them, they are different, and nice baits. Im just turned off by the lack of a black one, price, and more than anything else, some of the "fan-boyism" that seems to go along with them. And as per your request, the first Miller Lite of the evening has just been cracked

: 8-) :-? Sorry just wanted to get all of the pompous smilies out of the way with one post. Since when do you care about tournaments. Youre the number one tourney basher on this site. I've got a 13-1 on a power worm, what you got on the anaconda?

Obviously it looks different, i dont feel the action is significantly different. The price is also very different, 3.50 for power worms, 5.39 for the anaconda. They dont come in black, come on, its a big worm, how can you have a big worm that is not black? Im just tired of all the hype, its not rage, its hype. Yes, they are nice baits, but not worth the price and have yet to prove themselves worthy of the hype. I love big worms. They have caught me my two biggest fish. But the way that I fish them, I lose a ton of them. Sometimes 15 or 20 a night. That would be $21.56 in anacondas. Add in an owner oversize worm hook and a tru tungsten bullet weight, and it could be $60 worth of tackle very easily, trip after trip.I have also developed a ton of confidence in black worms. I mean the basic rage tail (not neccesarily the anaconda's entire tail) is nothing but a bastardized net bait claw. The netbait is 3.50 for a 9 pack. The rage craw is 5.00 for a 7 pack Main points being, imo, a nice bait, not that special. Too expensive. Doesnt come in black. Too much hype. When everyone on here was chopping up that bait when it was first available, I was very interested. After fishing it, its just another big worm, but it is expensive.

Burley has fished them. I have fished them as well. That will be the only pack I purchase.

Was it a picture of Bob Dole's fish then?

you might try "pliers"

I am breathless with anticipation ;D

This is from the second time I went to Alaska. This is the trip that I fished the Kenai. Fished for 4 days without boating a fish. On the very last day, I had decided not to stress over getting a fish, just have fun. Pull into the first hole, drop the kwikfish back, click the spool into gear, turn my head to say something to my mom when the rod gets hammered. About a 15-20 minute fight that took us about a mile down river. Ill never forget the way I felt when I had that fish sitting at my feet.

All G-Blanks are assembled in the US. So are they made or assembled in America. There is a difference, assembled means the components were made somewhere else and shipped here and put together. Also it doesn't take much to be able to advertised made in ....... , the components for the rods can come from all over the globe final assembly in the USA can be as easy as graphics, and installing a butt cap and you can advertised made in USA. Benelli, Beretta and other gun manufacturers have it down to an art. The wood comes from Turkey or Africa, the action parts from Turkey, the barrel Italy, all are assembled in Italy, but your Benelli or Beretta are all stamped made in Italy. They make car manufacturers put this information on the window sticker but other manufacturers don't have to reveal such information. So in short it is really impossible to know where your rod was actually manufactured only assembled. Companies that admit some of the rods are made in China but others in America, you can bet all the blanks come from the same place, just assembled somewhere else. Think about it, the cork is from another country, the guides another, the seat , etc. Unless the product you purchase has a bonafide factory that is producing the blanks and rods that you can see and verify, chances are the blanks are from overseas and the rods assembled here. A custom rod maker may be able to tell you where the actual blanks come from. I know you can order the blanks and by law the blank should be marked as to where it was manufactured. I wouldn't be suprised that the companies making rod blanks also make golf club shafts, just makes sense economically for the companies. Yeah burley. Now you know what the difference is. How can you be such an invalid?

Thats what I'm saying....why werent Long and Kerr the first ones in line at the park each day? Or at least on the lake somewhere. Not bashing, just wondering why they wouldn't make the same effort as Jed & Co. Because they have real jobs and a functional family life ;D

I love that top one.

Loose lips sink ships

Its all about the FrogTogs, Smart Shield sunblock, and the Color C Lector. Oh wait, thats Roland Martin's fishing infomercial, this is Bassresource's.

I'll take one!

I think retail is 120, but you can find them on ebay new for 80-90 pretty regularly.

You can get a hand held scale certified. They should have had one.
