Great pics & story lines guys! Bye-Golly, I'm feeling better already! Great ideal!!

Mr. Mike, get ready! From DVT!! DVT, DVT.. He is on the boards here a good deal, he always try's to help guys with reel problems on the forum as much as one can... I like that! It's a great characteristic in a fellow...

Bunch of PETA morons came to brown county, ind. in the early 90's running around in a vastly overpopulated (deer ) state park, during a state sanctioned hunt... Running around with deer antlers attached to their heads, claiming, they hoped they would be shot.. Attempting to spook the woods, so deers would run away... Yup, ran those animals right to standing hunters, nothing like pushing deer, eh? No one was injured, several were arrested though, lol...

No, the bait monkey is a demon from hell, I have not been able to annihilate him or his brethren in 35 years, many have tried, none have succeeded.

Oh my, the secret is out...

That's a giant fish for sure... I believe he is just lifting the fish for the camera operator. I couldn't begin to guess the weight. Cool picture, for sure!

I'm not sure I'm seeing your angle here, are you maybe seeking a saltwater reel style of handle? As in a power handle w/ a counter balance?

Yup, that classic doesn't market a USA blank, I agree it's likely imported... Guides also seem pretty cheap... At the price, I would skip over it and go KLX, but that's just me...

Welcome to & enjoy the forums, Chad...

It really is about the "Lake" I dare say you will not cast a jig or even a trig plastic worm a great deal in many parts of Florida with heavy hydrilla mat's everywhere, flipping, short pitch work is more likely, as summer progresses so does the hydrilla. Sure, you can still cast into, along edges of lily pads, boat trails etc.. But I really believe it is all about the "Lake" & how you fish the conditions of it. If you can't move your boat thru or into hydrilla much, Or, dragging fish from a hundred feet away thru thick hydrilla, doesn't yield boated fish.. You can quickly see how flipping, pitching, and saturation fishing can be, and is king, in those conditions, IMO

University of Louisville is flying in to play Boston college in Men's basketball today.. It appears that Boston handles blizzards better than NYC..

I use #8 to #10 Yo hybrid, or CXX on cranks.. 12 to 20 on Flip rigs.. Same lines as above based on cover types.

hehe, Read more, post less... Yea, such sound philosophy, right?

Thanks for that, makes more sense now..

Panfish hooks, split-shot, smaller balsa floats, you have quite a bit to keep you busy learning for awhile, lol..maybe a few steel leaders, can you fit a minnow bucket in that thing?!!

I believe you may have misunderstood my angle, it is exactly the aforementioned items that will be remembered, blended with superbowl victory's etc.. As a long time Peyton Manning fan.. ( since 96 ) a Colts fan under Peyton, & having no love for New England.. I still believe they are a very good team as of now...

Yes, I agree, a rule break occurred somehow, apparently the spy gate and now de-flate gate, will also be attached to the New England Patriots legacy.. Then there's Hernandez..

Seems to me, The Patriots scored more points in that game with properly inflated footballs, the Colts, well it just didn't matter what ball they used, could have been a soccer ball or a hockey puck for that matter...

I read a bit on this, it still appears to be a 19th century fake.. Idk, it doesn't appear to record any laws or ideology, but appears more like a diary entry.. With directions.. What does it imply really? I'm always neutral on these type of finds, but still don't see proof it's legit, maybe it is.. Can you recommend a link that's credible?

I swear it's true... I stated this very same thing a couple of times on here. It's very, very suspicious to me. I simply will not buy a rod from BPS. I live 30 miles from one, got a couple buddy's working there.. It's strangely true

So, is your spool seizing up during your cast? Or, are you using Braid, that maybe dug into itself causing an abrupt stoppage?

Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands?St. Croix maybe? It would be nice to have a large enough vessel to head that way, maybe live on board, for a spell..

Welcome to the forums...

I see you're point, as the same with reel seats.. I was under the impression the OP was inquiring about rod blanks, plus assy. In USA... That was my impression.

Yup, and then we would really hear about boating crashes/ blackbeard boardings, hey that might spice up tournaments a bit..
