Zoom tubes are soft.

Call Bobby @ Megastrike. He will fix you up.

Yes. Helps filter out barking dogs.

I've never had a breaking problem with Triple Fish. I've used a bunch of it too. It does have some memory. That is to be expected with flourocarbon in my opinion.

Order up a couple more new Daiwas from TW. You don't even need to leave home.

Try the Bitsy Flip instead of the Bitsy Bite. It has a short flipping hook opposed to a light wire finesse hook.

Great pictures. Looks like you had a blast that day. I may need to start doing some carping. I know our lake is full of them.

They work great.

I got an Associates degree, then a Bachelors. The work load for the Associates was just as difficult as the Bachelors. Don't sell your accomplishment short. Congratulations.

Phelps has basically had the same coach all of his life. Bob Bowman found him at North Baltimore and moved on with him to the University of Michigan and Club Wolverine. They are both back at North Baltimore now. Bowman is know as a very strict coach.

It was no big deal for a former American President. I can't see how this will grossly effect an American Swimmer. I'm sure Phelps didn't inhale either.

Just stick a split shot 12" up the line.

Just a plain chrome / blue back Norman out fishes everything else I own. My favorite one is all beat up and it still out fishes the rest. I mostly fish water with less than 2' of clarity so pretty finishes are not important to me. I have no problem spending money on baits either. I believe a good action is more important than a nice paint job. Just my opinion and probably not a very good one.

People like to blame Big Oil for everything, but Wall Street especially the big Investment Banks caused this. Subprime pigs. They have no souls.

Have faith Muddster, the Johnies will return. They just need to hurry up and do it.

Hate-fest on ESPN tonight. Orange vs. Hoyas. Can't wait for tip-off

Good strong line with small diameter. Gray color is hard to line watch. Hit it with some KVD line conditioner, it really helps with the memory.

I fish both. Raul pretty much hit the nail on the head with his post. The TD-A is hard to beat at that price.

I'm looking at my map in the James Gaines area. First thing I see is that I need my glasses, getting old stinks. Looks like a flat that a creek and the main river swings up close to the flat. It appears to drop pretty quick from 12' on the flat down to 50+ in the main channel. I've never fished big water like this but here is how I would start in this area. I would get just out in front of the flat (on the break) and work a crank and c-rig parallel to the flat where the channels swing up near the flat. I would progressively fish a deeper contour until I would hopefully find a depth were the fish are holding along the break. If that did not work I would go up on the flat and poke around with a jig and a trap.

Syracuse. We are loaded for the foreseeable future. Don't you miss the pre PC days when we were the Orangemen and the Johnies were the Redmen? I really miss Lou and his funky sweaters. Chris Mullen, Walter Barry, Bill Wennington and Mark Jackson. You had some great players.

I have the previous version of the HSTA and it is a great reel. Never fished a Quantum so I can't comment on it.

I've got a spinning rod, HX4. Nice rod. Real sensitive. A local guy here makes them, I believe he is a fireman.

The Boss is has clearly seen better days, but mentioning him and Carrie Underwood in the same sentence is a joke. No disrespect to Underwood, but she ain't in the same league.
