I've got the next few days off from work. I'm looking through the polaroids as we speak.

1. Little George in hammered 2. Rebel Pop-R (only counting fish over 8lb) Last summer I caught both my personal bests, and almost broke both state records for TN smallmouth and largemouth. 10lb 9oz and 14lb 1oz respectively. They say nothing hits as hard as topwaters, these fish made a believer out of me.

It takes time for the Quantum. Do you have any pics of the Lew's? I own both and the Lew's is by far the most user friendly. The Quantum is a great reel for the price, but like their Octane, it takes a while to get it dialed in. The rods are the better part of the combo. But take the time and effort to get it right and it'll work fine for a beginner.

Some one has lost fishing money. Looks like you gained a potential coangler though...

I was not impressed by them at all, my old man either. For the price, I'd just buy something else. I went to BPS today for a Carbonlite and I left with an Abu Veritas. At $99.99, best rod I picked up. Could have gotten a standard guide Carbonlite for $89.99, but I'm strictly a micro guide man. Such a smoother cast and much better sensitivity.

I'm not certain considering I'm not the most technically minded person. If a trickle charger works on the same premise as a 3 bank, then yes. Then all you have to do is open your storage and plug in the charger.

Just got back from BPS. Veritas 2.0 in 7'MH, 330yds of both CX and Super Natural, a couple of lures, mostly jointed shad raps. I'm puting on line tomorrow. And to KGB, if you are gonna use for topwaters, I'm usually found with Trilene. Not the best in the world, but I've never had an issue with it. And as often as I retie, being cheap helps. People calling me wrong and telling you to go with braid and a leader in 3.....2......1......

Well, we ran out of juice in the cranking battery last weekend....very interesting few hours. At that time, our electronics were run off that battery, we've since added it's own dedicated battery. We have ours wired in with the trolling motor batteries with a permanent wire running to the negative, and an alligator clip for the positive. Same from the trolling batteries to the cranking. When we get home and plug in the 3 bank, we clip the alligator clips and it charges out electronics battery. Kinda a frustrating way to wire everything together, but it works extremely well. Hope this is easily understood. I'll draw out a diagram if needed.

I've just always used the old timer's trick or releasing so much line without anything attached and slowly reeling it back in. And before people kill me with comments, I only do it early in the morning or late at night when there's no one on the lake.

You should be able to find them on the website or at least on the image of the line. I know .27mm Sunline & P Line CXX comes to roughly .010. That's just shy of the 12lb mono that I use which is .013

Plum, I see your passing almost identical to the way Meredith Burgess did in Grumpier Old Men. Minus the beer, bacon, and cigarettes. And the mounting of half the women in Wabasha.

Ah, the mighty jaws of the kleat...Many a good rod has been lost to the devils.

I've got a short list for BPS (over 50 items) and just want to make sure I'm getting everything I need. New rods, stuff to get me started into drop shotting on a baitcaster, fishing line, little selection of plastics...anything I should pick up for s&g that would work in East TN(dirty, roughly 18' visability) and West NC(water was clear to 25' on last trip) lakes? This is my yearly trip so don't be afraid to meantion lures for every season.

I never change. Got a whole tackle box dedicated to my Terminator T1s and the only thing that changes is color or weight (1/4 or 3/8) Found the bass on my water absolutely love the Oklahoma blade they came with. Can't wait to see how they perform when spawn arrives.

I've probably got enough plastic to last a lifetime, but anoter bag can't hurt, can it?

I called the local to be sure. It was new, in stock product. Late arrival for the sale?

I must have gotten a bad spool of it. Straight out of the box it was horrible. It was nicked and the memory never could be worse.

I'm cheap. I took some spent 12G 3" shells waiting to be reloaded and put them on a small piece of wood(spacer from ceiling) and attached them with screws. I have maybe all of 30c in it. Got the idea out of a fishing magazine. Have them hanging right above the boat. Just have to switch them out when spring gets here.

I got a BB1HZL at the last fishing show. I'd marry it if I could. Bought 3 more since and have yet to get rods for them.

Oh my....I may be an easy sell.

If I see one more person say big game and it doesn't say as backer line, I'm gonna go punch it out on the heavy bag.

BPS sells something like this. Attaches with velcro just in front of the reel and keeps it from sinking. Good idea, bad design.

Local Coop has commercial pumps and we picked up a card for it. Priced 20c cheaper than any other station carrying it.

BPS has all their Yum products at 2.99. Considering picking up a few things while I'm up there tomorrow. Goodbye paycheck.

That brings up a question...why change so often?
