Big C

At least we beat Kentucky...

Not a huge surprise that I'm an IU fan. I have them winning it all for like the tenth year in a row. If they can by Kensucky they have a legit shot at it.

Hayabusa little shaker wacky hooks. Not weedless, doesn't skip great, but I love Hayabusa wacky hooks.

Hudd Bug.

Peanut Butter Lunker City Spanky

It's how Darth Vader smokes.

Matt Allen was rated #1 on the "Kramer's Top 40 California Bass Fishermen's List' of 2015. That's ahead of Brent Ehrler, Skeet Reese, Ish Monroe, and Cody Meyer. Tim little was rated #11, and broke the world record for spotted bass at 10 lb.6 oz. These guys know what they're doing.

I'm always surprised Tacticallbassin' doesn't have more subscribers.

Never fish hungry! If I could I would take a Golden Corral on my boat.

When the water is rising, I like to skip a Spanky into the flooded bushes.

That would be way too much fun.

Really they're not bad rods, they are super light and sensitive. I'm not so sure they have WAY more rod breakage than other companies, but when it happens to someone, and get no response they go on the ole' interwebz telling anyone who will listen the stink. Most other companies would just replace it. I have been using them for years with minimal problems (normal wear and tear). I think their biggest problem is customer service. If they instituted a "no questions asked" replacement policy that was faster and easier than the old system. They would start gaining a little more respectability.

So far I like it, but I've only used it here and there for a couple months. The true test will be when it's 100 degrees, 100% humidity, in the middle of a lily pad field chunkin' a frog.

Those look awesome, I'm stoked about using Japanese topwaters this year. The Tiemco Magnum cicada and Megabass Gatta X are calling my name! Where did you order those if I may ask?

1.The "Gravy Boat" 2.Daiwa Fuego XS. I have used it for a couple months now, and still can't believe how fast an 8.1:1 reel is. 3.Daiwa J Braid. I'm interested to see how it compares to Power Pro while frogging.

Your emoticon of choice is pretty weird.

I know you probably don't want to bash a company, but can this rod company be found near a plate of buffalo wings and celery stix?

My personal favorite is the R2S Poison Spitin' Wa, with a Lake Fork Frog trailer hook. But, just starting out I have to suggest the BPS "Kermy Kit" it's a little over $25 for 6 frogs. I have literally caught more fish on the Black and Yellow BPS frog than any other lure I own. They are surprisingly awesome.

They should just pound their advertising with "Customer Satisfaction" expressing how since the company has changed the PR has too. Another thing they really need is a bigger name pro fisherman backing their product, the only one I've seen is Charlie Moore. It looks like they recently launched a new website, they have a new warranty claim form where you just send them a picture of the broken rod and S&H for a replacement. It seems like they are making progress, but it's going to be a long road.

It's worse than I thought it would be....the elusive yet deadly Carpalope.

You probably hit your "Like" quota for the day.

Matt Allen on the Delta or Clearlake. Larry Dahlberg fishing for Musky Charlie Moore (strictly for entertainment)

Awesome picture! Don't give up on the frog. I'd have to say mix it up with frogs between buzz/hollow body.

I got the Panthers by 2 touchdowns.

Looks like ribs, brisket, slaw, cast iron corn bread, buffalo chicken dip, some random desserts, and gallons of sweet tea.
