Createx is good, but I'm trying to find a better brand. Their colors seem a tad vannilla, for me. I'm looking for something that pops a little more, so if you find any good brands post about it.

What Color Bbz?
Chrome or black or morning dawn or brown or shad. O.K. I can't choose, but I don't think you can go wrong.

California "bassocide"
California has passed a law that states; if you catch any bass, blue gill, striped bass, ect. in the California Delta you have to kill it as an invasive species. So the question is; if this law was passed in your neck of the woods, what would you do? And please, don't turn this topic into a political argument. -Mgmt.

The Fate Of Bass Tournaments
We'll see how many true bass fishermen kill their fish, because some politicians told them to. It's times like this when I think of animal rights being compromised. People love to give fishermen a hard time for rippin' some lips, now they have to kill whatever they catch? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

What Do Flakes Do/represent In Soft Plastics?
^Tom hit the nail on the head. Making a soft plastic bait have multiple colors can be a little difficult (roboworm does it well) but by just adding some glitter it changes the entire color scheme from one block of color to a multi-faceted color scheme easily and effectively.

What's Wrong With People?
I had "strawberries" and cream oats for breakfast today, but when I poured it in a bowl one of the "strawberry" pieces looked weird (suspiciously like a piece of apple). So, I looked at the ingredient list and it said (and I paraphrase slightly) "the "strawberry" bits that you thought were real pieces of actual "strawberry" are actually crappy pieces of dried, painted, and flavored bits of apple...sorry for the inconvienience". Why not just charge the extra five cents and use real strawberries? This is only one example of how companies lie about their products. There are brands of lemonade that use no real lemon juice, and pumpkin flavored ice cream with no pumpkin. Look in your pantry, and post if there are any products where the main ingredient is not in the ingredient list. If you look, I think you'll be surprised at how many there are.

Hobby Lobby has the best deals on airbrushes, because they have 40% off coupons (check out their website) to get both a brush and compressor 40% off you'll have to go on different days (one per person per day). I got an Iwata Neo and Iwata Ninja compressor, which is a great starter set-up, for a great price. I highly suggest getting a gravity fed brush they are easier to use, clean, and they waste less paint. For epoxy never use 5 min. you'll never have enough time get 30 min. I get that from Hobby Lobby too, I think their house brand is around $10.

Lure Modifications
Often overlooked, but dressing trebles on crankbaits gives them awesome extra action. I use straight marabou, feathers might act like rudders on smaller cranks.

Drum
It's a drum alright. Just not sure what kind, a snare or an oil drum.

Road To The Super Bowl!
First two quarters were great. Then that 4th down play, what was the thought behind that (oh wait, there wasn't any) that was when I knew it was over.

Road To The Super Bowl!
For the record. I wasn't trying to imply the Cheatriots, Billicheat, or Tom Shady was doing the cheating (for once) rather the zebras made a bad call. But, what a game so far.

Newest Addition
If you take her fishing you should train her to net the fish for you. Cute pup, they call dogs "man's best friend" for a reason.

Pick 6, then they got cheated on that onside kick.

Rod And Reel Collection And Selection.. Please Comment!
The only thing I would add is a ML or M casting paired with a 7:0.1 reel. Other than that, pretty sweet.
