Loomis CBR 783?
Does anybody here own a Loomis CBR783? At first glance it seems very light and sort floppy do to it's moderate action. I looks like it would be great for light weight cranks. Thanks again for any opinions.

Rapala DT Series and line?
I use 12lb Berkley Fluorocarbon and no snaps. IMHO, it can change how the lure works. I have used them in the past but after failing to check my line and losing one of my favorite lures, I will always tie directly to the lure. If you want to see the difference in how it effects a lure, take a Manns -1 and tie it directly to the lure and then try it with a snap. This lure runs shallow enough that you should see the difference. Will it cause you to catch more fish? >>I have on idea but it will help the lure run as it was intended.

If you only had 1 lure to use...
If I could only have one, I would have to have a 5in Black with Blue Flake Senko with a 4/0 EWG hook.

Megabass Arrival
The bait monkey has got me by the *@!!s when it comes to Megabass. I have a few and they are some outstanding baits. The 110 is slowly becoming my favorite jerkbait.

People who have no shame!!! 4 u Fishizzle.
I want to grow old with style but after looking at those photos I think I'll just let whatever happens, happen. As far as the skinny women goes, I have seen corpses with more muscle tissue. The implants are just plain scary.

This is going to far ( Just Got To Vent )
There are good ways to protest and there are bad ways to protest. Going to a war vets. funeral is as low as you can get. If they want to protest the war in Iraq, why don't they go to the Recruiting Office where it all starts. It takes a true coward to protest a man's death, especially one that serves this country.

What is your guilty pleasure???
Skyline Chili. My mother and father grew up in the Cinci. area, so I sort of grew up on this stuff. Now I can't go a week without it. My others would have to be donuts and coffee (Starbucks).

Broke my Avid...replace it or upgrade it?
Sounds like a good deal to me. Lets just say you broke your laptop. Is Dell, Mac or whomever going to send you a new and better model for $100. No way......... If you got the cash go for the LT.

Not impressed with Trilene XL
I used XL for many years. I have since moved on to use Yozuri Hybrid, P-Line and Berkley Trilene Fluorocarbon. XL is sort the standard in line. There are better lines but XL might be the number one selling mono line out there.

Yum and Gulp...
I have tried some of the Gulp products but have had little success. I do like some of Berkley's Powerbaits though. I am a bigger fan of Yum. I like their lizards and the especially the Yum Dinger.

Fluoro line for spinning setups
8lb Trilene Professional Grade Fluorocarbon is the only one I have tried that has worked well right out of the box.

Cable Company (rant)
I hate cable with a passion... We have Comcast here in Indianapolis. Here is my story from years ago........ I was working nights and I get this knock on door while I was asleep. There stands a guy from Comcast telling me they're here to install my new digital cable. I told him that I did not want it. He said that they were just installing the cable and it was for everyone in my neighboorhood. He said that I had signed for them to do the work. He then showed me my forged signature, a long with all my neighboors. I called Comcast and I was told that they had a legal right to be there and the work would continue. I then called the Police (they never showed). While I was waiting I fell back asleep. When I woke, Comcast had used a backhow to destroy my yard so they could put the cable in the ground. They didn't fill the 3 foot deep trench in my yard. They also destroyed my neighboors privacy fence. Then they left a notice on my door step that the work was complete, enjoy your new cable. My neighboor ended up sueing them and won. It took over a year for them to come out and fill the trench and fix her fence. The bad part was that I was forced to use their new cable system. It started out at $34.99 for basic service but doubled in price 6 months later with out notice. We later had some trees cut back so we could have a satalite dish installed. On a side note, when I went to return the Digital cable box to Comcast, they wanted to charge me $400 for the box because I had broken it (I never used it). I refused to pay and wanted to see a manager. As I was waiting, I noticed that they told everyone in line the same thing. Everybody owed them $400. Luckilly I had the paper work from my neighboors law suit. I showed it to the manager and I asked if I should try and sue them again. I walked out mad but I didn't have to pay the $400. I will never use cable.

pescatarians
I have only been to one slaughter house and that was uncle's barn on his farm. To me it is just a fact of life. These animals are a food product. Yes they live and breath but they are here to fead us.

All this talk about steak, so here's a coupon for Mortons guys. :)
I had a serious issues with going to this place when I was asked by a couple of friends but my wife insistead that we go. I knew the check for the two of us would push about $200; appetizer, steak, salad, desert, and wine. Lets just say, after eating there that I apologized to my wife. It was the best steak I had ever had. They also had absolutely fantastic service. I don't think it's the kind of place that I would visit often but it was simply the best. Thanks for the coupon.......

Best Topwater Baits?
The Lucky Craft Sammy in Aurora Black is my favorite.

I hate computers
Maybe your boss needs to pull out the Mastercard and upgrade instead. I work with a Mac and a PC all day on a shared network and nothing is more frustrating than having a server down. I feel your pain.

Summer Jobs
I worked at video store when I was 15. The kind that carried more Beta and laser discs than VHS and actually charged a $300 membership fee. It was fun but during the summer I worked at a Flower and Patio Nursery. I gained about 20lbs of muscle there. I usually spent 3 hours a day unloading 100lb bags of top soil and fertilizer. Eventually the 20lb and 40lb bags seemed light as feathers. I tried a local golf course for about a week and told the owner to stick it. I hated getting up at 3:00am.

Secret spots ???
I have a couple. I'll even share one. It's in Green/Sullivan Forest in Indiana. It is one of over 120 strip pits. With in 2 miles of it, I can fish for Walleye, Salmon, and Pike. Each are stocked in their own individual pond. I usually catch alot of 5lb+ LM Bass on this pond. The thing is I need about 3 hours of hiking to get to it and my buddies GPS to find it. Good luck.

Most informitive PRO or SHOW......your opinion?
I have to go with The Bass Pros. And the one of the worst, which I watched today, is Roland Martin. He use to be OK to watch but over the years he has started to remind of the INFOMERCIAL guy, Billy Mays (I think that's his name). Nothing but product plugging and less about fishing.

Favorite Buzzbaits
Cavitron followed by Booyah.

Size line for BC reels
15lb has been a good average for me. I use 17lb for big heavy stuff and 12lb for small cranks.

Not bad for $23.81
Where did you get the coupon? Sounds like an awesome deal.
