FishTank

I use to be one that used crankbaits 70-80% of the time but softplastic just catches more fish for me. If I had to pick one that is the most fun to catch a fish on, I would have to go with a buzzbait.

Pretty much any dark color will do but my personal favorite is Watermelon/Greenpumpkin Laminate. Senkos are awesome but as others have suggested check out the sticky at the top of the page. I tend to go back and read it from time to time. Lots of good info.

I like the flat mini series. My personal favorite is the MR Chartruese shad. It has a medium to tight woble and it casts a country mile.

The Fat Ika is my also my top producer and it is flat out fun to fish. I rig it backwards with a Gamakatsu 5/0 G-Lock worm hook. My favorite color is Black with blue flake.

I had a great time with my wife and kids. I got to play with my kids and their toys for most of the day. So I guess you could say I got what I wanted. But I also got a stack of gift cards 4in high . Time to go shopping.

WOW.... I told those guys to be careful with my car. ;D ;D ;D By 2010 I think that Brazil is supposed to be the next major player in the oil market. They have been bosting that they will be the largest producer in the world.

What's your price point and what do you plan to fish the most? Here are a few suggestions........ ~$100>>> BPS Extreme 6'6'' MH $100-$200>> St. Croix Avid AC66MHF $200+>> G.Loomis MBR 783 IMX

The only rod Muskie rod I have ever used was a St. Croix Avid ??66MHF. At first it was like fishing with a pool cue but once a fish was on, this rod manhandled the big o muskie with ease.

I like Berkley Trilene Fluorocarbon. It has worked great for me so far.

6lb P-Line Floroclear has worked great for me.

I tried two spools of 15lb and found it to be the best Fluorocarbon line I ever tried. It has great knot strength, low memory, and it is tough as nails. I will continue to buy it and I would highly recommend it.

The high speed Curado sounds like a winner and probably the best bang for the buck. If you wanted to look at something besides a Shimano, I would also look at the Daiwa Zillion. At $250 it's not as good of a deal as the Curado but it's a fine workhorse of a reel. I would highly recommend it.

Shimano Calais 201A G. Loomis MBR783 GLX Berkley Trilene Flourocarbon 1. 5in Senko Greenpumkin/Watermelon Lam 2. Fat Ika Black with Blue Flake 3. Zoom Lizard Black with blue tail 4. Lucky Craft Mini Flat CB Chartruese Shad 5. Lucky Craft Pointer American Shad

I tend to use softplastic more than anything else but my favorite to catch fish on is any topwater bait. Nothing beats seeing a big o bass jump out of the water to hit some floating/buzzing/popping lure.

Man, you really know how to get someones hopes up and drop them flat. > Nice owls.

I saw these photos and I can't remember the last time I saw Eddie sober but they look to be in great shape except for Eddie's son. ;D http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ae/popupV2.asp?SubID=3310&page=2&GTitle=Van%20Halen%20at%20Key%20Arena

I would go with the Shimano Stradic 2500 or a Quantuam Pti-a 20. Both are great reels but line twist will never totally go away with a spinning reel. If you are only going to a spinning reel, you might give some YoZuri Ultra Soft a try. It will help some.

Another vote for the BPS Extreme Double Binder Bag. It holds lots of worms and it has been pretty durable for me.

Blazing Saddles is my all time favorite but here a few others.... Fletch Animal House There's Something About Mary Revenge of the Nerds The Private Eyes Caddyshack Spaceballs Office Space Ferris Bullars Day Off The Pink Panther The Naked Gun There just to many........

No but I have come close. I have seen worse. It needs about a foot of snow to go with it and about 50,000 more lights. At least this is not like my neighboor. She stole a broom, snow shovel and my little light up santa. She claimed that she thought that I was putting them out for the trash. The santa I understand because it was old but after it snowed about 10in, she just came over, took the shovel and broom off my back porch and used it to clean her driveway. HO, HO, HO.....

I have been using kid's Fiskars scissors. They work great. They're small and have a bright colored handle that makes them easy to find in my tackle box.

There is no such thing as Dolphin safe Tuna??????

Growing up a Ford fan, I think I might rather have one of these.

My boss is a Corvette fan, Big Time. I am sure he'll want to add this to his collection. The last one he acquired was an Indy Pace Car version from either 06 or 07. They are sweet. Not a big fan on Knight Rider but I guess this is the new car. 8-)

I like Senkos as much as anybody but maybe it's time for this thread to go away. : It started back in Feb 2006.
