Two handguns? :-)
The second person that said this.. The Shadow 2 is one of the most popular match guns home and abroad. It is an incredible pistol. It's funny you two scoff at the price tag, yet some seem to yearn for $450 polymer Glocks as a viable replacement. Oh, and your analogy was absolutely terrible. As far as the price goes, CZ has never had an over the top price structure even with low availability and slow production. Please enlighten me as to what dreaming big would be in your opinion? If you are going to mention a Glock product then you might as well not even waste your time. You can have any handgun in your stable and people are choosing one of, if not the, most common products on the market. Sheep.

Any CZ fans?
So like I said in my original post, I ended up with an FDE P-10C. I've had it for about two weeks now and I really enjoy it. The ergonomics, the trigger, the shootability are all great. I would recommend this to anyone shopping the mid-sized striker fire market. It's quickly become my favorite CCW. I have to yet to experience any failures with a wide array of rounds, and I have shot pretty solid groups with it since new. If you can find one, don't hesitate and jump on it!

Whopper Plopper anyone's favorite Topwater Lure?
Feed the addiction and buy the 110. It is a much better design.

Whopper Plopper anyone's favorite Topwater Lure?
I like the 110, it has actually worked for me unlike the 90. While I enjoy the productivity of the WP, it's not even close to my favorite top water lures. It is just a cast it out and burn it in type of lure. I enjoy frogging and walking spooks/poppers much more. My favorite top water lure at the moment though is the Megabass Siglett. It has done really well for me on farm ponds. It looks like a huge horse/bot fly and it retrieves like a jitterbug. I've had the most luck slow twitching it and pausing.

Whopper Plopper 110 is here!
It whops and plops from start to finish without having to hold your rod tip straight up or waiting for it to settle in the water. It also has a deeper chest that allows it to stay on top of the water. Most of all, where the body meets the tail, the tail is recessed into it so it keeps debris out a lot better. This bait fishes like I hoped the 90 would have at the time. From someone who was thoroughly disappointed previously I have no problem recommending this new design.

Whopper Plopper 110 is here!
Okay so I fished my 110 for the first time today, and wow am I impressed. I had a 90 that I fished plenty of times and I never caught a single fish. The 110 was much easier to fish, I could cast my Curado70's entire spool and it actually works! I got two decent fish in an hour. I used a 7'3" MH with FX2 and it seemed to do the trick. I never fished the 90 on braid. The hooks on the 110 are beefy though so the braid with this plopper makes a little more sense. I had no faith in the 90, so to see this new size catch two fish in an hour pleasantly surprised me. I recommend it. The 110 is a greatly improved design.

How often is your SK 2.5 used over the 1.5
I use the 1.5 80% of the time.

What to do when bass are jumping and going after bugs
Megabass Siglett! love that lure. I've got two with the fur finish and one that's darker colored. The beetle-x is great too but considerably larger. It will walk like a jitterbug but is more effective still. It's like fly fishing with a baitcaster.

The latest sale thread
Just ordered an F1 Storm jacket from Frabill. I was looking for a new black rain jacket, and Walmart has them for a similar price but only in the light blue and green. Hopefully it turns out to be a nice outer shell. Thanks Jake!

Gander Mountain Closing
I called my local Gander and they couldn't tell me whether they were staying open or not, but did mention that there is a big "Going Out of Business" banner across the front entrance. This location literally just opened 8 months ago. I don't know what could possibly go into that building.. a pretty unique structure, like when mom and pop shops move their store into defunct pizza huts.

Cranking a jerkbait?
I do it all the time, especially with rip style lures. Jerkbaits with cupped bills swim the best. Try the Baker JLD, Jackall Squad Minnow and Megabass Trick Darter.

Two handguns? :-)
jeez.. dream big guys. I can't even begin to imagine what's in your dream garage. A 2003 F-150, a 2007 Honda Accord and a 10' Jon boat.
