As many other people here have already recommended, I would try on a few different models of Costas. I have the Costa Fantails in 580p and absolutely love them! After having to replace the cheapos from Wally World every little bit, I decided to bite the bullet and buy a nice pair and I will never go back! Great investment.

After alot of researching and looking at reviews, i've realized there is a ton of different choices when it comes to crankbait specific rods. Since the lake I fish most is very deep, im beginning to lean towards a MH instead of just a medium. May even wait until the big Spring sale from BPS and pick up a M/m and MH/m Crankin' Stick to cover all the bases.

I have had luck with cranks/jerkbaits with orange belly but i don't think there is any color that is the best. Color is all specific to the water conditions in your water.

I like that shirt alot!

Had to give in to the bait monkey a little this morning... Small order of random stuff but it will suit the monkey for a few days atleast

7" Berkley Power Worm in Red Shad

Looking for a new crankbait rod to pair with a Lews in 5.4:1 gear ratio. Will be using for crankbaits generally in the 8-12' depth range, but would like a rod that is comfortable above and below that range. Looking in the ~$100-150 range. What is BR's opinions on these rods or do you recommend something different.... St. Croix Mojo Bass Glass Cranking Rod 7'4" Medium Duckett Ghost Cranking Rod 7' Medium Lew's Custom Speed Stick Crank Rod 7'2" Medium Opinions? Thanks

Buy what you want the first time around and you will be much happier.

Harvesting a deer with any weapon, Firearm or Bow, is extremely rewarding. In my opinion, the feeling from shooting a nice deer with a bow will give you a better feeling than dropping a deer from 300 yards away. Although the reward is higher, the skill needed is also higher, and you may spend your first season (or more) without getting that perfect shot on a deer. If you put in the time and effort scouting and patterning deer, and take the kill with the compound... i feel you will be much more satisfied.

If i could pick any lake to go fish it would be a no brainer to go to EL Salto! So many great fish there.

Congratulations! There went all future funding for the bait monkey

I am looking to get one of the BPS Gore tex suits...

I'm 21 and hopefully not going through a midlife crisis. Beginning of the summer I put my Ascend FS10 up for sale and bought a real boat. I bought a 1999 Bass Tracker with a 75hp Johnson and I've never looked back! Its a night and day difference. So many new spots i was not able to travel to before. With it being aluminum I feel safe taking it on my local river for trout fishing and its also got enough speed to travel to the other side of the lake for bass fishing. It is alot less work than the kayak. In my opinion, the ONLY downfall would be cost. Boat can be as expensive as you want them to be.
