How many of you, Fish like this?
I have a good friend who is in charge of the state mental institution and he said that it is something to having a full moon. I believe there is something to the full moon affecting different things but I have no proof of it . I do know I went to the dentist on a full moon. He gave me all the shots he could give and never got me completely numb. I don't got to the dentist or the doctor on a full moon if I got a choice, no use in taking a chance.

Soft Plastics
I probably use more Zoom products, good products for a reasonable price.
- Canadian geese problems

Favorite Spinning Reels
Hard to beat the Pflueger line. I use the Supreme XT, little more pricey but has some upgrades from the President line.

BIGGEST RAT L TRAP YOU THROW
Same here, I believe that is the biggest I own. As much as I love crankbaits, not a big fan of lipless cranks.

Price Contrast
I probably had that catalog. When I started back fishing last year, I guess I was remembering those old prices. I got sticker shock when I starting buying new lures. $4.00 was an expensive crankbait back then.

"Rich mans sport"
I golf and it is expensive. I work at a golf course part time so my golfing green fees, cart, driving range is free. The money I make working there go to my fishing expenses.

crankbaits
10# or 12# mono is the way to go. I have using Sunline Natural but I might try Seaguar Senshi. I can use 15# test but has a dia. of .012.

Smallest braid to fluro knot for reflex guides
I also use the Alberto knot. Fairly simple to tie and you will never know that there is a knot.

All-time best "Gimmick" lures
That S.O.B. could be a collectors item. If I would had this, I wouldn't even need a boat.

Ned Rig : Updated Line Choice ?
Read some reviews on the Gliss sounds good but most did not like the line. It would be great just to use 24# test on my spinning reels and not have to use a leader. I guess for now I will stick with my Power Pro 10# test braid with 7# test Sniper fc.

most useful worm type
I caught more fish on a Zoom U Tail worm than all worms combined, color Junebug.

How many times have you lost a brand new lure first cast?
I lost a spinnerbait before the first cast. I was just starting to tie on a spinnerbait when I saw a snake coming toward the boat about ten feet away. In trying to scare the snake away, I somehow manage to dump my spinnerbait overboard. I felt kind of stupid but at least I did't break my rod fighting the snake.

Bassmaster Academy Worth The Price?
I got the $10 offer in the mail but decided not to get it. Like other have said, too much free info out there to pay money for it.

What magazines y'all reading
Only read Bassmaster mag, I got issues from 1978 to 1990+ in my attic. I don't believe it is as good as it was, I guess because of the intenet.

How many still buy and use old style crankbaits?
Just about my whole tacklebox is older cranks. I have mostly 70's, 80's Poes, Bagley, Bomber, Bandits, and even have some Strike King Spence Scouts. How many remember the Scouts? All these baits caught fish then, they will still catch fish now. My favorite are the Poe's RC1 and 2, and the 300 series.
