Columbia Craw

I'm a Looooong time Normans fan so I could not miss this one.

Did ICE send them back?

I showed this to my therapist. He told me this is exactly why i'm psychotic.

Depth will be relative to the fishery. What I do know is smallmouth in my region have a propensity to move deeper after the need to stay shallow to spawn. If you really look at it, 20 feet is not that deep in clear water. My deepest smallmouth was in 51 feet and that was in a river fishery. I'll always try to find the bait.

Over 15 years at least. Became YUM.

My local family owned store buys these by the gross and uses them a a loss leader and advertisement. Great gifts at 7.49 too.

The wife and I made it to the beach last Tuesday for a day without chaos. Hay Stack Rock is a fun destination.

I had a Falcon Low Rider and Cara several years ago and they were very good rods. One more option for anglers.

Zoom Trick worm. Put it on a Sieberts Tungsten Shacky head and you're in business. Missile baits are reasonably priced. Big Bite Baits 25 packs are money savers. YUM is also a real value.

What does having a catheter got to do with this ? Woops, sorry. You were referring to something much different.

Gotta love that claymation !

It's official. The new NHL Seattle Kracken. So Liam Neeson get's a royalty everytime the announcer plays him saying " Release the Kracken!" Now the puns start. The stadium will be referred to as the Krack-House and the fans called Krack-Heads. The mascot could be Squidward from Sponge Bob Square Pants. After the game we'll all go out to eat at the Kracken Barrel. And so it goes.

The first thing I would look at is the club's format. They may have a TEAM format so participating as a non-boater may be difficult. If the club has a draw names for non-boaters format, it's a very positive opportunity to learn and fellowship.

Here's the deal. People here are respectful, helpful, patient, mindful that not everyone has the experience or resources as others. Glenn didn't just create a format, he established a culture and has fostered it well. Getting on here is like taking a coffee break.

I agree with A-Jay but might add a thought or two.. Vibrating jigs develop their action or movement by shifts in the manner water contacts the blade, develops pressure until the pressure is channeled to one side of the blade or the other. This is the same principal in a billed crankbait. The shift in the pressure or resistance is so rapid in establishes a vibration. The vibration or rapid shifts in the waters shifting off the blade can be enhanced with a rod that has a slower or delayed reaction to the give and take of the pulsating of water shifting off the bill. Like many others, I like a rod that has the delayed reaction but you don't have to fish an all glass rod to get that benefit. There are graphite rods that have this characteristic. The application of glass and graphite composites has been very successful. Power, lighter weight, sensitivity of graphite in the lower two thirds withe the delayed response of glass in the upper third has been effective. The give and take reaction of glass and or composite rods ( and some moderate graphite ) has another benefit and that is cushioning or absorbing stress which might lead to bending lighter treble hooks and more importantly tearing the hooks from soft tissue. How you choose to capitalize a delayed reaction or " slower" action is up to the angler. Just my two cents.

Boomerang.

Braid changed my whole outlook about spinning gear. My buddy says, "If you ain't spinning, you ain't winning."

Grab a Fury 705CB when on sale and you are good to go.

My deep cranking rod has a secret compartment in the butt cap filled with ibuprofen.

It's not optimal because it's a bit faster action but as a 3 Power it will work for that application.

I've caught smallies on the Ned Bomb. The whole NED deal has gotten out of control. Every manufacture has the new best NED bait. Okay.
