Columbia Craw

Happy 420 everybody ! I meant 2020. Honey.....where's the Doritos?

What am I giving up on? The hope of lower gas prices.

I use the same system when picking night crawlers.

A new book of checks.

Yup. That's where it all started. I still have 5 BB1N's, two with the anti reverse switch on the top. I screwed up and sold the two Shimano made Lews back in 1979. They were the deal in the day with three bearings. They still cast great.☺️

I have a match pair of Lews BB1's and have been happy with them. That's for deep cranks that have significant resistance.

Plastics, lots of plastics. My plug knocker won Most Valuable Player this year.

Lurking is good. Welcome. This is a fun group as you already know.

Isn't that your new Tesla???

Lot of that going around

Just my own classically trained tenor voice.

I have a kink in my neck. Grist mill est 1880 about 35 minutes away. I wish it had snow. It would have made a nice Christmas card. Can't get it to rotate.

I'm going to start crocheting rod covers.

The Champion 735 as mentioned. If your budget is limited the 735 in the Fury and or Sierra series. For jigs you want great balance due to it being a tip up technique. You also want a blank that locks up pretty quick to drive those beefier hooks home from a distance. You still want enough tip to load and cast well. The 735 provides those attributes. Balance, Power and Tip. Happy shopping !

My biggest is a 5.13 on the Umatilla Pool of the Columbia. Before smart phones but not before a digital scale. I lost one over six at the boat and wet myself.

Straight braid for three applications, punchin, swim jig and frogs. Braid with a leader on all my spinning rods. I like the reduced line twist and small diameter. Everything else is done with mono or floro.

To think this view is only 90 minutes away.

She knows. Trust me, she knows. Are you serious Clark ?

I just received an order from Sieberts which included the Extreme Arkie and Grid Iron Arkie. I'm not sold on a sickle style hook but that's my opinion. Mike's stuff is very good quality.

Too bad it's a med heavy and not a medium. Great technology and performance but pricey.

My head hurts

He he he. Good try.

There must be more profitability in outdoor clothing and ATV's than fishing lures and and boats. It's a self serving format. It's better than watching Judge Judy or Gun Smoke re-runs. Well, at least the Judge Judy part.
