    I love the optimism of a man who carries his scale on an outing to test his new equipment. Awesome !
  7. You are right about one thing, the non CB designated models whether Sierra or Champions will be faster in their actions. If you have a 704CB Champion the 684 is very very similar in feel. The flex moves a bit farther down into the middle third of the blank. My 684CB is probably my least used rod just because the 704CB does so much and I don't need the shorter rod to work baits. Both 704 and 684 CB models are designed as treble hook models and provide that controlled give to reduce tearing out the hook. Just to put my experience in context, I'm fishing for smallmouth and many times in current. PM me if you have any other questions.
  8. I didn't want a horse head in my bed so I picked this up tonight for that " offer you can't refuse." Too cheap to post the price.
  9. I only have the super shallow Who fishes the LJ Hot Lips besides me?
  10. I heard drummers can fish either hand effectively. I played the trumpet so right hand only for me.
  11. Johnny Quest. Sim sim sala bim.
  12. Love the sucker stick laying on his chest. Get well little buddy! My oldest granddaughter's Christmas program night. She plays the violin in the junior high orchestra. It was fantastic. Both middle schools came together with the bands and choirs and over 3000 folks showed up. Olivia and Papa.
  13. Absolutely!! I'm living proof.
  14. Broken surface water refracts light and fish, not just bass feel more comfortable moving distance or moving shallow. It's like a form of cover, similar to how bass use shade and or mud lines like a form of cover. This can stimulate the feeding impulse. Cover, such as vegetation can be agitated by wave action and fish will move, at times to edges where moving baits are often more effective. Wind action can move particulates and algae which can get bait active and the bass will take the opportunity to feed. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, jerbaits and top water can all come into play when this takes place.
  15. Come on man! Will some one please make a swimbait in sexy grass carp. Come on man! Will Diawa please make a Zillion without the T Wing.
  16. Come on man! Design a bass boat with a self driving feature so I can sleep while running the 30 minutes to the other end of the lake. Tesla owners are doing it. Why not me?
  17. The spinnerbait is a very unique lure type unlike lures designed to look like forage. But it offers features unlike any other bait albeit the Alabama rig or Chatterbait. File that away. The lure features provide contrast (skirt), flash (blades) vibration signature and water displacement (blade/blades). When you evaluate the situation you can put those features and attributes into play. Example: Smallies are roaming and munching allewives, perch or shad. Match the color scheme, blue glimmer shad and duel nickel willow blades and move the bait at speed and very that speed. Example: Largemouth are are in stained shallow water on flats with non emergent lilly pads, water is cool. Blue gill, sculpins, tad poles are starting stir. Provide a color that provides contrast, blades that displace water and a blade color that provides some flash. That may be a bream skirt, white/chartreuce skirt with double Colorado blades in gold. Slow the retrieve Apply the attributes of the features and match them to the conditions and adjust your retrieve accordingly. You will catch em!
  18. For that weight range Marc, I throw a Dobyns Champion 705CB. Several guys in our bass club are throwing the Fury 705CB. These also make outstanding squarebill rods. Good shopping.
  19. For the techniques you listed the DC 734C would be on target. The DC 744C is designated as a Jig Special and has, as mentioned, an Extra Fast tip action. The tip is very reactive and the rod locks up pretty quick, hence a jig action. If you can swing an Extreme 744 refurb you will be blown away by the increased sensitivity. Call Dobyns and tell them what you want because they are behind on listing available refurbished models right now.
  20. Don't encourage him.
  21. Come on man! Don't just down size your existing baits so you can call them a ned rig bait. Come on man! Stop building Alamaba rigs so they are so large Search and Rescue buys them to drag for drowning victims.
