Columbia Craw

Pros: Additional length provides longer casts. Length translates into more line take up during hook sets. Cons: Lengthy rods may make it more difficult in very tight conditions. Outside of skipping a jig, longer rods are beneficial, at least in my experience.

Yes and yes. Anytime you change one the three factors, rod length, rod action or lure weight, you’ll have to make some adjustments in your casting technique.

Ima Roumba in bluegill and frog.

I was Kokanee fishing on Merwin Reservoir when Mount St. Helens blew. Enough said.

As long as you take up the slack, regardless how, you’re good to go with the today’s hooks.

During an interview Gary Dobyns dispelled that myth. Each model with two exceptions, is individually designed with it’s own mandrel.The DC 732/733 sf are from a cut down earlier generation Xtreme 742/743sf.

Five best? So you go to a NASCAR race and the drivers run 400 miles and the driver who clocks the five fastest laps in the champion. That’ll work.

7-3, 7-4, mag heavy fast. Pitch, punch and frogs.

A jig

I don’t miss a pistol grip at all. I also don’t miss the kneel and reel , bronze hooks and trucker hats.

Yes. I was fishing a 10 inch worm at Clear Lake and was distracted by another boater and turned to move the worm. The worm was picked up and the bass had moved off over 25 feet to my right. That was well over 30 seconds. I have has fish immediately swim towards deeper water when picking up a lure. I’m convinced it’s a natural reaction to protecting the meal from being taken by a competitor. It reminds me of when I throw peanuts in the shell to blue jays and they grab and move to a secure location to break the shell and eat the nut.

Never thought about it.

Washington Oregon share a border being the Columbia. Fishing has slowly but steadily declined as a DIRECT RESULT OF BOTH STATES MISMANAGEMENT. Enjoy.

For plain swimbait jig heads I like Dobyns. Gamakatzu hooks and affordable.

Yes. A hundred bucks. My CU blocked my Visa and debit card once. I went in to ask why. The teller told me I was deceased. I was glad I wasn’t out of state when that happed.

Edmond Fitzgerald kind of stuff.

Beats reading a magazine.

Been there done that 50 years ago.

You may want to factor in some things such as lure weight, lure size, intended depth range, hook size, cover and structure and species. I fish with mono in larger tests as in 14-17 and flouro for 8-12 tests. You don’t have to spend a bunch of money to get a decent CB rod.

At Denver, you’re in Mile High Stadium. In Seattle, you’re mile high in the stadium.

I read this recently: I once met a man. I’ve never met a hero and don’t know what a hero is, but I have met a man.
