Spent 2 hours practicing with BaitCaster
Yes, you can over spool them. If you want to get less birdnests, go with something braided, like spider wire. It will be easier. The easiest way to set everything right is to hold your rod at a 90 from you, and hit the button, adjust untill the lure is able to free fall to the ground, and your spool stops. Hope this helps.

slump breaker
Thats a nice lookin fish!! I too am a fan of the small ponds, but only because it cost so much to drive to the lake any more. I caught my PB in a pond that is next to golf course on an Air Force Base. You can throw across to the other side, and it is only about 100 yards or so in length. I know there is probably some hogs in yours too! Good luck catching them.

slump breaker
haha I failed to mention I was there since 2 o clock. It was complelty cloudey and about 62 degrees. And tyvm New2bass im just saying for that pond the average is at least 1.5 pounds or so, although there isnt an extreme amount of fish in the pond (good day 3-4 catches) when you hook one its a pretty good chance its of decent size EEEEEEK! I change my suggestion. I would find a new place to fish!!!!!! J/K man. But for real, only 3-4 on a good day?

Be carfull were you keep your fishing takcle! :(
Better get your significant other some new shoes first! And take her to get her nails done near BPS! That always works for me.

slump breaker
To bad you couldnt get outta the slump with a 5lber!!! You said its wierd you caught him on a worm at night in cold water, I would suggest you go to same place during the day with worms. You will probably get a few that way! Plastik

BPS Quality Control
If your in Austin, you can just head down south a touch, there is a Cabelas right there. Barely 15 minutes from Austin. Also, if you make it another hour, BPS just opened here in San Antonio. Plastik

Catfish Whiskers
I heard about that and thought the guy was pulling my leg. Your hand/forearm is basically your bait??? 100% true! They just put there hand in the hole, and the catfish bite down on them. Its kinda creepy i think. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/09/photogalleries/noodling/index.html

Why did this work so well today?
If you think you are addicted, then it WILL get a lot more expensive. Your going to go to Walmart to pick up some hangers because some guests arived, and walk out with 40$ in fishing stuff. You decide to swing by Academy with a pal, oops, there goes another 70$. I dont think I can even get out of a store that sells tackle unless I spend 30$. Make one trip to BPS or Cabelas, and your done man. The wife will start hollerin, and you have to buy her some MORE new shoes. Plastik

?? about the brake control knob on Daiwas
I would be telling a lie if I told you I didnt have a problem. I end up changing it with my left hand sometimes. Its not often, but sometimes my left index finger will slide on it, and change the setting. Its more appearent with my Advantage than with the Viento. Honestly, its really not an issue though.

IM IN LOVE!!!!!!
Viento is where its at! Its very nice when your fishing the soft plastiks!

Drained lakes/ponds
Could be that someone tossed out a few fish there. Also could be that various birds carried eggs on there legs and deposited them in the lake. Presto, 3 years down the road, very possible to have 2lb bass. Also, what is the lake called? Plastik

Switching hands
Its odd you braught this question up. I have always wondered the same thing. I use both Spin and BC, but mostly BC. All of my bc's are righty, but all of my spinners are lefty. It just feels unnatural for me to use spinning gear righty, and bc's lefty. Anyone else do this? Plastik.

Choke Canyon Skunk!!!!!
Wow, all I managed to catch after 8 hours was a sunburn! I didnt get a nibble! Gotta love those days, thats what keeps me going back. Its called fishing not catching right? Plastik. Tail between legs, head down, aloe on hand.

another baitcaster
Yup, the reason I am so big on Daiwa, is because of the quality vs. the price. Not nocking Shimano, but compare the Cruxis at 100$ with the Advantage at 100$.. WORLD of difference. I can tell you, I purchase 2 Cruxis, and took them back, and baught the Advantage, the Advantage wins hands down. On the flip side, the Curado, wich is a PHENOM of a reel, is 200$ and the Viento is 200$, I fish both, and the Curado has such a good feel that I think it is better than the Viento. But like I said, the twitchin bar is where its at!

another baitcaster
Team Daiwa Viento for the 200$ range, but you can get them new off ebay for about 150$. The brake is adjustable with the twist of a dial. Very easy to use, smooth casting, and the twitchin bar, I cant say enough, especially if you are a smoker The bar will give subtle action that can add a few more fish on the hardest days! http://cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0036070120548a&type=product&cmCat=searchFeat&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=daiwa&N=4887&Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&Ntt=daiwa&noImage=0 For the 75-100$ I would suggest the Daiwa Advantage, or Pro Tune Advantage, same deal with the brake. Awesome reel, casts a mile! http://cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0010924119141a&type=product&cmCat=search&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=daiwa+advantage&N=4887&Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&Ntt=daiwa+advantage&noImage=0 http://cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0029226119140a&type=product&cmCat=search&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=daiwa+advantage&N=4887&Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&Ntt=daiwa+advantage&noImage=0 Honestly, if you want a really nice BC, especially for all around, I would say get the Tourney 2 from Cabellas, has the dial brake as well, and you can get the Whuppin stick combo for 54$!!!! I use all 3 on a regular basis, at least 4 times a week. I would suggest them to anyone. http://cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0036329121139a&type=product&cmCat=search&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=whuppin+stick&N=4887&Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&Ntt=whuppin+stick&noImage=0 Plastik
