Dan:

I just started using 6lb on a spinning rig. So far so good. I know lots of people hate it but I haven't found anything to hate yet.

holy crap, the last 2:00 were very exciting. I thought I almost jinxed our team...

Yeah, he would start losing to people from other states!

This is the only type of hockey that I actually watch. It's pretty awesome that we are beating Canada in their country at their game. Tin, what countries are expected to get medals?

very nice guys. Aaron, those pics look great!

if you can stand a little driving just launch in Mattawoman.

Was it advertised as being noisy? If it was advertised as new or like new then you could try to sort it out through ebay.

Yes, give them a call and tell them how you just voided your warranty by using Hot Sauce. :-/ If a reel is unsatisfactory when you buy it, take it back and exchange it ASAP.

Popov is too expensive. Karkov is $4 cheaper a bottle. A handle for $9.50. lol a handle for $9.50? Are you sure that's for drinking and not a disinfectant or something?

Gotcha. I'm always interested why some lakes freeze and others nearby don't.

Why is one frozen but not the other?

I saw a bald eagle today but didn't have anything capable of taking a quality picture...

I gotta figure a way to keep it from flying off the top of the car once I get to 35mph

IMO, copolymer is the best all around type of line.

But now you get to ride in EL TORO!!!!!!!

Looks like a Core Mg and a Steez had a baby.

Yep. Its just rastorized text layer,and I use a series of transform tools to tweak it so it looked like it was painted there. I did a lot of weird copyright notices back then. It was what I call my "paranoid" era, LOL. There's a bunch moer here: http://plan-b.smugmug.com/Photography/Pictures-Id-Like-You-To-See/901645_en55e#265077604_7rWTC I figured as much. I used to do a lot of 'shopping. That's a cool way of sneaking them in there.

John did you photoshop that copyright onto the buoy? looks great

I think that some people here think that there are a lot more people wanting to watch the Classic than there actually are. yeah cause id much rather watch 10 year old basketball games in the middle of the day on a saturday on espn. : As far as I can tell there are a bunch of live college basketball games on ESPN this weekend.

Gotcha. Some of our lakes up here have rules about being trimmed up. Burley, would a kicker motor be an option? A buddy of mine has one setup on his aluminum boat for HP restriction lakes.

Can you take a bigger motor out there as long as you have it trimmed up?

agreed

I haven't tried to many true FC lines but I've liked both the Trilene 100% and Invizx by Seaguar. Both are pretty limp and seem to be pretty abrasion resistant as far as I can tell. No problems with knot strength but I haven't given either of them a heavy work out in that regard.

once again. You cannot throw frogs on top of pads that are half a foot above the water.
