Dan:

I don't understand how those places aren't in violation of sanitation laws.

I don't think they saw it as a way to get rid of him before his bonus was due, I think it was more that they didn't know what was going to happen in the investigation and having to pay the bonus just helped them make up their minds.

Yeah, and then call the spelling police to report NewAngler's misspelling of the word "grammar" ;D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muphry%27s_law

Good to know. Thanks

I knew there was something more to this story. Where'd you get that, BL?

^I like Malware Bytes' Antimalware also. It's free and it finds stuff that some other programs don't find.

Glenn, how do the google ads work?Do they filter their ads for malware and was this recent malware-linked ad a freak occurrence that somehow got through? I'm just a little skeptical about clicking on any random ads right now.

get something to block the ads.

I never thought people actually clicked on those links...what was it an ad for?

What I meant was that for rods that retail for around $200 there are better options ;D Good luck with the IMX, I'm sure you'll be happy with that choice.

I really hate to say it, but I have not been overly impressed with the sensitivity of my Cumara M/XF 7'2" rod. It replaced a St Croix LTB spinning rod of similar ratings but I regret it now. I firmly believe the LTB was more sensitive. Wayne, if you can find a deal, go for the IMX or GLX. If you can't, there are better options than the Cumara within its retail price range.

x2. It's not about time as much as it is about having the rod in your dominant hand for better hooksets. That's why I use left hand retrieves.

Sorry dudes, at the request of my friend, I cannot provide locations.

I know....Too bad I'm sending my reels out on Monday. All 5 are getting cleaned, lubed, and greased. Two of them will receive new Orange Seal bearings.

Stoops? Why would they want him right now?

A friend of mine sent me this photo. The biggest of 7 he caught today by dropshotting some ponds.

Of course. I usually change them if I'm casting into heavy wind or if I change from one bait to another of a vastly different weight. They're there to be used, but if you stay within similar conditions and throw lures with similar weights you shouldn't need to use them too much.

why, Pointers of course!

Rowland, I'm guessing you'll be spending some time at the Daiwa booth at the Richmond Fishing show?

I've got no beef with the chosen people, and at least I know when Hanukkah is!

Hanukkah is way over, dude!

Thanks to CFFF 1.5! Perfect selections! Hopefully they'll help my catch some of those suspended cold water bass around me! Merry Christmas! Am I the only one who is not too lazy to post a pic??? Come on guys

Feliz Navidad

My Extreme feels like a broomstick compared to my "name brand rods." It is a MH that is more like an XH and it is heavy and not very sensitive. I use it as a swimbait rod.

the orange ones are made exclusively for Dick's Sporting Goods. From what I've heard, they aren't as good as the silver Capricorns. I've heard of some longevity issues but I always thought they felt like decent reels in the store.
