rod longevity?
I know of a guy here in Georgia, that leaves his rods strapped down on his boat, year around. Now, if you have never experienced the sun and humidity here in Georgia say around August, you have missed out on an experience as close to Hades as you can get... ;D ;D Anyway, this guy has had 3 rods fail in the last year, and is constantly losing fish to break offs. I have tried and tried to tell him to just spend another 5 min. when he gets home and put his rods in the garage, but he will not listen,, he just badmouths every line he has ever tried, and rods are sent back to the manufacture for replacements.... : : : :

stickshift....
Personally, I think you should have to take your driving test in a stick, just so you know how to drive one. I have been driving a stick since I was 9 yrs. old on the farm truck and tractor. It actually feels weird to drive an automatic sometimes. There is just not enough pedals....

Does anybody else's dog love raw fish?
Years ago, had a big German Shepard, I took him along whenever I went salmon or steelhead fishing. He loved salmon..... now, as a pup, the guy I got him from had poisoned him with raw salmon blood, so he was immune, and he had acquired quite a taste for it... lol.... could not throw one up on the bank with him around.... it would be gone!!!!! and he didnt eat like the head or tail,, he went right for the meaty, fleshy, fatty part of the back.

The insanity begins: What are your local Gas Prices?
They said this morning on the radio that WHOLESALE gas, is now at 5.00 per gallon. So expect it to jump bad. and probably soon.

The Disparity Between Oil Prices And The Cost Of Gasoline
That is really upsetting. Our gas prices went up 0.15 a gallon over night because of Ike, and they are talking about rationing it as well.

Kistler vs. Powell
I only have experience in Kistler Magnesium in these heavier duty rods. I have a Heavy Cover Fish Snatcher (yes, that is what Kistler calls it). 6'10" Heavy with a Fast tip. I love it!!!!!!!! I use 65 lb braid with this rod, and it performs flawlessly. Very sensitive. Plus, the tip is fast enough, that you can actually make the rattles work on a jig (if you use rattles) without ever moving the jig. Lots of backbone, and can haul a fish out of about anything you can catch one in. It does not kill you to fish with it for hours, and seems fairly well balanced.

Anyone Tried these???

nfl help wanted ads
Seattle Seahawks - Wanted, any healthy body that can regularly catch a football. Due to ummmm circumstances, the Seahawks are in need of anyone capable of learning the West Coast Offense in less than a week and run very precise timing routes for games for the next 15 weeks. You will need to be quick, arrogant, and already have titanium screws and or plates in your knees and shoulders. Anyone with more than 10 NFL catches are welcome to apply (you would become our most experienced receiver on the team with that qualification alone). :'( :'(

Yo Zuri hybrid
Go with the Ultra Soft, you will never look back... I am even using 6 lb. on my baitcaster that I use for weightless plastics... works great. Color? I use the camo green? for everything. Although, I am thinking of getting something in a bright color since I seem to be going blind in my old age.... can not see my line half the time...
