SPEEDBEAD.

Pictures or it didn't happen. ;D Is Moaner going to become a sponsor? I see their name thrown around on here more and more.

3:16 Real Deal on the way. 8-)

I'm bringing my boat and will likely have BadKarma42 with me. Three is doable, but it's tight. Havent had three in it since I built the front deck and put the front TM on.

Should I bother with them or what?

I saw where you (Pinnacle) were talking about a Shimano or an Abu going on the Pinnacle rods. I opted for the swimbait rod. Big baits require big reels (for the most part). Is there any plan on making a larger frame, low profile reel similar to the Revo Toro Winch or the Curado 300 size reels? Gracias again. Wayne

Aitch and James creek are 1.5 hours for me, either one would work. Francho, my swimbaits can eat your swimbaits. ;D

Looks like James Creek would get my vote. I have been out of Aitch and Shy Beaver before, never James Creek.

I would be down for wherever the most amount of water away from the main lake is. Will look at maps and re-post.

It's a 51, thank ya very much.

There is an *** for every seat. Literally, in this case.

Yep, 45 ACP loud. ;D No big deal, I only shoot to maim. But can you wing a weigh in bag at 100 yards? Don't have to. Pretty sure he'll drop the bag back in the water after the second or third report. ;D

I was looking at the Tackle Tour photos and I really like the looks of that rod. For the tests, it will get a Curado 301 and a Cardiff 301. For the long term, I think a Toro Winch would look choice on top of it. Yes, I got the Swimbait rod.

Pyramid sinkers and cut bait. ;D

I'll keep trying, hoping one of these times you'll get it...

Is the $ your favorite key stroke?

Yeah, good luck with that. Ask RoLo how he feels about Loomis when he EXPECTED them to replace it for free. I would like to know how many rods they actually replace for "free." : I have ONE Loomis factory rod and one custom built on a Loomis blank. They will likely be the only ones I own.

My question is where the hell are all these votes coming from? 29? I haven't seen more than 10 or so people post up in this thread...

My vote is in for the Saturday in September, but honestly I can probably make just about any of those (depending on work).

I think PA might be one of the luckiest states. Seyone, oprcrs, BadKarma and now I have won rods from Pinnacle. Thank you so much Marc. I am really looking forward to it. Wayne

October Saturdays are a no-go for me. That is archery season and I like to kill ****. ;D

That is encouraging. I did Marburg not too long ago on TM only. It's a 1200 acre lake and we probably went to 3/4 of it. Never changed the 24volt in the front and changed the 12 volt rear one time.

I would be working that little hump off to the left of #5.

I agree 100%, however people will now have doubts. Guilt by association is a fact of life, especially when "winning and losing" are thrown in.

You're a sick man!!! That is some week, Dwight. Let me know when the smallmouth start picking back up. I'll be there.
