I think he might mean 700. The SPS is probably the best on your list. Stay away from the 770. Personally, I like Savage firearms. The fit me well and I like synthetic because it stands up to the way I hunt.

Does PA require a course to obtain a hunting license? For junior hunters, yes. I believe that once you are 18, they do not require you to have it. You can just show up with a driver's license and purchase one. On your other post, we also fill out an additional form whenever someone purchases a handgun (one form for each pistol). We call it the PSP (PA State Police) form as it is sent to them after the sale.

He is home and back to being a ****** bag. Hope everything remains well...

That's what I thought. Figured I would ask...

1/2 pipes suck, full pipes are where it's at. That's what I like to see. cdxx ;D Good to see ya around brother.

The safety course is a good idea. PA is a "shall issue" state as well; no course requirement.

Must suck to be limited on the number of purchases, Dan. I thought VA was firearm friendly?

Already sent one in brother, but no worries. Have you gotten anymore rods in for me? So, do I not have to send one now? Ah, I'll send anyway. Can't hurt.

Yeh we will be there Saturday.That is if i dont run a couple of stop lights or signs and get demolished. I think we should be there between 12:00 - 2:00. What time you getting into WV Speed? I'm trying to be at Blaine's sometime around 9 or so.

^ He's the reason I started throwing a split shot rig too.

I'm good with that assessment too. Patriots are looking tough right now.

1. Jig 2. Swimbait 3. Split shot rig Edit: Actual swimbaits, not paddletails.

We'll be there on Saturday, come hell or high water. (Last year, anyone?) ;D I will be in the mood to drink a beer and catch a fish, probably in that order.

You'd be fine with either two. I grew up shooting a Mossberg 500 that I still have today. It isn't pretty, but I can still knock down a dove/duck/goose with it. Now that I have my Winchester SX3 though.... :-X I'll keep the Mossberg in case someone else needs a shotgun.

Thanks for all the well wishes fellas. I will be sure to let him know. As was said before, I will update when I can.

Interior design a hobby of yours? :-*

Just received word that our favorite grump is in the hospital facing some possibly serious issues. His best friend Tommy (TheBeast) sent me a text and gave me the "ok" to post up something on BR. Will give updates as I find them out. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Wayne

I like the concept behind them as I have seen how bass react to a laser pointer in a tank. The thing that most confuses me is why their jerkbait is not a suspending model. Wouldnt it be more effective that way?

Oh, I'll play along. American History X 300 The Program (still want to get drunk and kick *** every time I watch it) ;D Shawshank Redemption Fight Club (Some twisted shat in there)

That bluegill is TOUGH looking. I like it.

Any updates or pics? Nice looking bait.

Atta boy Randall. Keep sticking them.

Don't get me wrong, those Extreme reels are GREAT for their intended purpose. I have a couple BPS house brand reels that I use to throw cranks and jerkbaits. They are the only reels I have that I could drag around the lake all day in the water and still have them working when I pulled them out. I have had them for over 5 years, never been disassembled or cleaned. Still working fine. You'll love the Cardiff for the big baits. If you buy a left handed one and don't like it, I'll probably buy it from you. Wayne

I agree with everything about a well trained thumb. I also agree with Raul that bigger baits WILL turn a "typical" low profile reel into useless parts. Try a Cardiff 300 and you will have a well built reel that will handle all of the 17-20lb line you will ever need when throwing swimbaits. The Curado 300 is a great reel, but is a little more of an investment than the Cardiff.
