Orange Lake is'nt near Burmuda is it? ;D Just kidding, actually I am wanting a compass for my boat. My brother and I constantly argue about what direction is what when it comes to wind and such. It will save a lot of arguements. Jim

Went to Gander Mt and there stock was depleted. Picked up one pointer 78 in a shad color. Guess I gotta go to Basspro tomorrow, SIGH! Oh well a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do. Jim

Thanks for all the replies, Im gonna print them out. Lubina, I saw the real Vibe on an E-bay site that is Japanese. They look like real sunfish and stuff. Kinda neat looking. Jim

I would like to get my brother and brother in=law a couple of lures for x-mas. I know they would never buy these for them selves so it would be a little unique. My question is what would be best for a couple of newbies . Also color would help if youve had a lot of luck with a certain color. I like the look of the REAL VIBE lure, but dont Kow if there worth a hoot. One choice is a jerkbait as I like them myself. Thanks for your help, Jim

Keepers, all the way around!

I see the 100's are only 3 bearing compared to 4 for the 200. Think that matters? Jim

What is the differance with the 100 model compared to the one they offer now? Jim

I bought a Hitachi for my son last year. It was the cheapest one I could find that used the small DVD-R and DVD-RAM for rewriteable. He loves it. The good thing about it is you can pop it out and put it in your computer witout cables. Thats what he wanted. Jim

Here in upstate NY there is a fish virus going around called VHS. Heard it on the radio yesterday how it is in some of the lakes up here. That's all we need! Jim

Thanks for the replies and I think Ill wait for Santa. Jim

Any advise on these reels? They are on sale now for 49.99 at Basspro and I would like to try one as a first baitcaster. Am also thinking of the 7.1 ratio, is that a good choice? I will be using it for small cranks and senkos on a 6'6" MH rod. Thanks for any opinions. I was asking Santa for a Citica for X-mas befor I ran across this. Thanks Jim

My brother and I hit Kueka lake NY Saturday morning at first light. We launched at the State Park in Branchport. It was so foggy we just started down the shore with the trolling motor. My Bro caught a 3# LM and I lost what was probrobly the biggest fish of the year for me. My knot broke. I SUCK at knot tying, 4 years in the Navy and I still can't tie a knot. But my point is when the fog lifted the bite quit. If we hadnt went early, we more than likely would have got skunked. To me, its well worth going early. Jim
