Bazooka Pro. Two trips to Brazil, a few to Mexico, and I've yet to have a problem. I typically carry several rods, 8 - 12 to be exact. To minimize the possibility of damage, I use thick neoprene rod straps (made by Shimano) and take half of the rods and strap them together, then the other half and strap them together. Then I take both "halves" and strap them opposite each other together as well. I find that this protects the rod tips, since half are resting against the other half's butt section. I then put an old wool sock on each end to protect them from banging around inside the Bazooka Pro. Perhaps a bit extreme, but then again I'd rather take the additonal 10 minutes to pack them correctly and not have any problems. I use a reel case to carry all my reels onboard with me. I've yet to have a problem, but I've been told that some airlines make you remove the line from your reels.

Trust me, I feel you. Being in the mortgage business for the last 16 years, I feel your pain. Realistically I don't see this market changing for a couple more years. In fact, we havent hit bottom yet. There are still all of the subprime loans that were taken out in '05 that have yet to adjust. The worst is yet to come guys....

This is a great idea. There are so many people on this board and in this industry that do GREAT things. The beauty is that they do it not to get noticed, or publicly commended, but they they do it for the love of the sport and really genuinely love to help. Great idea guys, you rock.

Could not happen to a better person. I look forward to the day I meet you in person. Thanks for being the individual that you are. God Bless you Ronnie!

Hey guys, Hey guys, who makes good nets? I'm surprised I've not found someone online that makes really nice ones, perhaps wrapped like a rod or what have you. Any leads?

Gulp :-? I think Robert just had some other plans come up ;D ;D There will be plenty of this After the fight hopefully lots of this And that is it and that is all.

lol. Eric. Owner of Monarchy. d**n,...that comment is gonna cost me,lol :'( Lucky for you he doesnt come here. But Mark has!

Catch a bigger double digit on Clear Lake. (Or ANYWHERE for that matter!) Catch a nice bass on the fly. I predict a good fishing year for all.

I have to say that next to my dad, whom I love dearly AND love to fish with, Gidget is the best fishing partner I could ever hope for. She can catch fish. She makes a mean sandwich. No problem getting up at 3:30 am. Never complains. Kisses fish on the release. Oh and did I mention she can drink tequila with the best of 'um?

This car belongs to my friend Eric, the wheels are custom one off's made by my other buddy Vince that owns IForged. The wheels are center lock hubs. Car is even more impressive in person.

Keys on the deck of course, be safe! Thanks for the safe wishes guys!

My dad manages a top rank boxer, Jose Celaya. He is fighting a very well know Mexican fighter by the name of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, son of boxing legend Julio Cesar Chavez. Our fighter has a GREAT record, and is highly underestimated, so it should be a great fight. I found out that the fight will be in Leon, GTO, home of our very own Raul! I figured it would be GREAT to perhaps have some of our BR guys go if interested! Anyway, open invitaiton, the fight is February 9th. Contact me if interested guys!!!

Congratulations Ed - make us all proud!

Dobyns Rods are made in China, the quality is great and the cost is $250 for their top rods? Your $ cap makes no sense.

Come on guys, what's with all the drama? Sheesh....

Lovey my friend, just lovely.

Seriously Muddy, Gidget and I want to come out and visit you two as well, so we could kill two birds with one stone. It would be GREAT to make this a nice get together with the BR folk!

Peter Luger's, Peter Luger's....that's all I hear from my buddies back east. That it's the best steakhouse on Earth. I think we need to plan a BassResource dinner at this place. Who's in?

Classic! ;D

I have the white one as well as the one pictured. awesome baits.

Wow Ronnie. I know that day will come. Your story got me excited!

Regardles who makes it, post pictures for us to see.

True, but some of us catch real big fish, then that is better than what little man said.....

Nice fish! Congratulations! So if you released them in the evening, what'd you keep them in during the day? By the looks of the blue skies behind you, it doesnt look close to evening time....
