Congratulations on the gear. Catch some hogs this weekend!

I paid $350 for the Steez 100HA on Ebay. We may have bought it from the same seller Jimzee. I fished the Steez on Sunday, PERFECT reel for my Evergreen Balista. It feels like a lightweight Zillion.

That, Micropterus, would be a bad day indeed. Plenty of bug spray for the trip. Trust me. I even spray the bed, around the bed, and on the bed when I sleep.

No replacement for now Ed, I am having waaaay too much fun buying JDM tackle. In all honesty cars have taken a back seat to fishing. it's funny how my car buddies think I'm nuts - "how can fishing be more fun than cars?" is a question I hear all the time. That is until they come fishing with me. You did however make me think about my old Lamborghini - I was looking at some of the old pictures....

Waaaay too many mods to list, but here is a great picture taken by my other buddy Kirby.

I need to find my camera. > Steez 100HA and my new favorite in the looks department, the JDM Zillion HLC. That reel is just plain dead sexy. Here are file photos. Steez 100HA Zillion HLC

My good friend Fred installed "bypass pipes" on his 2007 Porsche GT3RS. Here he is doing a run through a tunnel. Turn up the volume. mod note- Be careful with the volume, a straightpipe creates a very distorted sound. Fried my right speaker. Loudness doesn't hurt a speaker, distortion does. Start off low and gradually turn it up.

Excellent gesture, and thanks for the shirt!

Beautiful lure, I have two of them. They stay in the box though.

I've heard nothing but GREAT things about the Revo line of reels. A very good friend swears by them.

Just being honest - if you want a crankbait rod or spinnerbait rod, this is for you.

mattm, You may be ok walking the dog with this rod, but senko's are out in my opinion. Natural, Trust me on this one- you will love this rod. I honestly think it will go up in price once the word spreads.

Several that are mentioned I agree with. My personal hero though has to be Larry Dahlberg. I want to be just like him when i grow up and fish the world for exotic species. He totally inspires me

Compressed cork covered in clear plastic. Daiwa sells those grips. I have a few on some of my reels. They look great!

I feel like I need to go to FTA - Fishing Tackle Anonymous. ;D

Wow. Too bad they are mostly all lefties.... TD-Z - $499.00 Type R - $450.00 TD-Z Ito - $450.00 Millionaire Ringa - $499.00

I have to add spiders and mosquitos to the list too.

Think of the possibilities. Think of the fish swimming in its waters. http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2007/apr/25/starsgalaxiesandplanets.spaceexploration

I was just in the garage getting some gear ready for the trip when I find a dead potato bug by the tool chest. I HATE THOSE THINGS! They seriously give me the creeps. Evil looking little buggers. What bug or animal drives you nuts?

The Humminbird with side imaging tech looks very cool. By the time I get my next boat it should be in its next generation I assume, so i may switch over to Humminbird as well.

Sweet! It even matches. Is it a tiller? ;D

Looking at that fish is making me hungry. Time for some sushi.

One day a guy dies and finds himself in hell. As he is wallowing in despair, he has his first meeting with the devil. Satan: "Why so glum?" Guy: "Why do you think? I'm in hell!" Satan: "Hell's not so bad. We actually have a lot of fun down here. You a drinking man?" Guy: "Sure, I love to drink." Satan: "Well, you're gonna love Mondays then. On Mondays, all we do is drink. Whiskey, tequila, Guinness, wine coolers, Tab, and Fresca. We drink 'til we throw up, and then we drink some more! And you don't have to worry about getting a hangover, because you're dead anyway." Guy: "Gee that sounds great!" Satan: "You a smoker?" Guy: "You better believe it" Satan: "All right! You're gonna love Tuesdays. We get the finest cigars from all over the world, and smoke our lungs out. If you get cancer - no biggie, you're already dead, remember?" Guy: "Wow,that's awesome!" Satan: "I bet you like to gamble." Guy: "Why, yes, as a matter of fact I do." Satan: "Good, 'cause Wednesdays you can gamble all you want. Craps, blackjack, roulette, poker, slots, whatever. If you go bankrupt, it doesn't matter, you're dead anyhow." Guy: "Cool!" Satan: "What about drugs?" Guy: "Are you kidding? Love drugs! You don't mean...?" Satan: "That's right! Thursday is drug day. Help yourself to a great big bowl of crack or smack. Smoke a doobie the size of a submarine. You can do all the drugs you want. You're dead so who cares." Guy: "Wow! I never realized Hell was such a cool place!" Satan: "You gay?" Guy: "No..." Satan: "Oooo, Fridays are gonna be tough .."

I don't think it's a novelty at all. People thought the same thing about carbon fiber when it came out. These rods are IDEAL crankbait rods.

Both! Part of the excitement for me is buying the latest lure, rode, reel, etc. When I actually get to use it and land a fish on it, completes the circle.
