Bagley crankbaits - chipping paint
I am a huge Bagley fan, and I have had some similar issues with them. I have heard that some people have used clear nail polish over the finish to prevent chipping. I have not tried it, but will be soon.

Favorite oil base scent
i bought some of JJ's Magic and that stuff works well, only a couple of things to be concerned with. 1. Only let your plastic sit in the stuff for a good 1-2 seconds ( one onethousand two onethousand) any ore and the plastic actually will break down some and split. I figured I will leave it in for up to five, not a good idea. 2. That stuff stinks to high heaven, be careful and don't get it on your carpet.

Quantum Energy PT vs Abu Pro max
I have two Revo SX's and love them both and a promax and am impressed with it, I was just wondering about the Energy PT's, but since no one gave them a real good response, I think that I will just pick up a couple of Revo S's for two more setup's. Thanks everyone. I guess that I just had to get some help when I caught myself thinking about buying a reel other than an ABU, momentary lapse in judgement. Thanks again

"Senko" type worm questions?
OK guys, Maybe I am the only one here who has not caught a fish on these, or maybe I am just fishing them wrong. Please post up any tips, places and colors that yall like to fish these, whether they be Senkos, ***, Dingers, whatever. I need help. I am a crankbait nut and if it was up to me that is all I would throw. But I want to catch some fish using these and maybe I am not throwing them in the right areas, please help? Thanks

Palomar knot testimony
i use it or both it is very good. However with the heating issues of fluoro I start the knot, then stick the whole lure underwater while I cinch it down (yes I am a knot nerd). I even do this in the dead of winter, it sucks but I have a lot less breakage issues than my partner, who doesn't.

What do yall think of the Cumaras?
Hey guys, I am thinking about getting an new Cumara for a jig and trig rod. I have a flipping stick that I use for flipping and pitching, but at 7'8" it is a little big for casting jigs and trigs, what do yall think of the new Cumaras?

Thanks guys, I have the first image, I was thinking a snook as well on the second. If anyone has any more please post. I need something fairly detailed, like an illustration from a text or something. I have looked through the library (yup a real one with books- don't know how much longer those will be around) and couldn't come up with one. Thanks

Whats the best spinning reel for my needs
I lived in Tampa for a while a saw how many gators have to be removed and man yall should get paid by the tax payers. They are the same folks who want to build developments in swamps and then whine when there little fluffy dog gets eaten when they let it out. You guys do a job that only few would and I never realized that the government doesn't pay yall. Ok, enough of the rant, I was going to say the Van Stall also, but if price is an issue like others said a big Okuma or Penn. Personally I am a huge Abu Garcia fan and just got one of their new 800 series and they rock, but not sure if they make one big enough for you.

Just got off the phone with them, and got them to email me the schematics for the promax and I got the number for the spool, so looks like I will be ordering one soon. And keep up the Revo Bling. I want some!!!

Spare Spool for a Pro Max
Anyone know where I can get a spare spool for a Abu pro Max? I want one for Fluoro and one for Braid for my Flipping setup.
-
Anyone tried these new Abu Garcia Reels
I have several Revos and just recently got a Promax and love it. That thing is great so far, time will tell if it holds up to the Abu name (which takes about five years of use to be a real Abu)

One rod to rule them all?
I saw that episode and understand what he is saying, however he fishes more than most of us put together and can do things with a rod that most of us will never be able to do. I agree with trying to have all the same, but when you are the "Greatest Fisherman" as voted by your colleagues you can fish finesse baits on heavy action rods and other stuff. I love Clunn and hope to one day be a tenth of the fisherman that he is, but I will have to hold on to my different rods until I can get in his "zone".
