  1. scorpion 70 for finesse, zillion for the rest. own the zillion not the scorpion, looked into it heavily tho, great reel might cop soon
  2. dobyns is a great rod, casitas not so much. great reel, but it went last. mostly plastic parts where metal is needed
  3. go with a st croix 7'1" mh
  4. Looking to order some stuff from Tackle Warehouse. its of Keitechs and swim jigs for myself. Might ask fir a bunch of other stuff for xmas, should i cop friday, or wait?
  5. That would have been great
  6. I will be heading to New York on Thursday to do some college visits. I will be available Friday and Saturday. I plan on visiting SUNY ESF SUNY Oswego, Syracuse, Utica, Ithaca, and maybe a few others. I am not bound to any schedule or location. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to fish with me? I am not interested in hiring a guide. I just want to join someone who knows the area. I am happy to drive to fish. Thanks!
  7. What gloves do you recommend for active casting in cold weather?
  8. I understand what you mean. The nut that is used to tighten down on the reels seat, keeping the reel in place does not tighten enough to touch the other part of the reel seat. I have seen this before. It was with my stradic fa and n v by 31. It didn't bother me, but the reel seat broke when i over tightened it. If you send a picture that would help. If it bothers you, do something, if not you're fine, it might add sensitivity
  9. Anybody know of super clear lakes in ma. The one if fish is 30' of vis, and it is truly amazing to fish.
  10. Can you deep crank milfoil beds? I fish a lake in ma thats deep and clear. Mostly rock bottom, but around 15-20' is a bunch of leaves and milfoil only on the bottom. I wanted to try deep cranking there.
  11. This marking period is just resaerch, next is a paper, then an expirement, and finally a presentation.
  12. I was thinking of just citing the people directly. That would look more professional and still allow me to get the info. Its a shame how we know that this forum is very reliable, but I can't use it.
  13. I need info on centrifugal braking, magnetic braking, line, and fish shape, also why they jump. If you know about these topics and are willing to be a source let me know!
  14. Yeah, that sounds like a great idea for my experiment. My biggest problem so far has been finding reliable sources. I am not supposed to use .com at all. If i could, id just use this forum and id be done. Would any of you guys be willing to be direct sources?
  15. I will keep you up to date. I was thinking of rods, reel bearings, smallmouth jumping out if the water, boat weight vs speed, and fish finders. thanks for the help. please continue to give any advice. If you are interested in my findings, please follow this thread. i will update it occasionally.
  16. I am doing a project on the physics of fishing. I already have several ideas of how it relates to fishing, but wanted to see what you guys could come up with first. Thanks!
  17. not trying to be dishonest, just wondering if they'd be willing to price match other falcon buccos to the ones i already bought. either way I'm happy.
  18. Only one of the rods was $15.94. I price matched the other to get both for 16 each. If i went back with the receipt, do you think i could get the other rods that weren't exactly the same? I really like the falcon rods and I'm giving one to a friend.
  19. i hook more when i see the fish hit the lure.
  20. I use a bass mafia 3700 for terminal tackle. it is the best way to organize your hooks and weights. I then use various 3700 b0xes for all my tackle. My soft plastics go in plano 3700 double deep open cores. I am going to get some plano slim open to hold boxes when i am pond fishing.
  21. Get at least 12' and a bow mount is all you need. transom is ok but a pain. MINN KOTA edge for shallow or power drive for offshore.
  22. i think you can do it CAREFULLY. but don't \do it all the time i guess. I plan on doing it to mark fish or cover water really fast.
  23. I live in Paris, have a lot of family in ma, mostly Lancaster in eastern ma I think near Stowe and Marlborough and Berlin and hudson
  24. ok, that makes more sense, i did notice in a video that there were 3 seat post brackets. and someone mentioned a live well in the front. thanks. lol at first i thought you meant crappie a=in a different way. my bad
