I keep saying that I'm gonna invest in a self inflating PFD. Pretty dumb for me to have gone out by myself yesterday without one. :-[

Just got a response from TT. "Thank you for your inquiry and interest in our products. Unfortunately I was unable to see the picture you attached the link for. In regards to your issue with the breaking hook, as you are well aware all the Ikey Head products are finesse fishing lures. With this said, Mike I. designed the lures using a light wire but very sharp hook...and with that intended the hookset to be a finesse sweeping set as you will see he does a lot when he is catching fish. I'm not sure how you may have set the hook on the one you broke but I know that I have bent a couple myself using my typical jig hookset rather than the finesse style I am not accustomed too. As you mentioned it may have also just been a bad hook or with a slight flaw that caused the break. Either way I will pass your comments on to our QC manager so he can have a look and investigate. Thanks again for your comments and continued interest in our products."

If anything, I've found them to be a little softer... I own a M and a MH.... I'm sure you will love them. The M is so much fun to fish shakey heads and drop shots on 6lb line. 8-)

Sucks because I really like the Tru Tungsten products. Anyone know if these are Gammy hooks? I tried researching it at the TT site... These things ain't that cheap either.

Ooooops. A swing and a miss!

:-? Huh?

I recently used the expeditor service for my 10'6" surf rod. Top notch. A new $300 rod cost me $50.

Just saw him at work this morning. The doctor prescribed a cream for it....

The Crucials have a sticker on them ..... "Made in China"....

You guys crack me up....where are the Shimano rods made again? Anyone? Anyone?

On hiatus...

Nice and cool down at the ocean.... no complaints.

Pro's yes.... Con's: 1.Price. 2.Has a tendency to leak in boosted applications (turbo or supercharged engines) but I have found this to be true for all synthetics. Use it in the race car and the street car.

Carrot Stix are doing fine by me. Not for sale....

Good vid here:

I try that one with Tin all the time.... ;D ;D ;D

Ugh....Wallum. We might be down for this. Keep me posted.

^^^Addicted to wood carving^^^

Spinning, hands down. I love my Revo...but I have more accuracy and distance with my spinning reels. I also love to skip plastics under overhangs and docks...much easier for me with a nice spinning set up.

Someone's addicted....

That makes 2 of us....

It's my buddy Rick's. He hooked into a nice 5 and the rod just blew apart. Still landed the fish after pulling it in by hand.

;D ;D ;D

Heading up in the morning myself.....
