If this gets out, I'll probably have to move (being from the South)! Like you, I know I couldn't name 3 ;D... As Ever, skillet

I fish Baby Brush Hogs a lot and I'm pretty sure it's bream getting the tails. The only problem is (can't answer your question) my OCD kicks in when I loose any part of a bait and I change it out :-[ :-[... As Ever, skillet

Thanks Matt !!! As Ever, skillet

I think it's more likely folks aren't familiar with those rods ... As Ever, skillet

I thought I was the only one that had that light bulb turn on over my head when I heard about putting the tag end back thru the hook eye. Man, did I feel DUMB :-[!!! As Ever, skillet

Really showing my age here . When I started bass fishing and a number of yrars after 'glass was all there was ;D. Haven't picked one up in quite a while though. I think I would go with the 5'6" or a 6' if they had it. I'm kinda sold on Shimano but Pflueger makes a nice reel also... As Ever, skillet BTW Don't tell any of the guys in the Shimano posse I said that ;D

Better late than never, HAPPY B-DAY !!! As Ever, skillet

Sure glad everything came out for the best !!! As Ever, skillet

Glad you gave it some more thought ... As Ever, skillet

WELCOME to the forums!!! As Ever, skillet

I'll muddy the water a little more ;D. I always use a palomar knot because I never got use to tieing any loop knot. My baitcaster is a righty and my spinning is a lefty and don't have a problem with either. Jimmy Houston mentioned he could make one walk in one direction like under a dock . Sure wish I could do that ... As Ever, skillet

It gets better!!! Going on 30 ... As Ever, skillet

That was great! If you come up with anymore let us have 'em... As Ever, skillet

Fishing with my parents when I was young, never failed that if we passed a herd of cows on the way my Momma would comment on whether they were standing or laying down. If standing we were supposed to catch fish, if not no fish. Have no idea how the cows knew ;D... As Ever, skillet

You might try going slower while you are learning. As Avid said make sure you have slack in your line when you snap the rod tip towards you .. As Ever, skillet

Whenever I've caught them, it was while fishing for Crappie with minnows. Was in FLA the first of this month and got to go fishing for Red Fish. Caught a couple and told my friend that they sure looked like Drum and he said they were. Also said that in the winter they fished for Black Fish or Black Drum (I forget :-[) only fishing deeper. Is this a case of one man's trash being another man's treasure? No offense meant to those folks out there that like Drum :... As Ever, skillet

You will be missed by a great many folks !!! Hope to hear from you soon!!! As Ever, skillet

At night, I'll go out on the patio in back (dark as the inside of a dead cow) and smoke a cig. I know about half the time there are probably deer out there, and every time there is, I'll be standing there minding my own business a buck will stomp and snort reall loud and my butt will pinch a do-nut hole in my jeans ;D... As Ever, skillet

Guess I'm showing my age, but I've wondered for years how you could pull that off with one of those old console TVs :-/... As Ever, skillet

Being paranoid really is a help (sometimes ;D). Time to put in a call to a business associate of mine, Guido and his knee capping partner :... As Ever, skillet

Went in a pet store not long ago and headed for the fish section. They had a Peacock Bass (about 6") in a tank by itself and was asking $69 for it. At that price, I hope it did tricks! The fella that was working there said that they were from the Cichlid family . Was wondering if anyone knew if there was any truth to this or just BS... As Ever, skillet

Congrats on your first with soft plastic. Most of my fishing is done from the bank and I depend on soft plastics more than any other type of bait... As Ever, skillet

Congrats on your first. If you keep using them, it won't be your last! I always thought a jig n pig was IT and then found Brush Hogs. I still like the bigger looking profile of the jig but i find myself using the hogs T-rigged more often... As Ever, skillet

Have heard many good things said about both reels on here. I own a Symetre on a 6' MH rod and think it's GREAT and would recomend it to anyone... As Ever, skillet

T-rigged with 1/8 weight and spinning gear. T-rigged 3/16 and 1/4 with bait casting gear. I use them anywhere you would use a jig n pig and try to imitate crawfish moves. IMHO Green Pumkin and Watermelon Seed are the colors to use. 3/0 EWG hooks As Ever, skillet BTW Regular Brush Hogs are great also!
