Lots of advice from guys with similar experience. I'm sure your doctor clearly understands the fishing issues, so don't be hard headed, follow his advice! 8-)

Treat it with KVD Line & Lure conditioner and you will like it even more! 8-)

Too cool. Congratulations! ;D ;D ;D

If you want to wait and try mine out, I'll send you some of these with your package if I can ever get it in the mail! http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0012129113363a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntk=Products&QueryText=gamakatsu+round+bend&sort=all&Go.y=8&_D:hasJS=+&N=0&Nty=1&hasJS=true&_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/search/search-box.jsp.form23&Go.x=18&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1 5/0 Gamakatsu Offset Round Bend 8-)

You shouldn't post this on a public forum, receiving stolen merchandise is a felony. 8-)

I would say your friend was right. Congratulations! Nice fish. 8-)

Lure weight dramatically influences spool rotation, both initially and near the end of a cast. Heavier weights are generally easier to control. 8-)

Micro, You're right and I came back to delete my post, but it was already copied. I guess we're all bored tonight. Regarding "dedicated": I fish 1/2 oz jigs + trailer ~ 3/4 oz. Heavy lures have a dramatic effect on all aspects of a reel's casting performance. With 3/4 oz, nothing is subtle. Other impressions: The STX is beautiful, solid and strong. Ergonomics are outstanding, especially for palming the reel. I would like everything about the reel if (when) Abu Garcia changes the braking system. As Mircro has noted on other occasions, spending time working with the reel will resolve problems for most fishermen. I just don't want to have to fight with a reel or any of my equipment. 8-)

The magnetic drag is finicky and has poor "memory". I have resolved the issue by making this reel a "dedicated" jig rig. This is a very important component of my arsenal, but I would NEVER recommend this reel when there are so much better options. The CH50MG is being discontinued and is currently on sale for less than the STX. The Shimano is a significantly superior reel at a better price.

I'm confused...What do craws have to do with the conversation? I think the Anaconda is unique and a great value. I've caught some nice bass on the bait and the biggest bass ever caught in tournament competition was caught on this soft plastic. What's the issue? :

Geez.... It's still girls basketball season...When does the NFL report to camp?

Do you have a CD player? I'll supply the music Sunday...

Hmm... I have great luck with the 10" Anaconda and started this thread because I HIGHLY recommend the bait. As with any other, some will not like them. Heck, we have had several guys post lately that haven't caught a fish on the "Magic Lure". Go figure...
-
Well now...that's quite a fish! ;D ;D; ;D
