Skirt forward, fished like a spinnerbait: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1180909581 8-)

Sweet! ;D ;D ;D

I don't feel bad... l l l l <------------------l ;D ;D

Well, the ES66MF and EC66MF are going to perform much like the AC66MF I have already described. The EC68MXF is a different animal which you will use primarily for soft plastics and light to medium weight jigs. 8-)

My AC66MF is my "all around" treble hook rod, but I also use it for buzzbaits and spinnerbaits. I usually pre rig with a jerkbait or topwater lure which are ideal techniques for that rod length. The soft tip is key: stiff enough to maneuver a lure, but soft enough to cushion the blow!

I'm sorry you missed it, but I posted this several times over the last couple of months. Last year the Legend Elite were not suppose to be on sale, but they posted in error. I bought an EC70MHF and they honored the sale but withdrew the offerings. 8-)

They are changing the color to "forest green pearl": http://www.stcroixrods.com/rods/default2.asp?rodname=20

You don't count. You're like a member of the family oh tackle lord. I was thinking the same thing! "Galactic Member" might be a better term. 8-)

I guess we were tying at the same time! Listen, I don't disagree in principal, but from a practical standpoint, delivering a lure that has a huge reputation for producing fish at such a low price is quite an accomplishment. Anyone selling any product knows the combination of tremendous volume and wide spread is a dream come true. 8-)

Read my last post, just above yours. 8-)

As I noted earlier in this thread, there is no incentive to improve the product. The small number of replacements is just part of the "cost of doing business." 8-)

$500/ month seems like quite a lot for a guy who already has everything! 8-)

Well, I'm not a believer in "attractants" for bass, but I do think once bitten, the bass may hold on just a bit longer. Many times, this makes the difference in whether the hook-up is successful or not. Regarding dispersment, MegaStrike is a jelly and lasts as long as you fish a soft plastic. JJ's Magic stink is permanent! Both products will improve your hook-up ratio, but MegaStrike has an additional attribute: it's slimey. I think that's an advantage for soft plastics, but especially important for swimbaits. 8-)

Send to the Reel Mechanic for a professional cleaning and lube. 8-)

Mention the Forum, too. We have a lot of NetBaits users already, but their sponsorship here would add more. 8-)

Great post! Great response! You can't ask for any more than that. 8-)

On the Tennessee River, every fish is a surprise! We call drum "dumb-dumbs" or "rubber lips". The best of the trash fish are buffalo. They fight like a smallmouth, but don't jump. As luck would have it, the biggest fish of the day is always something you don't want! 8-)
