I fish spinning tackle with X-Raps and everything at night. Fenwick Techna AV AVS70MM/ Shimano Sustain/ Hybrid #6. Otherwise, I have a dedicated baitcaster rig: St. Croix Avid AVC66MF/ Core. In terms of performance, I don't notice any difference and both are comfortable. I think it's nothing more than preference.

Every time I glance at the clock, it's a minute later...

In real life, Bill Dance is charming, very much like his TV personality. Here a short story: Bill still fishes competitively on occasion, for catfish! His local partner is James "Big Catfish" Patterson. They have won a couple of events here in Memphis on the Mississippi River, but they also fish together just for fun. My fishing partner, Speedy Madewell, is a striper and smallmouth guide on the Tennessee River. One morning on a guided trip, James and Bill spot Speedy's boat and motor over. "Where's the bait?" After some small talk, James heads toward a spot that's holding baby threadfin shad and being chased by skipjack, the preferred bait for stripers at that particular time of year. The clients hadn't said a word, but as the boat moved away, "Was that Bill Dance?" So, Speedy moves up to the dam to make a drift and pick up a couple of 10-12 lb stripes. After drifting back into calmer water, here come the boys making a bee-line for Speedy's BayRanger. "Hey Speedy, ya got a net?", Bill shouts. Two pros drive up from Memphis for the day and no throw-net. Speedy hands over a net and these guys are allover him with thank yous. Speedy says, " I've got another, just keep it and I'll catch up with ya latter." "So you're friends with Bill Dance?" one of the guests asked. Speedy responds, "Nope, not really. I'd help out any fisherman on this river and expect the same from them." Merry Christmas!

Hey Kemosabi! I thought we had a treaty: all posse members, stay off other's turf.

Reminds of the guy who had his wallet stolen seven weeks in a row after inviting young ladies from a gentleman's club to join him in the backseat of his car.

It appears we all agree, Cabela's Customer Service is GREAT! Goodnight Irene.

Too cool... If I had your choices, I wouldn't waste an hour hunting green fish!

Well, he lives here in the Memphis area and has a managed pond, but I don't know that his shows are actually shot here. Generally, the shows are filmed on privated water. .

If you are looking foe an "all-around" rod for treble hook lures, spinnerbaits and buzzbaits: Avid AVC66MF which has a soft tip.

In the NFL all teams have comparable payrolls. How they allocate their dollars is up to each team. Case in point: Jason Elam, Atlanta Falcons. Elam loves Denver and the feeling was mutual. However, the Falcons offered twice as much money which the Broncos decided they could not match. It's all about "allocation", but the total pool of money for salaries is equal. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/2008-11-05-salaries_N.htm

Well now, don't forget we also invited the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and the girls from the SI swimsuit shoot! :

Aluminum frame, graphite sideplates...is that what you mean by "plastic"? http://fish.shimano.com/publish/content/global_fish/en/us/index/products/reels/low_profile_baitcasting/Curado_E.html

Seems like pretty good reviews from Bass Pro Shops website: http://reviews.basspro.com/2010/102799/reviews.htm

Welcome aboard!

Well, if you look back through the pages in this section, "frogs" have been the #1 topic throughout the fall, swimbaits a close second, crankbaits and jigs a distant tie for third.

I wish all our threads had such direct, specific and detailed responses. Thank you, we appreciate your service, too.

Welcome aboard!

Cute... Merry Christmas!

OUTSTANDING!

Although the Lions have yet to appear in a Super Bowl, the Seahawks appeared in '06 and the Rams in '00 and '02. Miami is an example of how quickly things sometimes turn around. All of the teams in the NFL can be competitive on a given day, but most teams have their "up years" and "down years". Dallas might be the perfect example. My point is, drafting, trading and retaining franchise players is the key to staffing, each team has approximately the same dollars invested. This is not how other sports operate.

Your options are limitless, move on...

Do you direct tie or use a leader?

Geez... Watch the money! The "corporate structures" have nothing in common. Less than half the field is competative in NASCAR, they're just filler. Money teams win...Period!
