;D ;D ;D ;D CONGRATULATIONS ;D ;D ;D ;D 8-)

Nice fish, great pics! 8-)

This will help, but we also have a number of articles in the BassResource.com library ("Fishing Articles" at the top of the page): http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1120348381 8-)

Let's leave it here guys... This thread is closed. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator

My suggestion would be the Chronarch 50MG. Everyone I know that owns this reel is very happy with its weight, size, profile and performance. Another option might be the Core 100MG which I recently picked up on our Flea Market for $235. 8-)

Yeah, I have seen the posted warnings in Missouri: Fines for speeding are doubled and... "If you hit a worker, you will pay $10,000 and you lose your license."

And new PBs to boot! 8-)

Yeah, it's gotta be "Darth Vader". 8-)

Buy your gas at Walmart, Costco or stations that are competing near them. In the Memphis area, gasoline varies by as much as 40 cents a gallon! We also get up to 30 cents discount from a rewards program at Schnucks, a regional grocery chain. With a little luck, we might break below $3 this month! 8-)

Raul, Sometimes you're just scary! Who would remember all that?

A small fish could not break any brand of line without other issues coming into play.

Oil is currently trading down $3.52 @ $111.49. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Fireline is not a braid, its a "superline". "In the early 1990s, gel-spun and aramid fibers such as Spectra, Kevlar and Dyneema entered the fishing line market, creating a new category of lines often called "superlines" or "microfilaments." Anglers who experimented with early superlines were frustrated by low knot strength, backlashes, poor coloration, damaged equipment, impossible snags, and more."

I bought a Shimano Core 100MG off the Flea Market last night. Although I am pretty focused on the rod I plan to match up with this reel, I would like to hear what others have to say or suggest. This will be used as an alternative to a MBR844C for big soft plastics and jigs exclusively. Thank you.

You won't lose many spinnerbaits, if fact, I don't think I have ever lost one! So, spend a little extra and buy the Terminator Titanium lures. They're great! http://www.tackletour.com/reviewterminatort1.html 8-)

You need to set your drag properly, check your guides and inspect your line. I have never been broken off by a fish using Yo-Zuri Hybrid or Hybrid Ultra Soft. Regarding Fireline: If you fish in a rocky environment the line will fray. Perhaps if all of your fishing is in open water or vegetation the line will hold up, but it is not an "all-around" fishing line and there are much better alternatives. Note: I fished the original fomula which had poor tensile strength and underperformed its pound test ratings. As is typical of Berkley, after introducing a sub-par product (Vanish for example), they often repackage the brand as "New and Improved". The "New" Fireline is touted as 20% stronger... Well, that may be the case, but: "Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me." p.s. Ironsilk has been discontinued. I suspect Fireline will be the next to go. 8-)

Nice post, great day! 8-)

If you decide to break the law, be prepared for the consequences. In my neighborhood, I would like the fine to be $10,000 and 5 years in prison. >

Fireline is among the worst lines ever introduced. Avoid this line, it is undependable for any type of fishing. The line has zero resistance to abrassion. >

Nice fish, GREAT pic! 8-)

I'm still waiting on a 12-1 brown fish for fame... In the meantime, I'm fishing for fun! 8-)

The GYCB Kreature is a much better option, rigged weedless: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1180909581 8-)
