Well... We were trying to decide what to name "them" before there were rocks! :

No. Check out the links provided in this thread.

Geez... C'mon Catt, That's "old news". Your thread is more than a month old. Things may have changed! :

Congratulations! That's really cool. 8-)

Countdown: CD 09, 3 1/2" 7/16 oz Rig the "baits" on a 1/0 straight shank hook with a split shot about 12" up the line. ALWAYS cast across stream or upstream so the bait or lure is moving with the current. 8-)

Everyone's looking forward to seeing your mount, probably as much as you are! I'm sure it will turn out great. 8-)

Looks like Edouard is going to bring cooler temperatures and some welcome rain to the Mid-South tomorrow or Thursday. I hope we get a few inches and it sticks around for a day or two. 8-)

Rapala Countdown, rainbow trout pattern. (Buy two) Panther Martin, gold blade with black body and chartreuse spots. (Buy a few, you will lose some) Red worms and night crawlers are excellent baits, but #1 for numbers is canned corn! 8-)

I thought you got rid of all your Fenwicks and were going with Cabela's rods only? Next thing ya know you will be fishing GYCB soft plastics with Shimano reels!

I fish all soft plastics on a 7' Medium Power/ Fast Action spinning rod. My set-up is a St. Croix Legend Elite ES70MF/ Shimano Stella 2500FB/ Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft #6 (0.10" diameter, 11.9 lb test). 8-)

Full-bore retail is usually cheaper than "free". That goes for just about everything, not just boats! 8-)

The IMX series defines G. Loomis. After that, it just depends on how important $100 is to you. When contemplating which one to buy, remember this: Unless you lose the rod, you will have it or a new replacement for the rest of your life. 8-)

Well, it can't... Good night Irene.

SALUTE! Welcome aboard! 8-)

For the bigger Slug-Go (6" and up) a 5/0 Offset Round Bend works well. 4/0 on the 4" size. These hooks add a little weight and the shank acts as a keel. Although I don't fish them on a baitcaster, I think the added weight will help you with that equipment. BTW, The added weight is balanced throughout the bait and I don't think it has a negative impact on the action. I fish Slug-Go baits to imitate a feeding minnow (slow), not as a jerkbait (fast). For a change of pace, try the GYCB Laminated Lizard with a split shot in the same situations where you are throwing the Slug-Go. 8-)

Hybrid #6 will be fine, but treating the line with KVD Line & Lure Conditioner will make it even better! 8-)

Longer rods are a definite advantage, but the SR705R will launch a lure like a catapult. This rod really loads up! 8-)
