Welcome aboard! I fish both brands, but not the specific rods. I would go with the St. Croix Avid. 8-)

Man, if you can get a CH51MG at this price, look no further. 8-)

People are so silly. "The sky is NOT falling!" Oil is just another commodity and prices fluctuate. Gasoline will fall below $2.00 a gallon by year end. There is no "shortage", just panic. BTW, Rice is still available at my store, but the media hyped it a few weeks ago as if we were at "The End Of Time". Stay calm, be rationale, we ain't "just about out" of anything except smarts. 8-)

For the same price you get a Zillion with none of this to worry about. But then you would have nothing but a Daiwa... 8-)

Ah... You will do fine. Most tournament fish are 12". 8-)

This is a GREAT old fashion bait shop, privately owned and independent. 8-)

Welcome aboard! Do yourself a favor and spend a day with George Welcome: http://www.imaginationbassin.com/ 8-)

Really, that's all there is to it. Be patient and expect a strike, then you won't be so surprised and react so quickly. 8-)

;D ;D ;D WOW! ;D ;D ;D 8-)

Well...Part II My dad's best friend was with us. A few months later he and some other friends hired Dawg for another float. On that trip................ They BOATED a 16.5 lb brown! 8-)

Oil closed today down $4.63 @ $126.40 ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm fishing the White River below Bull Shoals with Tim "Hot Dawg" Curtis, June 6 & 7. I have been fishing the first weekend in June over there for about seven years. Last year my partner caught 57 rainbow on Saturday and a two day total just under 100. I, on the other hand, fish for big browns exclusively and had three bites, two hook-ups and one fish landed. However, it was the right one! : I actually fished a few minutes with Tim's rod during the trip and probably caught twenty or so, but I don't count that for much. I'm after the big girls. Two years ago my 79 year old dad fought a 15-20 lb German brown for 45 minutes before he finally lost it in the prop. We had the fish to the boat several times, but just out of reach. The fish jumped five times during the fight and never gave up. That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! 8-)

Well, I like several but my best producer is the XCalibur Xr50, blue chrome/ orange: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_74299_100005001_100000000_100005000_100-5-1 8-)

It doesn't just "happen". Glenn's model is "family friendly". Family members fight occasionally, but we try to keep it civil and when it's not, the Moderators step in. BassResource.com is different than other forums on the net and we intend to keep it that way. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator 8-)

OINK, OINK! BEEEEEEEEEEEEEautiful. Great pics, too! 8-)

I'm headed to the White River next weekend and just spoke with my guide. The lakes are at the highest level ever recorded, but due to downstream flooding, water release is limited to turbin generation only. The trout bite is extremely strong with good numbers of rainbow trout and some hefty browns! However, it has been my observation and experience that shore fishing is limited when water generation is high. You may still catch a few fish, but nothing like you would if you float the river. 8-)

Well, I suspect the are not made to be fished in salt water. : When fished in fresh water, the quality of the components (VMC Hooks) is top shelf and the split rings have never been an issue for me or anyone I know. 8-)
