  1. WOW! I had no idea there was a market for wolf pelts. How many pelts does it take to make a full length coat? https://www.google.com/search?q=wolf+fur+coat&rlz=1CAWPBA_enUS936&sxsrf=ALeKk01HELGs_M2Ffu8ngGrdvzmd2Io8Ow:1614697349500&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=WRGf_2FkSYDvCM%2C-9bSIIJMaX3DxM%2C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kTsqknxAKpaXfBaNOcItV1YQBXdyA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjM376v8JHvAhVwQjABHQGOBCMQ9QF6BAgREAE&biw=1366&bih=617#imgrc=WRGf_2FkSYDvCM
  2. Maybe a RV? My brother bought a GAINT used Winnebago, top of the line when it was new. A current model in this class would be $150k or more. His is in great shape (9/10) and he only paid $28K. https://www.winnebago.com/models/product/motorhomes/forza
  3. Well, eventually you will want both M and MH, but I think Medium might be a better fit for you to start with. Think in terms of the baits/ lures you use the most. Give us a pricing point so we can suggest specific rods. If $200 is within your budget, the new St. Croix Victory series will be launched in two weeks. We're pretty excited about this new entry in the market. https://stcroixrods.com/pages/victory?utm_source=BassResource&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=&utm_content=banner&utm_campaign=VictoryLaunch
  4. You guys need to organize and get some fishermen involved with the DNR regulators. Your entire regulatory framework needs some changes.
  5. Not me...Buy the best and build your collection over time. To start with I would recommend a G. Loomis GLX 844C for EVERYTHING! https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/catpage-GLOOMISRODS.html?from=basres
  6. Okay that will work, but you really don't need more than 70 or 80 yards of braid.
  7. The line is fine, but a 2500 series reel might have been a better choice. You are going to need a couple of hundred yards of backing on that reel.
  8. Red Eye Shad or Bandit 200
  9. The profile is still available in a Zoom knockoff: https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/catpage-ZOOM.html?from=basres
  10. When you are lying in bed, you are the structure and you put the cover over yourself.
  11. Next time you find the Seaguar Gold Label on sale, give it a try. I think you will like it...a lot! The leader is stronger, thinner and more abrasion resistant than anything comparable.
  12. We'll give them a shot with the brown fish next week.
  13. I still like the Sammy.
  14. Or maybe something like this:
  15. You can fish this on your jig rod: https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Yum_Yumbrella_Flash_Mob_Jr_Umbrella_Rig/descpage-YYBFLJ.html Rig the outside arms with LFT Live Magic Shad weightless. Inside with a Rage Swimmer on a 1/4 oz swimbait head.
  16. That is NOT the case on the Tennessee River, not even close. Boat management is key and it's a full time job in current. Our ideal dam release is 40,000-60,000 cfs, so we are generally scooting down the river, trying to fish at the same time.
  17. I fish The Rig a lot in the spring, but I like to drift with current/troll. I'm fishing for both smallmouth and stripers.
  18. I might be the only guy on the website that hasn't tried the Firecraw pattern. I think I'll start another thread and get some reviews.
  19. Not Dwight's first rodeo.
  20. Well, the last 10 or 20 similar posts by other members have ALL turned out to be line slippage. I suggest using a VERY small piece of electrical tape to attach the line to spool. Otherwise, return the reel.
