Here is a review and there are several more linked in the article. We have been VERY impressed with both rods and reels! http://www.bassresource.com/fishing_lures/okuma-tcs-rod.html

When something tries to rip the rod out of your hands! As with most any presentation or lure, the "where" is everything. For the most part I want to be deflecting off structure, ticking cover or digging bottom.

Every American that drives a car. The lowest price here is $1.79, the average is around $1.85.

There has been a lot of talk on the Forum about the Swing Jig. I'm looking forwar to giving them a try!

Well, this is actually a recipe for carp, but it will probably work for drum, too: Soak a cedar shingle in water for at least one hour. Fire up the grill until the coals are white hot. Fill the fish with lemons and butter, salt and pepper to taste. Place the cedar on the grill and cover the fire. Cook for 45 minutes. Remove from grill and let sit for 5 minutes. Throw away the fish, cut the cedar plank into four sections and serve!

I think the 14 lb story turned out to be bogus. As I recall, the fish was not weighed. The best documented story in recent years was 11.83 pounds caught pre-fishing Friday and again the following day: http://www.thefishingwire.com/story/281402 This is my story about "The One That Got Away" http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/68635-huge-disappointment/

Smoke blends almost perfectly with stained water (Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers specifically).

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Schooled? You don't have to be an engineer to see just how ridiculous that statement sounds.

I can't quite picture you fishing that gear.

I'll go for a shore lunch on the White River maybe once a year, but that's about it. For anyone interested in loading the freezer, you can use commercial nets on the Tennessee River and keep all the drum, catfish and buffalo fish you catch- there is no limit. How 'bout the guys bank fishing for skipjack, do you think they eat them, too?
