I use 12# exclusicely for jerkbaits. The line is VERY user friendly.

Gotcha!

We do...Tacklemaking, the section just above this one.

Wow! My feet are the biggest issue I have in cold weather. I can't imagine Crocs in the winter.

I have a CTE200GT I would sell for $250. 9/10 cosmetically 10/10 mechanically http://www.mahitackle.com/cte200gt.html

I cover the entire spool every 25 turns of the handle.

Yo-Zuri Hybeid #6, 11.9 lb breaking strength. Green for gin clear water, purple smoke for stained.

Call Shimano and request an exchange DIRECTLY with them in California. Get the name of the person you talk with and note ATTENTION: Dan Thornburn on your package. Enclose a not describing the problem. Dan and his staff will get'r done.

I had the same issue, the baits were unfishable. I called Big O to tell him "Houston, we have a problem". He was already on top of it and pretty ticked! Apparently the formula was tweaked without his knowledge or approval.

Maybe give it another shot. Stike King messed up the plastic formula on the first batch.

The Rage Tail Cut-R is new this year. I had GREAT luck with it this summer. http://www.ragetail.com/news/08/the-cut-r-worm-new-2014/

Caught my first fish on this rig yesterday. Now it's official, I like it!

Too much action. The Float 'n Fly technique is very subtle.

I have had good luck this year using bothe the Rage Tail Menace and Shellcracker as a trailer on the Siebert Tournament Swim Jig and North Star Original Swim Jig.

Well, I just placed an order and didn't notice much difference...You still want me to pay! Really, GREAT JOB!

We have several Flooger fans, but I'm not one of them. So, if you didn't already buy them, I would suggest looking into the Shimano line-up, specifically the Symetre 2500 near your pricing point. The rods you have choosen are great! For soft plastics I'll suggest going with Yo-Zuri Hybrid #6 or a pure fluorocarbon, Seaguar InvizX #10. For the heavier stuff, the PP is okay, but I probably wouldn't use a leader.

Last spring I acquired a Raymarine Dragonfly. We mounted this on my buddy's boat, a fellow I fish with regularly on the Tennessee River. Pickwick has a wide variety of cover and structure which makes this a perfect place to put this bad boy to the test. My friend, Rick Caldwell is a commercial contractor with a degree in Engineering. Early in his career Rick worked for the Tennessee River Valley Authority during the initial construction of a nuclear facility and later NASA. The NASA facility was designed for testing booster rockets during the Apollo era. I thought a review from a "rocket scientist" might be of particular interest! So, here ya go: I have used the Dragonfly for several months now. The Dragonfly is very user friendly and extremely easy to use. The menus are simple and setting up the basics was very easy and straight forward. The joy stick allows easy movement of the cursor and zooming in and out is made simply by the turn of a rotary knob. The unit came with Navionics Gold Charts which provides all the detail needed. The Dragonfly’s dual “Chirp” technology and extremely clear screen (even in bright sunlight) make it invaluable in finding structure and fish. The downscan is second to none for clarity and detail, while the fish finder is equally as good. I use my unit in conjunction with a Humminbird 598 HD SI. I generally use double screen downscan and the fish finder on the Dragonfly due the superior quality of it’s very high quality high def screen while simultaneously using the sidescan and navigation chart on the Humminbird. The combination of these two units provides as much, or more information as the larger units that cost three times as much as the total of these two units. Although the sidescan on the Hummingbird is nice at times, I find myself depending more on the downscan of the Dragonfly. The sidescan on the Humminbird is nice to initially find objects on either side of the boat then to turn the boat and pass over the object to allow the Dragonfly’s great picture like downscan to determine what the object is and if there are actually fish suspended around it. However, if I had to give up either unit, I would keep the Dragonfly. Thank You Raymarine for an outstanding product at a very reasonable price. If I had any constructive criticism about the Dragonfly it would be about the mounting bracket. It is difficult to remove and replace the unit in the bracket. This would be important to those that want to remove their unit from their boat on a regular basis. Personally this does not bother me as I leave the unit on my boat permanently. Bottom Line, Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. Dollar for dollar I believe the Raymarine Dragonfly to be the best value out there in fish finders. It will remain a permanent fixture on my boat.

It's a slippery slope. I catch myself ordering jigs that I have already stockpiled! This year I am going to try some smaller weights, so I'll need at least four of everything. Another "new" collection.

Just curious... Are peacocks invasive or are they stocked by the DNR? Are they considered a gamefish or do you kill them all?
