Yo-Zuri Hybrid is bonded, not coated: http://www.yo-zuri.com/01_products/14_yo_zuri_fishing_lines/04_yo_zuri_hybrid/yo_zuri_hybrid.html Try #6 on spinning tackle, #12 on baitcasting. I think you will like the line. I also suggest applying KVD Line & Lure Conditioner when spooling.

Great value, Blackhawk Boots: http://www.lapolicegear.com/blwawedeopsb1.html

Man, you lucked out...I thought he might send you a Flooger! :

Both kinds...Country & Western

Probably not a very good choice in Texas, but if you go to a BIG FISH state, you might find them effective. :-? My favorite combination is a GMAN Mop Jig with a Rage Tail Lobster trailer. For me, this is a presentation on structure, generally deep.

Buy a pack of Rage Tail Craws (same color) and test them head-to-head, T-tigged or as jig trailers. I used to be a big fan of the Paca Craw, too!

C'mon...I've seen your truck... :

Handle pressure? Hmm...I have never heard anyone comment on this. After reading your post, I kinda "tested" all my reels. They all seem about the same to me.

No, but in 57-59* two weeks a ago. I suspect it's colder now, but the jerkbait bite should still be red hot! -Kent MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This would be a great lure to start your collection. The LC Pointer is good to go right out of the box, suspends perfectly and casts a mile!

None of the brands I buy require any modification.

Loomis GLX MBR 844C/ Core 50MG/ PP 50/12 for jigs, But could be used for all single hook classes (buzzbaits, weighted soft plastics, spinnerbaits, light swimbaits, etc.) PR844C/ Core 100MG/ Yo-Zuri Hybrid #12 for treble hook lures St. Croix ES70MF for weightless soft plastics

Geez...

Moaner 6/0 is a new option. Otherwise, 5/0 in your favorite brand will work just fine. Try the Gamakatsu 5/0 Offset Round Bend, it's one my favorites: http://www.***.com/descpage-GRBOBK.html

Man, that's a beauty!

I like that pic, it's pretty cool!

Nice fish, great pic!

Geez...Hope to hear "All's Well" very soon.

Try to get off Monday. "The Party" is Sunday afternoon/ evening when everyone is arriving. This is one of the highlights of the entire week!

The difference? Like comparing the GLX to a 2X4. http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1291721777

People on the moon?

Congratulations!

Man, you wouldn't believe how much a lump of coal cost to ship!
