  1. Yeah... Life before there was dirt...Walked back and forth to school everyday in the rain, snow and sleet. Five miles, uphill both ways!
  2. Okay... If you fish from a boat you can usually get them back with a lure retriever. From the shore you might get them back using braid or jigs with a thin wire hook that bends. Otherwise, you need to stick with soft plastics.
  3. Your last identical post (#3) has been deleted. One is enough. -Kent
  4. If you look back through this section, there is at least one thread on jigs on just about every page. Here's a great one with additional links from page 3: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1276832195

  7. Always the same... We have plenty of "Senko Threads", please go to FAQs for links. Good night Irene. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator
  8. I have been experimenting with both Seaguar lines since last fall. I have been VERY impressed! These are my recommendations: Spinning tackle: InvizX #8 (.009" diameter) Baitcasting: AbrazX #12 8-)

  14. WOO-HOO! Man, what a trip. Great fish and great pics!
  15. Actually, that's the whole point. Nearly every reel feels great new, but Shimano has built a reputation for durability over the years. "Strong, smooth, silent and reliant." :
  16. Shelving, peg boards and Plano boxes. Everything in mine is organized by "class". I keep oil, tools and line in a separate tacklebox. "A place for everything and everything in its place!" 8-)
  17. Geez... Good night Irene. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator
  18. Wear what you like. The question posed in this thread is asking for a shoe that offers "support". Generally, sandals don't fit the bill. For some, and perhaps Sam is one, ankle support is important. I like the protection a boot offers, too. BlackHawk Warrior Wear Desert Ops Boots are the fastest, lightest, most comfortable desert combat boot available. Now also available in lighter Desert Tan Color to comply with U.S. Army regulations. All 2007 models feature an upgraded Vibram oil resistant TC4+ compound outsole. # FeaturesVibram® “Multisport” oil resistant TC4+ compound outsole has large, open lugs for traversing debris and provides excellent traction on irregular surfaces # Long-wearing, water-friendly PU midsole # Steel shank for unsurpassed support especially when under the load of a full pack. # Ortholite® Custom Molded Footbed # Washable, Anti-Microbial # Unique open cell structure enables air to travel through and around the insole creating a cooler environment inside the shoe. OrthoLite® foams offer up to 95-100% breathability for maximum ventilation in and around the foot. # Dri-Lex® inner lining wicks away moisture and dries quickly for maximum comfort # Cordura® and high-abrasion suede upper for rugged durability. Cordura® panels breathe for comfort and help to reduce weight. # 2” ankle support webbing enhances stability. # Durable sole reinforcements provide unsurpassed abrasion and scuff resistance, especially when in a prone position or kicking objects # Fully gusseted tongue prevents debris from entering boot. # Smooth pulling tunnel eyelets for an even draw when tightening laces Battlefield review of this boot taken from Blackhawk's website: "Greetings, My name is Spc Christopher Nealis. I am a paratrooper with the 2/508 PIR deployed to Afghanistan in support of OEF. I have 14 people in my heavy weapons platoon (4th plt Delta 2/508). I have held all positions in the platoon including dismounted rifleman, gunner, and driver. I have been wearing the Blackhawk Desert Boots for the entire 8 months of my deployment. Through the snow, climbing mountains, walking 16k at night, and standing in the gun for over 12 hours. I tried the issued boots, Oakley SI boots, and the Converse boots. Nothing has worked as well as the Blackhawk's. On September 15th we were responding to a QRF when we were ambushed by an overwhelming enemy force. I was in the gun and upon contact my vehicle (covering trail) was struck by an EFP/IED. I took shrapnel in the rear of both my legs. My driver was knocked unconscious and my TC was wounded in the right arm. I stayed in the gun returning fire until we were able to clear out of the kill zone. Upon reconsolidating I was removed from the gun and placed in the TC position of another truck. We made link up with the platoon we were originally going out for and received fire for the next hour until we were back at the firebase and the LZ for medivac. Getting to the hospital my trousers were cut as were my boots. I am recovering with physical therapy and appointments and should return to my unit within a month or two. I got to see my boots before they were burned and noticed some shrapnel in the rear sole of the right foot. I do not have any shrapnel in my foot. I credit that to you guys. So that is what I am trying to say. Blackhawk saved my sole. I appreciate everything and will be placing an order for more boots as soon as I can. Once again thanks for making such quality stuff. I will be a Blackhawk man for the rest of my career. Regards Spc. Christopher N" 8-)
  19. Rage Tail baits are very popular among most of our members. Their stories and reviews are many and the post a few lines up references enough to know Rage Tail is a brand to try. Good luck! Now, let's move on...This thread is closed. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator
