what's your approach with cranks for smallies in creeks/rivers?
Always bring the lure downstream, over or near structure. The two I recommend are the Bandit 200 and Wiggle Wart. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_31580_100005001_100000000_100005000_100-5-1 http://www.stormlures.com/products/luresdetail.cfm?modelName=wiggle_wart&freshorsalt=Fresh&type=hard_lures

Favorite Pixy Rods?
I have the MBR842C matched up with a Core 50. This is really a great combination. I suspect the Pixy would be a great fit, too! 8-)

hey .. new here from florida
Not "fake", the term is "artificial", artificial lures. To get up to speed quickly, spend some time in the BassResource.com Library, "Fishing Articles" and "Tackle" at the top of the page.

Private vs Public schools
Seems silly to me. Pre-school is just...well... pre-school. On the broader question, public school is my preference. You will have to evaluate your particular district, but the public schools in my town, Germantown, TN, are outstanding. This is because the parents are VERY involved. 8-)

2 for 2
Suggestion: "Moving" lures. We caught 11 on LC Pointers and Bandit 200's. The bite was hot early, then the sun came out around 10:30 and we never got another strike! Nothing worked slow or on the bottom. 8-)

Hard Jerkbaits
White needs to be one of them. 8-)

Topwater Rod
For all treble hooks you should us either Moderate Action or Fast Action with a soft tip. I prefer Medium Power for topwater. My main rod is an Avid AVC66MF. This is a versatile rod for everything except jigs and soft plastics fished on the bottom. 8-)

Hard Jerkbaits
One of your colors should be white. That was all they wanted at Pickwick Saturday. 8-)

Gloomis working on a rod above the GLX.
This thread got ugly fast... The original poster was alerting everyone about the announcement of a new Loomis series. All "off topic" posts and those referencing the posts have been removed. Please stay on topic. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator

Is this normal ? Or, am I just getting old ?
Not me...it's still all about catching big fish. Right now it's both largemouth and smallmouth. In a few weeks we will add striper to the equation. I fish some beautiful water occasionally (Bull Shoals and the White River), but mostly I'm a river rat! The Tennessee River and reservoirs in the system are commercial waterways. That doesn't bother me in the least, I'm there to catch big fish. 8-)
