6.8:1 (28IPT) is a little faster than I like for crankbaits, but that's the one I'd pick out of the pair.

That reminds me of a winter hunting/camping trip I took. We had a perk-pot for the fire, overfilled it with water so the grounds were sitting in the water. By the time it started perking, it was done...we let it perk for another 40 minutes. Talk about thick.

One thing most have in common - internal tanks that are very small - less than 2l (1/2 gallon). So you'll be constantly refilling it while on the water.

NWS should have that - notice on the right under 'More information' is '3 day history' It's an hour-by-hour chart.

Ya, if it wasn't for that - I'd take it for a Tennessee Shad.

Look on the bright side, my friend - at least you got it. Nice little selection there - hope the bass your side of The Pond appreciate them. ;)

Second choice - bottom contact...T-Rigs, C-Rigs, bottom jigs.

I don't have a Curado - but 6.2:1 screams crankbaits to me.

If it's illegal - don't follow the herd...don't do it just because others do.

Pre-rigging - the night before I go out in the canoe, I spend time figuring what I want to toss first on any of my 10 combos - then tie them on. Cutting off a lure and tying a new one on is only a couple minutes, if that. I personally don't like the way snaps affect the action, so everything is direct tie or tied to split rings on the lure. Now I could use snaps instead of split rings - but if I put something on that rig that doesn't use split rings, then I'd have to cut the snap off - then retie that if I go back to something that'd use it. Too much of a hassle for me. Only rigs I use swivels on is a Carolina Rig or a Donkey Rig.

I always went through the update list and clicked off/hid those I didn't want. I forget which ones, but there's a few that permanently turn off the Win-10 update 'bug'. I haven't been nagged by that one in years. Win-7 Pro-64 on the desktop Win-7 Pro-32 on the netbook Happy to stay right there...thank you.

Let's upgrade that - I got a Win-95 install CD here.

Depends - I'm someone who occasionally brews a double-espresso straight up for the quick wake-up it gives me...some mornings I need it - I got a 2-shot espresso machine that stays in the cabinet most of the time. Undiluted cold-brew sounds right up my alley.

Well, that'd go well with the old thread on plastic weight. I should get going on the last canoe mods - been kind of a slacker the last few weeks.

Depends on the source. If stream/river levels drop, then ya for a lot of lakes. Spring-fed lakes should be okay, but they're few and far between up here.

@A-Jay and I are 2 months apart - we got about 8 years on KVD...he's a 'kid'.

Yep - all depends on who holds the purse-strings.

This...one thousand times.

Glenn, you have a vid about everything.

Ya - our storm that was suppose to dump up to a foot? Temps have been mid 30s (low last night was 34)...so it's basically melting as it falls.

Na - just stay on the dark side with the rest of us.

I'm using the term in the generic - could be milfoil, lily pads, hydrilla - whatever.

In this case, it's about warranty. Aird-X has a 1 year warranty, Fury has a limited lifetime warranty. Also, it's a bit more responsive so it makes twitching frogs a bit easier - next year my Aird-X is changing to either a Fury or Sierra...ran out of funds for this year.

If you can swing another $20 over that $100 - go with a Dobyns Fury. I would say the 765Flip - that'll handle the 2oz swimbaits.

If I'm casting into heavy cabbage - BC Finesse - Spinning All other techniques - doesn't matter.
