I do it all the time, particularly the pretty ones from Japan. I usually get two, one to fish and the other to collect dust.

I used to do the same thing until I realized just how much damage I was doing to my 4x4. You will eventually get it out of your system when the repair bills start rolling in.

It's not the breed, only careless owners who stereotypically want a pitbull just because of the bad reputation they have, a novelty if you will. When the novelty wears off they end up getting rid of them. Pretty sad... Kudos to the owners who treat this breed as it should be treated, nothing more than a loving pet.

They are currently experiencing server issues, it may take a couple days to be fixed.

Awesome as usual Marty. I really like the profile on that last crank.

The white crappie is just killer! Looks just like a juvenile crappie.

Very nice Dwain! Your bluegill pattern is so realistic it's scary. I always scroll through your photos on facebook and just drool.

That crappie on the bottom is just ridiculous. Very well done.

You've got that perch color nailed down. Very nice!

Nice gear Iowa Matt! Particularly fond of that casting reel in the lower left hand corner.

I heard you still have nightmares about the carolina rig. I'd rather paint my fingernails pink than fish a C-rig.

That first pic is Photoshopped.

Marty, your work is always a pleasure to look at. Great looking baits!

I picked one up at Cabelas when they were first released, pretty d**n impressive for sure. I could get by with the color, it's not that bad. Give it a few years and I'm sure they will improve even more on the NRX design. I was just blown away they finally made a split grip rod, that alone spoke volumes.

This is certainly true, all by all means to each their own. I have tried all types of line, you name it. Fluorocarbon for me has the least amount of abrasion for the type of fishing I do. I still experiment with other lines but always come back to fluoro.
