Couldn't have said it better myself. I have four of them.

Airrus has a stand up warranty. $15 replacement fee with no questions asked. Something too look into.

Mild dish detergent and a Scotch Brite pad. Rinse well and they look like new again.

Man that's crazy. I would have been thinking...Double Digit Bass, Double Digit Bass!!! ;D ;D ;D

Great catchin guys!! Nice to see fellow jig users out there!! ;D

Beautiful fish Dan. Keep posting more!!

Always nice to hear about a PB. Congrats!!!

Got me!!! ;D

Atta Boy. ;D I too have caught a Musky like that on a pig and jig. Needless to say, I wasn't expecting that kind of a fight. Hardest fighting fish I have ever caught!!!

Headed out at Stonewall Jackson Lake on Saturday with a light drizzle of rain. Ended up being a good day. Water was 61 degrees, slightly stained. Caught one 5lbr, one 4.9lbr, one 4.5 lbr, and two that were just over three pounds. Caught 17 in all but these were the biggest. All, (largemouth) came from a pig and jig except the five and a small Kentucky spot which came from a Rapala DT 10. My thanks to all who contribute on this forum for the knowledge that I have gained to have a good day of fishing so early in the year.

Congrats!! I hope all is well. Special day that you will remember forever.

He got me!!! ;D

Count me in, although I am just south of the Mason Dixon line. ;D

LOL!!!

Burley, after I started fishing a jig, seems like that is all I want to use now. I may not catch as many fish, but the average size has increased two fold. Nice smallie, I'd be happy to stick that one.

Hey Troutfisher, Next time your up my way give me a call and we'll see if we can put you on a Stonewall bass the size of that carp. Nice fish!!! ;D

Welcome BassMatt. This is just crazy how small the world is. ;D I grew up on the Guyandotte River. I used to spend all my summers there in a 14 foot john boat. Man oh man the memories I have of all the fishing I used to do there. The section I fished was just below the the town of Wyoming. There is a hole of water in between riffles about 1.5 miles long. I'm sure you know where I'm talking about. Can't believe another fellow Wyoming Countian is on this site. ;D Don't be a stranger!!! Blaine,

Thank you Muddy, you made my day!!!

Welcome Aboard! One of the best things to help my fishing success was to find this website. Good bunch of gals and guys in here. Everyone here will make you feel like family.

I don't know but I really like being on the beneficial end of this. : I only wish Shimano would do the same to the Stella lineup. Who wouldn't want a Stella for $199.99? ;D

Nice, fat, and healthy. Way to go T-rig!!!

I do this as well, but I do it once a year. I also just feed it from one reel to the other. You must look funny wrapping fishing line around your house. ;D ;D I will fish a whole season, then flip the line and fish another season. So I am basically getting two years out of that 100 yards or so. But I also don't use my braid set-up that often. My wife laughs at me and my neighbors think I've lost my mind..... ;D ;D ;D

I know what you mean, I'm not looking forward to telling the wife in the morning what I done....but I hate to pass on deals. She may see it differently though! :

I am strictly Daiwa on baitcasters and strictly Shimano on spinning reels. Haven't found a spinning reel yet I like more than the Stella. I know, I'm weird :

This might sound crazy but I pull off all the braid around my house and yard and spool it up again with the old end first and when I'm done all the new unused line is on the outside. ;D I usually do this after about two months of fishing. Then I have to buy a new spool to fill it up the next time.
