You know what my answer is going to be. How short of a handle? 7-9 inches? Would you be willing to go 10 inches?

Take your hand and lightly twist it back to normal. I had to do that with the old one before I upgraded to a larger motor.

I wish one of our lakes around here had alot of boat docks like that. I love flippin' and pitchin' around those things. The lakes that I fish that have a few, you will get into trouble if you get caught fishing around them. I wonder if Guntersville has some docks like that. BTW Fivebasslimit, sweet boat. I can't believe no one jumped all over that thing when you had it for sale.

Oh yeah, my wife is as much as a tackle junky as I am and loves to fish jerkbaits like no other. Her most recent purchase was a Alphas 103 from Japan. She liked the purple color and claimed she could could palm it better than her Viento. Likely story.... :

I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for posting Catt.

Thanks Alpster, if you need help or get overloaded with stuff let me know, I'll help out.

Good photo and beautiful fish. That photo has a surreal look to it.

You know, I would have never noticed that until you posted. Here I thought we had another person on the site that works on reels. (Maybe even JDM reels) Nevermind.... I checked their shop, they only do Shimano.

That's the LBH I know. You sound more like yourself now. Hey man, we all have our days, some more than others unfortunately. There have been quite a few days on here where I read your posts and can feel the enthusiasm you project just by reading your words. You have cheered me up quite a few times and don't even realize it. Thanks for that! Blaine,

Mine would have to be my Kistler Helium II LTX MH 7'. Just alot of fun to fish with a 3 oz. rod. Russ, I have always wondered what that silver rod was that we always get to see in the videos. Now I know.

Exactly!!! ;D ;D ;D

NO lol Prove it.

YES.

BTW, how's the finger?

If I'm gonna listen to it, I want it to be whiskey drinkin', snot slingin', tear in my beer havin', old school country. The new stuff I don't care for that much.

I use two models: Kistler Helium LTX II 7' MH - The reason I use this rod is purely for the weight and sensitivity. Pick one up and you will know what I am talking about. The other I use is a Kistler Mg H 7'8" All day Flippin' Stick. Sensitivity is good with braid, but it has the backbone to pull a 6 lb. bass out of a clump of flooded brush. (Most of the time) :

Congatulations to you sir!! Now the real fun starts!! ;D

Dang man, sorry about the finger, or almost the lack of. Pretty cool about the win though after all that happened. Cali does it again!!

You guys are dedicated, sounds like someone else I kow. :

Dude, you never cease to amaze me with the variety of fish you catch. It is a pretty fish for a carp. (Koi)

Thanks for the post Catt, very informative as usual.

Don't worry, so did I last winter after watching his videos. I have caught some decent fish while pitching laydowns and undercut rocks. I bought 4 packs, 2 liver and 2 watermelon coreshot. I use a nail weight with mine just like in the video. They fall away from you just like a Fat Ika when you rig them backwards. DYNAGONE 4"

Dude, you're starting to get a serious addiction. I think all hope is lost for you now. Nice setups man!

Ditto, except only with the jig. The swimbait bug hasn't bitten me yet......I stress yet!

What is the speed of DARK? :-?
