Congrats .......enjoy your new stick.

He is also known as Bantam1...as quoted in Skeletor6 post.

Monkey has got you in a stranglehold......

Maybe I should of put this over here........ Do These Lips Look Familiar

Just saying...http://www.salmo.com.pl/en/whacky/

That is what these are for.......http://www.luckycraft.com/virtual/Kingyo.htm

To answer your question, I will stick to my JDM CrankBaits....That being said it will be interesting to see what those that purchase them will have to say........

Hooligan, You need to save up your pennies and get yourself a Conquest 50 . The next thing you know you will be setting your spinning reels aside and become a full blown Baitcaster kind of guy......

Here are some pics from the guys that do it...CalFish,Pizz and Oscar to name a few....Click on the Picture and then click on Visit Page.........Some Reel sweet work. http://www.google.com/search?q=calfish+reel+painting&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=VXAnUfKPEOW60AGCxIDgBw&sqi=2&ved=0CFEQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=647

You can get them from here...... http://www.ichibantackle.com/showproductdetail.asp?productid=4100&name=FLICK%20SHAKE%20SIGHT%20MAGIC%204.8%20inch&manufacturename=JACKALL%20BROS.%20(LAKE%20POLICE)

You may want to let the Monkey rest for awhile because if you do get an NRX you will want another and another....They truly are a very sensitive stick. Since you like the 7'1' why don't you start there with the 853 JWR.....Now if you are looking for a CrankBait Rod take a look at the new GLX just picked up a 783 and a 785, very impressed.

This is not a joke......http://www.enterprisenews.com/topstories/x694775086/Brockton-boy-calls-911-on-mom-over-bedtime

The Monkey must have been standing on the heads of the boys over at TW.....Looks like he finally got his way, 25% off on Shimano and Loomis.....d**n he has got some pull......Here is to the Monkey.

What do you want this rod to do.....It looks to me like you are way up in the air.

Today......

The new Metanium will be offered in three different reel speeds and a bit of carry over from the new Antares...If you are a righty they will be available in March a lefty April......... http://www.fishonmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/YH__1576-copy.jpg

Swept Handle's may cause an issue with your paws depending on the size of them just like That used to be true but they are finally starting to get with the program with Swept Handles .....It certainly took some time though.

Sweet....Would be interested in your opinion of the Core.

Nice rigs........Like that 802C.

Come on....you the mutant master with the pastics.

How true......

Three Fifty is a very sweet price for a 853.....As far as waiting for a better price is up to you. You might find a better price but how much longer would you need to hunt for it vs. being able to fish it now. 30% off with a wild card...Just do it.

I am so glad normal people do not read our posts...........Good luck with your conversation.

The Bait Monkey and I sat down earlier while composing a list for our over the winter purchases. That way we both are satisfied by winters end, so far we are on target and we are both very happy.

Wishing you the very best with your procedure and a very speedy recovery.
