I have a couple of Avocets and honestly can't see why I'd spend more money on a reel. One is brand new, the other I've had for I'm not even sure how long, but several years and as abused as it is still works like the first day I bought it. The new one looks SWEET though.

I had the same problem with Vanish when I first started using it. Turns out I was using the wrong knot. I was also using the improved clinch. Try the San Diego Jam. Since I've switched to that knot I've had zero problems. And use Vanish quite a bit.

That knot is the SanDiego Jam.

I don't think they carry a MH-Mod, I know they carry a 7'M composite cranking rod. I own one of every casting rod that they offer and don't have a "mythical" MH-Mod. lol At least I haven't seen one in store or on the site.

I love the 2 that I have, I think you will too.

Free shipping does not work on the rods right now, it has in the past but, not in this case.

I sure hope so, because that's what I do

Totally off topic, but every cop wants to give Dale Jr. a ticket even for 1 over. lol

I"m also curious, they seem to me like the old Laser Lure that fell of the map a few years back.

I also got that email, the first thing I noticed was the pattern of the bigger bait pictured. I thought I can do that. lol Should be pretty a pretty neat bait to check out especially if the Storm pricing holds true.

Definitely invest in a lure retrieve. I got a cheap one at Academy for like $6, paid for it's self the first outing. Also if there is anyway you know which way the lay down is laying that will help a lot with snags. If you can crank up the tree (stump to top) this will help tons because that is the natural flow of the limbs. You'll also catch more fish because odds are those fish don't see too many cranks down in the bushes.

Welcome from the Edmond/Guthrie area!

I've been painting for about a month now, with just basic patterns with stripes from a comb and scales from a shower loufa. How are you guys making your stencils? I bought some stencil making material, but am wondering how you guys actually cut them and decide on shapes and patterns. Thanks
