Mrs. Matstone

Thank you. ;D By the way, very cool site.

Ok I am tempted, but first did you ever have your feet totally submerged in the water and if so how long did it take for them to dry out? Secondly do they come in smaller sizes? I am looking but cannot find anything. lol

Congratulations. ;D

Nice fish! ;D

Nice fish ;D

Great post! very well said! Awesome fish too. Congrats to you! ;D

I hate it when I am fishing from shore, catching some fish and having a good time and then some guy comes up in a boat and comes in so close to where I am fishing that I do not even have room to cast anymore and have to move on. Which alone is bad enough and really ticks me off but then when I move on to the next spot and start catching fish again they move right up again. Again I am forced to move on. >

I have never really fished craws to often and it is something that I am planning on fishing more often this year. I have fished the paca craws in the past but since fishing the rage craws I have found that I liked them much better. As far as the craw being hollow I think that this feature provides certain benefits but like anything else it also has it's drawbacks. First of all it allows for easy insertion of a tube rattle or tube jig. Second the hollow body also traps a certain amount of air which is gradually released as the bait falls to the bottom. Last but not least, Their is a lesser amount of plastic to compress during a fish bite. As for durability, I would tend to think that a hollow plastic would tear more easily and need to be replaced more often. Like I said I have not fished them often but this has been my experience. I personally love the rage craws and have had good luck with them. I have not had to replace them as often and I really like the action that the craws have when moving through the water. I also like running them across the top of the water as well and have read a few different articles that people have wrote about where that has worked very well for them. It really depends on what your personal preference is though and what you are looking for. Good luck to you.

Just wanted to let you all know that adjustments have been made to the Rage Tail site and anyone that couldn't view it before should be able to view it now. (I hope) ;D

Great pic and Congrats on your new PB! ;D

Great pics and nice fish. That bluegill is huge! Congrats ;D

;D Great answer... I personally call them thingamajigs.. They are parasite weights and they do work well. I use them ALOT. On the bass pro shop site they have them rigged wrong. Here is a link to the parasite weights site themselves. Their is a video that shows how they are rigged. Hope this helps. http://parasiteweights.com/

Congrats! ;D ;D

I think that kind of have to agree with all of you on some things. For me personally I hate to shop, hate spending money unless it is on a big old steak or some new fishing gear, I do not carry a purse (that is what we have pockets for and if it don't fit in there I don't need it) The shoes that would prefer to wear would be my muck boots (for fishing) or just being barefoot. The rules I live by would be to never to discuss money with him at all. I have never seen one of his checks and could not even tell you how much money he makes. If their is something that our family needs he always makes sure that we have it. If I do have to ask him for money I I usually feed him a nice heavy dinner first. ;D I also smile and nod when he talks, if you asked me what he was talking about 10 minutes later I probably don't know. The only thing that want for Valentines day is to go fishing. ;D This being said after reading all of your posts I think I have definitely missed the money train. I fear there is alot more that I could have been getting away with all these years. ;D Good solution roadwarrior, the solution I prefer is nice glass of Jack on the rocks. ;D

Nice fish Congrats! ;D

Always enjoy reading your posts. Glad to see that you and Emily had another productive outing. Congrats. ;D

I use the parasite weights. I have been using them for a long time and like them alot. They also have just the clip for when you fish stuff weightless. http://parasiteweights.com/
