Any of you guys use Photobucket? That's what I've always used and never had an issue.

I do have Photobucket, I'll have to try it, but I also downloaded that photo shrinker app mentioned up thread and it seems to be good. 

yeah, something is up because i have plenty of MB before i'm full and only allow .49MB per upload....

anyways, i'd been waiting and waiting to see if it was for sure what i wanted and i finally pulled the trigger on it!  brand spanking new 2016 GLX 853c, this will be my primary t rig rod.  I took it to the pond and made some casts with a 1/8oz tungsten weight and 7" trick worm and it was a blast to cast and pitch!  very happy with this purchase!

 

I've just been using the snipping tool.  The photos do turn out a little bit poorer quality though

Kastking Spartacus arrived tonight. Looks and feels great. It came with a cover and a spool of 6lb masters monofilament line.

 

Field test review to follow.

Savage Gear, nice........

 

No I'm not the guy that paid $85 for one on Ebay either.

I have a bucket but haven't used it recently since most pages have their own uploader- and this one was working fine a short time ago!  Guess it's time to figure out what the heck my password was.

I'll trade you a whooper plooper for the camo one lol 

Picked up some human tackle to help me beat the heat while I beat up bass

Picked up an Avid X MH and a Mojo swimbait B grade rods at the St. Croix factory store. Really like the avid. The Mojo is huge which will take some getting used too, but since it will handle 1-4 ounce lures I didn't expect it to be dainty. 174 and change out the door for both. 

I recently bought a Chronarch MGL HG and kistler 7'0"MH. I also picked up a Dobyns Extreme703SF and a Ballistic 2500.

Didn't want to look into the arashi clearance bin at Cabela's. But did pick this dredger up and than finally found the savage blue Gill at another dsg

I've got a 3700 box of nothing but Ploppers in the 3 smaller sizes, I think I'm probably good on those. Plus, in case I'm a little short on the mortgage it seems I could just post this on Ebay and make up for it 

Used another site's 20% off to get owner st41s and hyper wires, and TW's 15% off to get triple grips, more hyper wires, decoy snaps, and bobber stops... I hate buying terminal tackle but I love having it 

Allows me to say Na na - na na na to these guys . . . . . 

Totally worth it.

Bought 3 spro bbz 40 rats at dicks sporting goods.  They were priced at 19.98 each, but rang up 15.98!  I've wanted one for a while.  Pretty excited! 

Had a bad day at work and picked up these guys;

Could not find anywhere with both of these and a White Python in stock, so still need to pick one up in that color.  The paint jobs on these things are really insane for a freaking fishing lure.  If I had a desk I would buy one of those little display stands.  But I don't so I am going to fish them and be really cranky when a pickerel bites one off.  

 

Also found a guy on ebay who would make be some MWF jigheads with #4 hooks.

 

Every Time I have gotten them with #4's I look at them and think they are too small, but they work so well.

I just got some #4 and #6 hooks to pour some Midwest Finesse heads. They're tiny, but I'm interested to see how they work.

#4 is as small as I have ever bought.  I can't decide between #4 or #2 as my prefered size.  

Finally took a picture of the Avid X I got from the factory. The only issue I can see with the Avid is a sloppy glue job at the tip, it measures the proper 6'6". So it wasn't a broken tip rod, they have bins for that. The mojo blank looks scuffed like it was maybe a demo rod. Also included a pic of the tag, if you are ever in the area you should check it out. They had some elites as well, but even at half off they were out of my price range.

 

Fishing with the Avid was really nice, I could distinctly tell when I was hitting a weed or a fish. It was way more sensitive then my Cabela's prodigy rods. 

Here is the B stock rod tag, had to do a separate post due to pic size. They also have a decently stocked shop too, especially compared to other shops in the Northwoods.

I just posted this pic from Photobucket... So what's the issue.

Maybe they got enough complaining to stop with their new "policy". I know I sent them a nasty (but courteous) message about it and I got a generic computer generated response from them. I have since switch to Imgur for my image hosting.

Strange, Iv'e been with Photobucket for 4 years, and I never got a notice about their new policy. I do have an account, but not one I pay for.

My Photobucket account is over 12 years old, and it's now useless.
