I have to admit I'm not a big fan of "pro named" 

I don't know, when I put on my retro Jordans and take a running start, I can almost touch the bottom of net....

I will not use War Eagle baits!  I don’t care if they catch fish or not.  It’s a very poorly named company in my opinion. ?

Agree on the name! But I do have one somewhere 

 

I hate a spinnerbait so bad it makes me mad just thinking about one. Yes I know they work but not during the countless hours I've thrown them

No, but I'm stuck in Southern MD for a couple of more years, that's bad enough. Is TN considered the South? cause it's mostly west of here...

Most consider it in the southeast . I've also heard it called "mid south" as opposed to the "deep South." The university of Tennessee has played football in a conference with the name "south" somewhere in it since 1896. A school we have competed against in the same conference since that time is Auburn , whose mascot in addition to a tiger is a "was eagle." This is where @Tennessee Boy and I get our disdain for the name of the fishing lures, a rivalry dating back to the late 1800s..... Football is kind of important in the south, not sure if you've heard. 

 

Where Tennessee's identity in the "south" got confusing was during the civil war. They say our state was almost divided half and half with some young men fighting for the Union and some for the Confederacy. There were truly some families that had brothers on each side of the battles. 

 

As far as Maryland goes, I believe it was considered in the south when they decided to make the national capital in Washington DC

Yes,  We southerner are passionate about our football and we don't buy lures with names associated with our rivals.  No offense to the good people of Auburn. You wouldn't buy a Rocky Top Spinnerbait now would you?
