Very well stated! It's very hard to trust anyone in the government anymore...on both sides of the isle. Always an agenda, Always looking to one up someone on the other side by exaggerations, lies, half truths. Sometimes not even half truths but 10% truths. My frustration level is at critical mass. I guess it's always going to be the 80-20 rule for the rest of our lives.

I noticed even when you reel as slow as possible, the props on that little booger spins so fast that you can't see them. At first I actually thought it was broken, it was spinning so fast.

Broke down and bought one at Denny Dennis today. Looks pretty good.

You guys remember the "Holy Rogue"?? A modified rogue with holes drilled in that make it fill up with water and sink. As it was falling it had a rolling motion that sounds a lot like what the action on these spy baits are supposed to have when falling

I second this........I did the braid/leader thing for a few years and have convinced myself that it's not worth the time and effort of tying 3 knots (double uni plus one) whenever you break off. I might be convinced again someday that it's worth the trouble with a spinning rod set up. I suppose if I was finesse fishing very deep water in a lake with a spinning rod, and I thought line stretch would hamper the sensitivity, I might be convinced to do it again. But since I mostly fish rivers and rarely deeper than 15 ft deep , I don't see the need for it. Like DClose said maybe I had my drag too tight to begin with. Having said that, I broke off too many fish with fluoro by itself, even without having a braid main line. I think I would rather use a hybrid line like Yozuri and be done with it .My fishing time is too precious now with a family with young kids that I want to get as many casts in a day as possible. I hate even taking the time to eat a sandwich, but that's just me!

After I learned the whip finish tool I felt like I had the confidence to tie anything. Congrats!

After Shimano got rid of the old Curado, they lost me to Lew's and I don't think I'll be going back.

Love the Lew's

I thought all the spin doctors were in DC, apparently not!

Great explanation! That all makes sense

Yes, she especially likes the rabbit skin pieces!

Nothing worse than a guide failing during the heat of the moment, which makes you fish with other rods that weren't quite good enough for that application. Although the recoils look cheap, they still are interesting to me. Now the spiral mount thing really has my interest too. Besides keeping the rod from rotating 180, are there any other advantages?

I guess with no teeth you need a very tender steak!

This is Chloe She attacks my sprinkler heads with a vengeance! and keeps my .35 acre lot free of rogue deer. One look at the buck tail she conquered is all the proof you'll need.

I'm trying to cut back more on red meat to try and be a little healthier. Having said that, I'm going to try and make it more of a twice a month event. I had a dry aged steak at Flemings the last year and it was absolutely the best rib eye I've ever had in my life! So I've decided to buy a bone in rib eye roast every month and dry age the beef myself. I've seen some great youtube instructional videos on how to do this. Have any of you ever tried to dry age beef?

They look good, I've never used those do it plastic weed guards, but I like the thin wire guards they make. Good idea on the scent!

I have caught so many drum in the bottom lip with a jig... don't know why but I heard they attack it at a different angle than a bass. Never actually seen one do it.

That's funny right there, don't care who you are!

Got to agree there! unless you change it every time you go out.

I only use the uni on everything, my confidence/blindfold/speed knot.

I've never heard crayfish make this noise before. but if you pick up a crawfish and shake it, which I assume they during a backwards retreat swim, their pinchers rattle their pinchers together.
