  Dave's already done all the heavy lifting when it comes to this style of fishing so I don't figure there's much sense in me wasting time (and lots of money) trying to one up the "godfather".  

There is a tremendous amount of truth in this. Buy his jigheads. Cut the Zeros/zinkers, Use the Loc Tite Gel.

HIs choice in line is crap but other than that He's the man.

I appreciate your attempts to keep the economy going, but you might save a little money by waiting until you get here to buy things.

Well, I COULD do that but then I don't have anything to do tonight!  Heading to BPS to return the broken rod and pick up some additional panfish gear.  Also, with limited time down there I want to spend it fishing, not shopping if possible.

I assume Ned is already the "king" so godfather seemed appropriate for Dave!  Although I still have 7 or 8 rods laying on the deck I'm not too sure why.  The only reason I pick one of them up anymore is to shake the dust/cobwebs off or to put them back in the rod box!

Thanks for all of your help by the way.

Being really successful with the Ned will do that to you BUT it is not always the one thing going and it is at time NOT the best thing to be throwing. I struggled to believe that but I have now seen it several times. I do feel a little bad saying it, the Ned is not always your BEST option.

Maybe if you'd cut it off that yellow fly line you fish with, it would always work for you...

Buy now, before you need to have everything shipped in. Or worse yet, drive all the way to Springfield.

Haters gonna hate. WE have immediate access to tackle here in Mountain Home at several good retail outlets. There's only one Tackle Warehouse though.

Not all of it is yellow, some of it is white.
