When choosing a hook don't worry about the length of the bait. You should look at the girth of the bait and use a hook that has a big enough gap to allow it to penetrate all the way the body and leave enough room to get a good hooks.

Re-Opening this. We can still talk about this stuff, but we have to stay civil. Let's see if we can stay on track.

Addiction may be a harsh term for fishing but I don't think obsession is. Spending $ on fishing that one can't afford can be as harmful as any addiction, does it make a difference what you spend your money on to leave you broke, the rent is still due. An addiction or obsession that takes you away far too much from your family can be very unhealthy as well. To paraphrase what is said on Francho's signature line,,,,,,,,,,,,,most anything in moderation is ok, being excessive isn't..

I'm not a rod builder either but custom built rods don't all have to be $500-$600 dollars either. I've seen comments on here from guys that have had rods built that were in the $150-$200 range and all depends on the components you want and how detailed you want to go with your rod. With a store or off the shelf rod you get the components that those 100 engineers decided on at a huge markup as well. With the custom rod it is just what you want for how you fish with the components you selected.

I disagree, I would say buying a custom rod is analogous to buying a custom made suit from a tailor. You can get a great suit off the rack, or you can get one made specifically to fit you made out of the material you want from a tailor. The off the rack suit may have been designed by 100 Italian fashion experts, but did they design it for you specifically, or for the mass market? And would you rather have something built by a commitee or by an expert? Of course this is assuming that the rod builder or tailor is experienced and is good at what they do.

I liked her music, but don't have any feelings about the rest of her story. Not being mean, I just don't care.

I have a Steez 103HA and a Chronarch 50MG. With respect to very light lures, would the Pixy be between the Steez and 50MG, or the best of the three?

No haters please? So that means I can not post my opinions about her? Wanna know what NO ONE DID for her? Try and help. No one offered her any help, everyone who knew her just accepted their pay checks and looked the other way. I thought she was a joke, her music was o.k. at best when she wasent messed up out of her mind. Wanna know what else is funny? 3 weeks ago, was ANYONE saying a word about her, anywhere? NO. because everyone only cares when they die of self destruction, the whole world knew it was going to happen it was just a matter of time. wanna know what happened when some one told me she died? I went "Well that's interesting.." and then continued on with my life. I cant waste my time with drug addicts.

Getcha a couple Spro frogs. Learn to walk them, pop them, etc. One thing I would highly recommend is twitching it twice, letting it sit for a couple seconds, then twitch it really fast like the frog saw the fish and is trying to get away.

No matter how good of a presentation you have it wont matter if your fishing in a location without fish.

Um, cool story, bro.
