Yes Tom Brady is over rated! He only threw what? 50 touchdowns, but man his interceptions where up there, 8 I believe. And a QB rating of only 117.2. And did I mention a mere 4,806 yards. 8-)

I'm starting to think so. I ordered my 7'3" in October from e21 and didn't get it until Dec 24th. And on Dec 24 it seems like every story began carrying the other models. Now, everyone is running out again :-?

Definatley the first thing that comes to mind is St.Croix Avids. I used them for a while but then picked up a Rogue, then a Kistler, then an Airrus XL, then a Carrot Stix LTX. All about the same price, (I cannot figure out where you guys get Avids for under $120). And well, comparing it to other rods and Croix's customer service, they are just a waste of money in my opinion. The other thing is Lucky Craft lipless cranks. Seriously, what is the difference besides the hooks between a $15 LC and a $3 Rapala or Lewis? I cannot figure that one out. Like comparing a Rico popper to a Pop-R imo.

I just miss Stone Cold Steve Austin. 8-)

They catch fish but are constructed poorly imo. Some will sink or not run true out of the box. Eventually everyone I have ever owned did the same, some after 1 fish, some after 20. There are better choices for shallow cranks. Strike King 1s is what I go to now. *Give a spinnerbait a shot too.

I will second that. Along with anything Mann's. Now you're showing your age Tin,lol. This country grew up on the Mann's grape auger tail worm Im spoiled, but sorry there cranks are a joke. One fish and they sink. Also, Luke Clausen represents them :

I have messed with both. And would take a Carrot Stix over a Croix anyday. Lighter and MUCH more sensitive. For my jigs I now use a Carrot Stix LTX MH in 6'9" and 7'3".

You can find much better ones than these two.

I will second that. Along with anything Mann's.

Innocent until proven guilty, again.

LMAO, you "Spygate" people need to get some new dirt on the Pats. It has gotten old, that game was 17 WINS ago. So who here would acctually not support their favorite team if they were 18-0 heading into the Superbowl but were caught cheating the FIRST game of the year? And if you say you wouldn't you are full of it. : Anyway, Pats need to step it up. In the second half of the season they have not played as well as the first. If they play like they did against the Giants last time, they will get beat this time. They have been a little lucky.

Up here we do it in the snow. 8-)

Looks like a Dune-Buggy :-?

That was depressing. Both teams played a horrible game imo. Blame the weather :

My thoughts as well. The only companies I'am truely loyal to are Abu Garcia because of their reels durability and there customer service and Triple Fish mono, best line for the price. I prefer certain things over others but if I like it, I will buy it. The only company I refuse to buy any more products from is St.Croix for reasons I won't get into.

They played that in the arena in Hot Springs and I have been trying to find it ever since.

Hope that is 20 pounds or really good jerky ;D You could have bought 3 more Mattlures.

I'm in, TinMan.

Rod 6'6" Medium or Medium Heavy. For a reel check out the Abu Garcia Max Series.

When I go to type in League ID #, I type in "fishindaddy BR" and the password and says it isn't valid. and there is no room to type in Team. :-?

Forgot about that, thanks for the correction Burley. But ya, I did witness the strange knot tying issues with it. Very strange, and I have heard other reviews and other people saying the same thing. Overall it isn't a terrible line. Just check your knots I guess

Strike King because of there series 1 and 3's. The Red Eye lipless series is the best on the market imo.

E21

Abu, for their durability and quality.
