This is my go to crank bait, I love them. If I am throwing a crankbait 75 percent of the time its a spro... I hate throwing cranks but I have had several 60-70 fish days on one spro.

I personally prefer netbaits swimbait, they last, unlike some of the other hollowbody's I have used. I really like fishing them on a scrounger head, which is nice because you can adjust your action and depth with them. Owners new swimbait hook with the willow leaf is real nice as well.

Guides? lol, pretty much around here you have little lakes that are good, the big ones are junk, all of the good lakes are in oklahoma or missouri... granted there are some decent lakes about 2 hour drive from wichita that are in kansas.

Where exactly where you at?

Some buddies and I will be there, we are launching out of lynn creek... we had a college tournament last year when it was going on... talk about a ton of boats everywhere.

What did you get? Jay ended up with a champion... now I am stuck fixing it all the time

Watch out, mike is slightly old but the passenger seat in his boat if very comfortable. There are places all over, NE oklahoma is simply amazing in my opinion.

I have both, the spro takes on water... people say to do this or that to them and they work better.... My thing is why spend that kind of money on a frog and have that kind of problems. I like the mad maxx frog but my favorite so far is the river2sea frog with the small colorado blade on the back..... by far my most productive frog yet

I had a huge problem snapping their hooks, granted this was several years ago but I won't go back.

I pitch probably 75 percent of the time i fish, I can pitch quite a ways, accurately. I pitch just b/c if I am out of the back of the boat, fishing a tx, roll casting out of the back sucks... and you tend to get some mean looks when u bounce something off the outboard. I practice, anytime I pick up a rod, i pitch around. Pretty much whatever you feel comfortable with is normal.

They are the same frames, from what I can tell, and its pretty much the same as a revo s, centrifugal braking with a slower gear ratio. Great reel for cranks or just to slow your presentation down.

The escalades have had issues... but the silver max's do as well. The best bang for the buck, that is cheap, would be one of the bass pro reels when they are on sale. The only other thing is spend a lil extra money and get a revo s, revo orra(if u use a right handed reel), or a citica.

Check to see if you have fuel pressure at the valve on the fuel rail, then if you do then you know its not the pump. If it doesn't see if you have power and ground going to the pump, if you do and its not pumping then wham bam thank you ma'am its your pump. You could do it yourself but since you said you just filled up i would take the bed off and do it that way... alot easier and no mess.

I like alot of the rage stuff, it has all performed real well for me.... Now the evolution jig.... JUNK! Skirts fell apart, nothing special except the huge price tag.

The reels are made by quantum, i know one of them looks identical to the code.... i wouldn't own the reels, the rods might be alright

Look at arby's, their stuff has shrunk.... granted i read on yahoo about a month or so ago that they are predicted to go under this year.

http://www.tackletour.com/previewabugarciaveritas.html I like it, Abu Garcia is going to cause me to go broke

They haven't been out very long, and the owner kind of pumped some no name pro staffers into the company..... From what I have heard so far they are pretty good rods, I haven't seen one so I am waiting for some more reviews before I buy.

A couple of years ago, I was deer hunting on my grandfathers land, it was blowing snow, just miserable. I'm sitting there in my tree stand, coming in and out of sleep, when out of no where I hear a twig snap.... don't ask me how I heard it. So I slowly start looking around and all of a sudden I look down and there is a cow elk. They put these about 100 miles from our property, I hunt in the middle of kansas, so i about pooped. Then I'm watching this cow and a bull walks right under my stand, I could have taken a step down and touched his antlers with my foot. I had heard people say that they had seen them but hell they see alot of things.

the firing pin spring could be getting weak, firing pin could have worn down. Does the firing pin make any type of impression on the misfired rounds? I know you have said it will do it equally across the board when it comes to ammo, but try putting in a higher end load in then follow it up with a remington round, remington sinks their primers into the case and it if fire then I don't know but if it doesn't check it for an impression. Another option is contact mossberg and see if they can point you into the right direction

I wouldn't recommend a body lift, I have seen to many bad things happen with body lifts. Another thing is make sure your wheel bearings and u-joints are in good shape, b/c there is more weight once you put bigger tires on they will take a very small problem and make it bad in a hurry.

I don't have one yet but I have heard alot of good things about the ardent set

I am a big 12 fan, Oklahoma state Alumni, I didn't want to see OU lose but then again it was a sweet loss, but hey we have 6 teams ranked in the AP top 25, that says something now.... granted we will all have to wait and see for the bcs standings since that is all that matters

I haven't held one yet but from what I can tell the main difference is the drag discs used. From what I have read if the drag discs are it then I would probably just buy the s b/c its like 10 bucks more, or you can even get them for the same price as the orra.

I have a premiere that the spool bearings are starting to scream on.... ya kind of crappy, but I was wondering what kind of upgraded bearing I could get for it. I have looked around on some sites but haven't found a whole lot. Also what about beefing up the drag washers? I know the premieres are kind of week compared to the rest of the revo series.
